He weaves the good with the bad into an amazing story of victory and significance. Nature’s beauty bears witness to the Creator, but you are the true glory of God. His presence, heart, and power are in you, His glory revealed. Read more

For centuries, astronomers have looked skyward, curiously beholding the stars above them. Over time, scientists steadily improved their vision of outer space by engineering telescopes of ever-increasing sophistication. However, the biggest advance in the ability to peer into the heavens came with the launch of the Hubble Telescope in 1990. No longer bound to the ground, astronomers could now view interstellar space free from atmospheric distortions. For more than 20 years, the Hubble Telescope has orbited the Earth, capturing images... Read more

Injured, Uninformed, and insecure leaders can create an ungodly illusion of authority when there is but one author and authority for your life, God Himself. Leaders that are submitted to God will serve in His authority, and they will love and serve in substance of God rather than manipulating their own agendas in His name. God protects us and leads us through all “Against us” activities and into freedom in Him. Read more

 (Excerpt from the book Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas) Bono: My understanding of the Scriptures has been made simple by the person of Christ. Christ teaches that God is love. What does that mean? What it means for me: a study of the life of Christ. Love here describes itself as a child born in straw poverty, the most vulnerable situation of all, without honor. I don’t let my religious world get too complicated. I just kind of go:... Read more

What all enemies have meant for evil against you, God forges for the good in you. The battles then bring you more strength than the victory itself.

You have embraced the challenges, you continue to fight the good fight of faith, and you have engaged fully in the providence of your God.

Having a dream or vision from God about what He desires for us in our lives with Him is wonderful. What is less wonderful is to continue to dream when God has already confirmed to us what we must do. Remaining in a dream state does not bring accomplishment to godly visions and dreams. When we have heard the direction of where we must go and what we must do, it is a time to neither sit nor stand, but... Read more
