Movements that have altered modern history are due to the fact that God moved in individual lives to make a difference in the world around them. Ideas that don’t move people and inspire them to act have never changed individuals, let alone history. Movements are marked by a compelling vision for the future based on a strong set of convictions. Movements require a sacrifice where individuals put the vision ahead of their own agendas and convenience. Movements are also culture-changing and depend ...

A relationship with God is crucial to our life and destiny. Without really establishing a deep relationship with God, we go off the rails or never get on them...That is why we need to be intentional about this thing called intimacy with God. It’s not enough to just throw up a quick prayer when you wake up, when you go to bed, or during a crisis, but there's a deeper place of satisfying connection that awaits you. The truth is most of us desire to get close to God spiritually. But we get distract...

Today, there is a major QUEST for INTIMACY...In our walk through life, we can become desperate for intimacy.. Intimacy issues take on many forms and show up in many different ways in our daily lives.

With that being said, our level of comfort with intimacy itself… true intimacy , actually determines the quality of...

One of the most popular questions you will get from People today is "What is my purpose?" Everyone wants to know why they’re here and what they’re supposed to do with their lives. This question plagues people of all ages but what is the answer? The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for. We want to know that what we do matters, that we are making a difference. And if we don’t understand why we are here or what we were made for, we’ll fill ...

We live in a day where so many books, so many Ted talks, blogs, teachings, and conversations are on the subject of purpose. Yet there doesn't seem like there has been a time where more people can't seem to find their purpose. Many don't even know how to define it let alone describe their struggle. Purpose is defined as "the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists, a person's sense of resolve or determination". It is the central motivating aim of your life, the...

Technology today is disrupting every industry and every area of life. We’ve seen the digital revolution change the game in demand for human expertise. As a result, there is now a premium on intellectual curiosity and learnability , the desire and ability to quickly grow and adapt one’s skill is imperative. What you know is less relevant than what you may learn, asking the right questions may be more valuable than knowing the old answers. Many times, the natural and spiritual realms parallel. We ...

There is a fire that has been growing in recent years. It’s not a new fire, it is a fire of mistrust and skepticism directed toward anything institutional. Also, the last few years have been a rough stretch in the eyes of many, for the evangelical church. Plagued not only by the ever-persistent pandemic crisis, an increasingly polarized cultural-political environment as well as some instances of internal scandals. Perhaps it is not surprising that this same period of time has seen a rise in so-c...

Social Media in the last few years has been full of conversations regarding deconstruction. Many people are talking about it from many different angles. Conversations about deconstruction seem to be ubiquitous. There are so many articles, so many social media links, and so many sermon series, dedicated to critiquing existing theological traditions, church platforms, or Christian public figures. It's not a new word or idea by any means, but it sure feels like "deconstruction" is the new, trendy w...

Wanting our own way is woven into the fabric of our fallen nature. Since the fall, it has been our default orientation. We can see this, even from our earliest days, whenever our way is crossed. We insist on our own way beginning in the cradle and then on the playground and in school, we grow up and then as adults it pops up in the workplace and our relationships. Insisting on our own way is at the heart of most of our conflict, and at the bottom of almost all of the ways humans abuse others. Th...

The modern 'selfie' has established itself as the latest form of self-expression. Is it a harmless fad or a dangerous sign of modern society's growing narcissism? We are living in a “selfie” culture of self-centered, self-promotion, and self-glorification. We want to know ourselves; be ourselves; we want to snap ourselves. Authenticity and self-awareness are worthy goals and even biblically encouraged. But often without warning or intention, this drive to know ourselves becomes all-consuming. It...

Great changes are occurring in our World today, which demand a power that is beyond the natural plane that many cling to.... In this hour we need something beyond, we need the anointing. But many of us don’t really know what it is or how it operates. THE anointing is not some mystical something out there. Everyone is anointed for something …called to do great exploits … Every one of us has an assignment on our life. But not everyone feels equipped to carry it out. If you don’t feel like you can ...

There’s a permeating feeling of powerlessness everywhere around us right now. Over the last few years, people have begun to discuss and debate power even more furiously, consistently and desperately than ever before.

We live in a time of great anxiety over the role of truth in public life. Media and popular culture are saturated with concerns over “fake news,” alternative facts and conspiracy theories. There is widespread concern over the breakdown of integrity, HONESTY and trust in public figures and the so-called experts, ...

We live in a world that has dramatically changed its view of truth, resulting in an inherited value system that denies the existence of truth . Past generations of Americans viewed God as the basis of truth and morality. Not anymore. Hot topics include the chasm between the biblical view of sexuality and the secular view, which grows wider every day. Every week there seems to be a new headline on social media about an author, blogger, musician, worship leader, Pastor or YouTube celebrity re-inve...

We live in a world where hustle culture is huge. We’re busier and more stressed than ever before. Our commotion culture enjoys a lack of sleep as a badge of honor. Stimulants, like caffeine & Red Bull, provide the means to get moving in the morning; while sleeping pills, and night sedatives, allow us to forcibly shut down for some shuteye. Buying into the misguided notion that “You can sleep when you’re dead.” If there’s one thing we have lost in this past season, it’s our rhythm. It has bee...

#YOLO. #FOMO...We live in a driven culture...One ruled by hurry and worry. We spend our time talking about how busy we are, how tired we are, and about how little sleep we get. We hustle, we rush, and we cut back on sleep. We measure our non-existent R.E.M. by our wrist computers. Simultaneously, We also are living in a very troubling time in the world. The atmosphere of our day has dramatically changed. The fast-paced world conditions have escalated from confusion to chaos,...this can be seen b...

Since the mid-20th century, we have seen the medium of communication. News reports and data go from a dependency upon the printed page to the audio/visual, and now to the present digital age. The results have been nothing short of a seismic shift concerning the modern barrage of unlimited voices the average person must sift through. Back in the day, you had to have a degree of prominence, be answerable, tested & have a telecommunication backing to get to be widely heard, now all you need is ...

Long before the term “influencer” was coined, young people played that societal role by creating and interpreting trends. Now a new generation of influencers has come on the scene. Members of Gen Z are true digital natives, from the crib they have been exposed to the internet, to social networks, and to mobile systems Now Generation Z is officially the largest generation in the world today.

In a world where power is often interpreted as the ability to exert physical and political influence over one’s enemies, it is important not to ignore a very different sort of battle space: the fight over perceptions and the struggle to influence ideas. In this arena, narratives can be as powerful as physical force, but where physical force is often a tangible battle; narratives are an intangible one! false narratives are running rampant. Divisiveness is growing. Tempers are flaring as a stress-...

As chaos abounds, we need to be poised to release life and hope into the gathering darkness. In this hour, it is crucial that we learn to listen to Holy Spirit and live from Heaven's reality. We must have the right prophetic perspective, or we won’t have the correct interpretation of things that are happening around us. Meanwhile, we mustn't allow our culture or circumstances to influence our perspective of reality, rather than relying on the voice of God. We must not lower the bar by undiscipli...

Most people associate the role of a prophet with the idea of telling the future & prognosticating what is going to happen next. But telling the future was not the major role of the Biblical prophets. In fact, their prophecies were more of a side effect. Their primary in the Bible was to serve as God's megaphones, declaring whatever God commanded them to say and speak with the people about the will of God in their specific situations.. This way God always had a people prepared to step into th...

Cosmic upheavals of varying degrees have kept newscasters, forecasters, pundits & podcasters busy, as nation after nation, records disasters of disturbing magnitudes.

We live in an “anything can happen and probably will” world. The unthinkable has become the acceptable. Recycled opinions are passed as original thinking, and people settle for what is, rather than fighting for what could be. There are current cultural shifts, which means that our mindsets and ministries must shift as well. To be effective in soul-winning, we must be open to change. What’s the Church’s answer to this rapidly changing culture? How do we win people to Christ in our fast-paced, hig...

The prophetic evangelism movement is growing…. Groups of typically young believers are pouring out into the streets, coffee shops and shopping malls; listening to the Holy Spirit as He directs them to speak with people. Knowing their identity as sons and daughters and recognizing the moment they’ve come to; they are rising up in compassion and confidence and releasing an epic witness. Using revelatory gifts of words of knowledge and prophecies and becoming the voice of God to people who may neve...

As the world changes, post-COVID, the task of evangelism could very well become harder & harder with opportunities potentially increasingly restricted. Yet, if anything is true in this era, the need for evangelism is greater, as so many people have been confronted with their own mortality. With a world that seems to be on the threshold of MASSIVE uncertainties, people are asking questions. For far too long, evangelism and missions have been seen as the exclusive responsibility of trained pas...

Bruce Springsteen was right when he said, "Everybody’s got a hungry heart." Today we live in a day of information overload – daily crisis is the rule of the day. Media channels bombard us over and over again. Every day there is a new issue, a new catastrophe, a new problem with crime, economy, politics, a new murder, a new INJUSTICE, a new war. That is all we talk about and that is all we think about. But there IS something that must rule the human heart and it’s no longer an option. There are i...

“ When a man loses money, he’s lost nothing; when he loses his health, he’s lost something; but when he loses his hunger, he doesn’t just lose something, he is lost” . The world seems ripe for spiritual enlightenment. Secular humanism no longer satisfies. But, neither does any form of Christianity that relies more on traditions and creeds, than on a personal relationship with God. The push-button-pop-pill generation is looking for a quick fix spiritual experience that promises instant blessings ...

Every one of us are waiting for something. We wait for the unanswered prayer, the apology, the relationship to be restored, for the grief to pass, for the wedding day to arrive, the promotion to be given, for the family, the baby, the breakthrough … we wait. But, maybe instead of focusing only on the desired outcome we took a deep dive into the purpose and value of our waiting seasons. We can either wait, only looking ahead, or we can embrace all that there is for us in the now. It is in the emb...

How many times have you felt like you were singled out because of your relationship status? Unfortunately, we live in a society that equates personal fulfillment to whether or not you have a ring on your finger. Too often, single Christians are viewed as if they are missing out on life because they don’t have a romantic interest or that they feel the need to put their lives on hold as they wait for the right partner to come along. Being single was never intended to be seen as a curse. Maybe, it’...
