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 […]

Every leader wants to finish well. Yet, sometimes the challenges and discouragements of life can feel overwhelming. We get tired, distracted, and, without realizing it, settle for less than God’s best. Whether you are just beginning your ministry journey or you’ve been serving for decades and feel weary, ineffective, or ready to quit—it may be […]

Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem when ten lepers cried out to Him for mercy. He didn’t touch them or lay hands on them. He simply said: “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were healed. But only one came back to thank Him. A Samaritan. A foreigner. An outsider. […]

We live in a world saturated with voices—commentators, influencers, theorists, and self-proclaimed experts.

During the last few weeks of 2022 and coming into the new year, I heard those three words repeatedly in my spirit as I pushed through a season of travail over the complicity of sin in our nation, even by leaders in the Church. I believe the Lord was telling me: 1. […]

Even in old age, they will still produce fruit… Sarah bore Isaac when she was 90 years old! Moses led the Israelites out of bondage when he was 80. God cared for them, carried them, and used them! If you are nearing or are already in your golden years, don’t despair. You have much to […]

I originally wrote and published this article prior to Purim 2021. I believe it is a message that resonates even more today. Purim 2022 began at sunset, March 16, and ended at sundown on Thursday, March 17. Synagogues and homes around the world will have read the entire book of Esther for Purim to celebrate […]
