Something beautiful happened to me during our sabbatical. I fell in love with my Bible all over again. Don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean I ever fell out of love; it's just that I had become dependent on digital devices, such as my comput…
Let’s take some shots today! Someone needs a word, a touch, a miracle, a hand, a prayer, a healing, hope… 🙏🏼🔥🙌🏼
I was approached at the end of two services and a membership class. I had spoken at all three events back to back. You would think I would be exhausted. I was not. I was rejuvenated. The person who approached me said, 'You are saying many of the sa…
The Enemy is desperate because he knows his time is growing shorter by the day. This is why the world is in a heightened state of disruption and chaos. While it’s disorienting and alarming, it is also yet another sign of the times. Jesus&rsquo…
We cannot afford to be naive. We were born into a spiritual world at war. In the words of author and scholar Chad Bird, we are 'Wading through angels' as we go about our daily lives. In an unseen realm that coexists with our world, there is non-sto…
Something remarkable happens when you engage the world with a 'God-inside minded' perspective and an upright heart. God's light and favor shine upon you, and joy fills your heart. People are attracted and drawn to you. Why? Because 'Those who look …
David understood the value of beginning his day in prayer and communion with his Heavenly Father. I have learned to guard my mornings by praying through the Lord’s Model prayer before I check emails, social media, or the news, and by engaging …
In every realm of life, there are primary and secondary emphases. When it comes to the whole of our lives, Mind, Body, Spirit, the scriptures give us a clear primary focus: We are to “seek first the kingdom of God.” Three words stand ou…
The Bible is filled with honest, heartfelt prayers. I value the purity of David’s words as he leans into his identity as a son of a good Abba Father. We know by reading scripture that David slipped more than once, and yet he chooses to see hi…
Psalm 46:10 is a beloved verse prayed by many. It’s a mandate from our loving Father to, “Be still and know that I am God.” It can also be a beautiful prayer to remind us to slow down and move at the pace of grace. Take a moment …
Our Lord modeled what it means to receive regular times of rest (Sabbath) to be refreshed, rejuvenated, restored, and refilled. If I don’t schedule “Sabbath Moments” throughout a given day, week, month, or year, it won’t hap…
Praying John's prayer for Gaius over you today. If you read this, you have been prayed for that you may prosper (come to good success) in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers, Mind-Body-Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen!
When you get good news, you have to share it. That’s what most social media is all about. Sunsets pics, an amazing meal, fitness gains, engagements and anniversaries. We love to display the good things that are happening in our lives. It&rsqu…
Did you know God has surrounded you with his favor shield? You are wrapped up in his delight, acceptance, and good will. You can boldly declare, “God’s got this, better yet, God’s got me. I am called, loved, and kept by his shield…
There are passages that leap off the page with clarity and promise. They spark hope and inspire us in the tough moments. Today’s encouragement: Trust the Lord more than you trust yourself. Acknowledge Him in everything. He will clear the road…
Many scriptures are directive in nature. They instruct us on what to do and how to live. This verse also reveals your identity: You are chosen. You are holy. You are loved. As you engage your day, take these three words and declare them, out loud, …
This is your TGiM reminder: You are Called. You are Loved. You are Kept. Purpose. Provision. Protection. Whatever you are going through and wherever you find yourself, God’s got this, better yet, God’s got you!
This is love and life. It's not that complicated. Lean in, receive His life, and engage your world with His mercy and grace flowing in and through you.
Without fault and with great joy in His presence. It doesn’t get much better than this. Jesus is the one who keeps us from stumbling and He presents us to the Father. It sounds like Jesus is the one doing the heavy lifting. Rest in this scrip…
Words come cheap in a culture that lives behind a blazing keyboard, cranking out words at the speed of thought. I enjoy reading classic authors as they were meticulous and careful with their words. Each word carried meaning and weight. Today, as y…
This truth has been so profound and powerful, I decided to have it inked on my right arm. It’s a daily reminder of God’s goodness, Jesus’ love, and the Holy Spirit’s power to set us free. You may not need to get a tat, but …
You have been given a divine invitation, a “calling,” to live a purposeful life that honors God and advances His kingdom. When the scriptures charge us to “live a life worthy of the calling,” we know that God’s Holy Sp…
This is a reminder, the Holy Spirit is not weird, people are weird. The people who are weird with the Holy Spirit were weird before they had the Holy Spirit. Don’t let other’s over the top expressions inoculate you to the very thing you…
There should be a glow that radiates out from us as we go about our daily lives. We radiate His presence as He fills our leaky buckets. Never settle for good theology at the expense of a genuine encounter with the person of the Holy Spirit. Theolog…
