And now it’s time to talk about dogs. I venture into a topic that I am hesitant to write about in a formal setting. I’m going to share an example of God-given dreams. Dreams are not only written throughout the stories of the Bible, but they are also promised for the Pentecostal renewal (Joel 2.28; Acts 2.17). In my family I am a 3rd generation Pentecostal. I have a rich heritage of divine interventions from the miraculous to dreams to... Read more
“Maybe you went through a breakup. You had a divorce. Who told you that you’ll never be happy again? Who told you that that disappointment has ruined your future, that you’ll never meet anyone? The enemy wouldn’t be telling you that if he didn’t know it was going to happen. That’s why he’s trying to deceive you into living negative, doubting, thinking you’ve missed your chance. Tune that out. God has beauty for the ashes. The right person, a divine... Read more

Shalom includes the ideas of wellness and wholeness, not just of individuals, but also of the community. Shalom is used as a... Read more
This is a hard saying of Christ and a radical call to discipleship. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. Matthew 19.29, NRSV Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake... Read more
Esther is a Biblical character who is very interesting. One thing that makes the book of Esther unique is that God is not mentioned anywhere in the book. This is the only book of the Bible where God is not mentioned. This is just a side note for those who would love to read an engaging story about Providence. What about the man in Esther’s life? We read his backstory in chapter 1. King Ahasuerus is not just a king.... Read more
The old day is ending. Renewal has come. This list of Scripture was birthed out of a couple days of prayer. Every once in awhile songs will come to me like I suppose they would to a D.J. I’ve made many lists on Spotify. I’ve been listening to this one a lot lately CLICK At times it’s the same way with Scripture.
