“I know everything about you, Dixie.  I know what you have need of.  Sometimes there is a battle going on over you that you sense but cannot see.  You are a danger to your enemy.  You are strong in me and he doesn’t like it.  My warriors are very busy on your behalf.  Always remember, I Am never too late.  My timing is always perfect, even if you can’t see why you had to wait.  I love you.”  ♥ Jesus I... Read more

(The following was originally published at CareyGreen.com) In Matthew 5:8, Jesus tells us: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” What does it mean to be “pure in heart” and how does it relate to doing business as a Christian? I think that what Jesus is getting at here is a very core principle – not just for business people, but for life. You see, the Bible also tells us that our hearts are deceitful and desperately... Read more

To purchase the entire DVD set of the Summit Lecture Series, visit summit.org. So, we’re talking about Mormonism… how to spot a cult. But first, keep in mind what Paul wrote in his letter to the church in Colossae: See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. (Colossians 2:8) Throughout Scripture, we find several “warning passages” that tell... Read more

ImWaiting has the opportunity to speak to many parent groups throughout the county.  We teach effective communication, healthy relationships, decision-making, STD education, etc, with the intent to equip parents with knowledge to start and continue conversations with their kids regarding risk behaviors and the consequences. Recently, we were advised to tell parents that they needed to teach their kids how to use condoms. In effect, that was a part of good parenting.  We declined.  When pressed we explained why. Whether... Read more

I have a college degree in Communications. And, one of the unchanging facts in communicating with people is that emotion cannot be accurately conveyed through textual (versus verbal) interaction. Then came emoticons. Emoticons are important in today’s text messaging society. Now, emotions can be effectively communicated, such as: I hope you lose all your money and end up in a cardboard box =) See how the smiley face softens the blow of the preceding comment? Unfortunately for me, the... Read more

In the Roman Empire, a person who was given the power to speak on behalf of the Emperor was called Apostolos, or Apostle, meaning “sent one”. Likewise, an apostle of Jesus Christ was given the authority to speak the very words of God. To disobey the word of an apostle was to disobey God. And that’s still true today. When we read the New Testament, we are reading the words of the Apostles as given by God, just as we... Read more

I’m over 45 and I scare your children. Does my age disqualify me from speaking up about politics and culture? Do I really need to ‘knock it off!’? Andy Stanley says so. I’m Joel Fieri, and welcome to “The Big Picture’ podcast, where we seek to begin and hopefully sustain a conversation about current trends, ideas and issues in the Church and greater society. Pastor Andy Stanley has gone viral lately with a couple Internet videos, one regarding political... Read more

It’s universally called “The Parable of the Good Samaritan.” Universally, that is, except where Jesus is concerned. As you will hear in this PODCAST, if Luke 10:33 in the NLT is any indication, Jesus would have most likely entitled this, “The Parable of the Despised Samaritan.” A title which goes to the heart of this story, really. Something that I need for you to feel as you listen, and to feel it deeply. For if not, this parable completely loses its punch. Forget... Read more

(The following was originally published at CareyGreen.com) The business world, and life in general, can fill us with all kinds of insecurities and doubt. The LORD has better plans for His people. This is a “from the heart” video as I took off to visit some good friends, just God’s voice to me one morning as I prepared for a day of travel. What hit me most was that God has done so much for us, and has done so much... Read more

God longs for you to know that He is more than enough in your troubled times.   He desires you to rest and fully embrace that where you are is exactly where God plans for you to be. Even in situations like you have never faced before. I was frozen in time it seemed–for the last three months of 2015.   But then I could feel it rising up within me again and now I think I can verbalize somewhat of what... Read more
