I was invited to speak at a Church. During my message, I talked about reformation and how the presence of the Church will transform a society. At the time, I had just completed my book, The Sound of Reformation, and spoke about reformation and what happens during a...
Our spiritual life has its own version of street cred. The phrase “street cred” is an awareness that creates credibility among fellow believers of those who understand the harsh realities of spiritual life. Credibility comes from an awareness of issues that someone...
One person’s misinformation can be another person’s truth. These are confusing times for those who have not established what is true. We need to weed through what is presented to us as a “fact” to discover the truth of the matter, even if it contradicts our...
As God blesses you and your particular Kingdom assignment, it will be important to not claim ownership of anything God has done as the result of your faithfulness. These moments are a test of our hearts, especially when those who abandoned us amid a...
While something like the coronavirus is nothing to take lightly, the fear it creates is what we must prepare for even more than the virus itself. Fear can cause good people to abandon goodness and begin to act in ways they would never have imagined before fear was...
