In our discussion of David, we learned that God will give you a weapon equal to your passion. We discussed how God gave the Philistines a giant so they would forge a giant’s sword and the giant could serve as God’s delivery system to get David a weapon as big as his passion. God’s delivery […]

Presupoose: “to be based on the idea that something is true or will happen; to assume beforehand.” Philosophically, we base what we think upon certain presuppositions. A set of presuppositions usually underlies a person’s worldview and mindset.

“Not what you think,” might be the first answer to this question. What you see now or see as dominant now might not be what dominates the kingdom landscape in next seven years. What we celebrate most, the most visible, or what appears to be the latest trend might not be the best predictor of […]

Given the amazing level of technology available to modern man, leaders should be producing more coorespondence and written revelation. The opportunity to function in this way could hardly be avoided without conscious substitution of other priorities or a failure to recognize this discipline as a priority of leaders.

Paul and Barnabas Barnabas and Paul walked together because Barnabas went and got Paul when no one else had a level of trust in Paul’s salvation experience. They walked together for years, it seems, and when they ministered together as representatives of the Jerusalem Ecclesia and council of apostolic leaders, they were on the same […]

Pioneering after Pentecost Many believers get a message of community from the conditions and behaviors they observe in the Early Church after Pentecost. That is not the message that dominates the landscape of the Ecclesia. The message that dominates the landscape screams pioneering. For example, the response of giving that is interpreted as communal is […]

Jesus is our Pioneer. The NIV uses this term to translate Hebrews 12:2 with reference to running the race set before us. That is, to finishing the course that He designed and defined by His own pursuit of purpose. “Looking to Jesus, the Pioneer.” Pioneering isn’t something that fades into the setting sun as bygone […]
