We live in a generation that wants to see the results of our work. The way of the Kingdom does not always bring forth immediate fruit, but will produce fruit that remains. We must trust that our lives will be fruitful by seeking first the Kingdom and God’s nature. The fruit of our lives may be visible only to those who live after us. What is important is how well we love. God makes love fruitful, whether we see that... Read more

“When the king came in, he saw one without a wedding garment. He said, ‘friend, how did you happen to come without a wedding garment?’ He was speechless. So the king commanded, ‘Bind him and cast him into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few are chosen.'”  Matt 22:11-14 To understand the path of wisdom you first need to grasp the characteristics of a fool. Solomon approached his proverbs in... Read more

“He gathered up His courage and steeled Himself for the journey…” Luke 9:51, The Message There are some things that require little effort, and yield small results. Many people content themselves to spend their days in just such trivial pursuit. Will you settle for being one of them? F. W. Boreham wrote, “There is no intellectual stimulant so intoxicating as the formation of a noble purpose, the conception of a sudden resolve, the making of a great decision.” courageFriends, we are... Read more

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31        I was recently speaking to a group about embracing destiny and pointed out that we must first align our purpose with God’s purpose for us. “Our reason to exist is to glorify God,” I said.  A young lady was incredulous and asked, “Why should we live for another’s glory when we have so much in us that needs to be expressed?” It... Read more

Are you trapped in a prison of despair, doubt or anxiety? Learn to release the power of praise. The apostle Paul’s letter to the Philippians is one of the Bible’s most unique books. Some scholars call it “the epistle of joy” because the word “joy” or “rejoice” appear in it 16 times. Yet what is amazing is that this letter about Christian joy was written from a prison cell! While Paul was under the watchful eye of Roman guards, bound... Read more

This is taken from Frank’s blog. to comment and exchange with him on this topic or others, please see link below article….  The subject before the house today is evangelism. Please read the entire post else you’ll very likely misunderstand the whole discussion. With few exceptions, every traditional church I’ve ever been a part of emphasized evangelism to be God’s grand goal. And every believer was divinely obligated to share the gospel with lost souls. As I’ve pointed out elsewhere,... Read more

We are again experiencing the disappointment and even disillusionment that comes when perceived servants of God fail. This is a dangerous time for us. How will we respond? Will we privately rejoice because we saw flaws and cautions that others did not see? Do we discount those who were healed, who came to faith or who experienced the move of God? Are we to assume that everything was a farce? Was there never any real hunger for God? Was it... Read more

We must regard people less in light of what they do, and more in the light of who they are. We must also look at them for what they may become rather than where they currently are in their journey. Look at them the way God looks at them, with tremendous potential in Him to manifest themselves one day as sons and daughters of God. God is omnipotent and we can believe for His potential to radically change their lives. Read more
