The King is Summoning His Bride, His Church…The Bridegroom is Returning In the days of Esther, when all looked lost, God performed a miracle for His people through Mordecai, Esther, and a people who fasted and prayed. Today, Purim celebrates God’s goodness, His deliverance, and His covenant faithfulness. Yet before the celebration came a crisis, […]
The phrase “carnal Christian” has become strangely acceptable in modern Christian vocabulary. In my estimation, it is an oxymoron. Scripture does not present carnality as a category to be managed, tolerated, or excused, but as a condition to be crucified. What Does “Carnal” Mean? The word carnal comes from the Latin caro, meaning flesh. Biblically, […]
Many today face an increasing tension: how to engage a shifting culture with conviction without losing compassion, and how to show kindness without surrendering truth. In many circles, grace is celebrated while consequences are ignored, and love is emphasized while holiness is quietly sidelined. Grace does not eliminate truth, and kindness does not cancel consequences. […]
When God called the Israelites out of Egypt, it was more than a physical journey—it was the beginning of a personal and corporate revival. God gave them a promise: a land flowing with milk and honey. That promise was a picture of rest, victory, and purpose—a destination that required faith, obedience, and unwavering trust in […]
“I’m not impressed.” That statement may sound harsh in a generation obsessed with image, platform, applause, and visibility, even within the Church. But it is not born out of cynicism. It is born out of conviction. After more than four decades of walking with God and serving in ministry, I find myself less and less […]
God’s grace is amazing, abounding, powerful, and freely given through the Sacrifice and High Cost of Love on Calvary! Yet, grace misunderstood, misused, or reduced can lose its impact, potency, and potential in our lives. Our salvation is not determined by the kindness others show us, but by our personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. Human […]
(See prayer points and primer suggestions at bottom of the page) We are living in sobering and significant times. The pace of change is accelerating, pressures are mounting, and both national and global challenges loom on the horizon. Yet history reminds us that moments of shaking are also moments of opportunity when God calls His […]
Many years ago, in the mid-1990s, I taught a series of messages titled Back to Basics. That teaching was not born out of trend analysis or leadership theory, but out of an entire month spent fasting and praying. For that season, I did not go into the office. I largely remained inside my home, setting […]
Contentment is not passive resignation. It is an anchored soul settled in God’s sovereignty while remaining obedient to His assignment. Paul said, “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances” (Philippians 4:11). Notice this: Contentment is learned. It is forged in hidden places, developed through long obedience, and cultivated by surrendered trust. Contentment does […]
This past Saturday night, I had a recurring dream. I found myself preparing to speak before a large crowd. Each time I tried to refer back to my notes, I couldn’t focus on them. Instead, one word kept repeating in my mind: “reboot… reboot… reboot.” When I woke, I began reflecting on what that word […]
