The mature alone can transform at the highest levels necessary to produce kingdom leadership at an international and national level, by submitting to a team higher than their own leadership, composed of very diverse dispositions and prepared perspectives. The mature kingdom leader can never measure his or her maturity in leadership by their personal maturity, […]

Paul’s positive promise for those who produce good without losing passion often gains attention only from the negative aspect, not the positive. We are more likely to hear, “God isn’t mocked,” because people are going to reap what they’ve sown to flesh than the emphasis on reaping what will remain alive forever. The apostle’s discussion […]

We don’t know from whence it comes or to where it blows, but we see it manifest at the point of confrontation. There is fire in God’s breath, but we only see it when it meets with the breath of hell. We assume that God will do this while we watch, but we are wrong. […]

Problem solving is a leadership dynamic. The wisdom to govern was the request of Solomon, for example, because he needed to make decisions and solve problems if he was to be king. Obviously, we are not kings, but we do represent the King as kingdom leaders. As a kingdom leader, you deal with false accusations […]

The modern approach to Scripture starts with what we want and fits Scripture to it so that God appears to say what we are doing pleases Him. One of the best examples of this dysfunction comes from the often quoted “equipping the saints.” Kingdom Leadership Dynamics for the Ecclesia Paul opens our eyes to God’s […]

If you’ve stopped judging, get at it again. If you never judged, get started. If you are judging some, please increase judging now! If you have been or just starting judging, get better and better at it! The Meaning of Words Hearing differing discussions of criticism, judgment, and optimism, we first consider the meaning of […]

To find truly selfless people is rare. “Claiming the right to one’s self” enters near the top of the list of spiritual complications, and the kingdom needs people pumping the blood of a servant’s heart. Selfishness and servant leadership travel parallel pathways. The crossover from “me” to “others” punches a hole through solid rock. Jesus spent […]

Rediscovering the lost art of discipling will reset kingdom leadership in remarkable and powerful ways! Many assume the term “disciple” means “follower.” It does not. Jesus did call people to follow Him so they could be discipled, because a person cannot be discipled when they do not follow. Many assume the term “disciple” means “student.” […]

“I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy.” (Isaiah 54:16) “The following men joined David at Ziklag while he was hiding from Saul son of Kish. They were among the warriors who fought beside David in battle. […]

Leaders influence people toward behaviors consistent with their destinies. Hebrews 10:25 says, “Intentionally motivate one another to love and good behaviors.” The sense of the word “stimulate” would include poking someone with a sharp stick in a way that stirs them to move in a certain direction. In this metaphoric sense, the “stimulation” comes by […]
