Plowing Prayer and Plowing Preaching
There is a difference between speaking Truth and preparing people to receive Truth. We have been called to do both, and Jesus has a strategy for both. Beware the simplistic perception that all we are called to do is “faithfully” communicate Truth. Of course, we must be faithful to preach even if no one listens, […]
The “Controlling Leader” Syndrome
The “controlling leader” labels may be valid for many leaders who hold people in bondage to their own agendas. Millions of believers are held captive by controlling leaders. Such a condition if foreign to the kingdom – God is never a controlling leader. He is a Father, and the kingdom is a spiritual family. The […]
Feed Passion, Test Submission

Feeding passion does not produce rebellion or pride.

Reports are generated for various reasons because the turn of the year is a marker. So, leaders should embrace this opportunity to analyze the available data. Every goal must be measurable to have real meaning. […]
People and Process: Ecclesia
“People and Process” principles are important to Jesus. In the Body or Ecclesia, what we have come to call “church,” He has provided leadership as a means of preparing and positioning people to produce, do the “work” of ministry. This leadership, when properly functioning, prepares and positions people to work out the processes that produce […]
Understanding Dreams: Simple Conclusions
Dreams from God are awesome! The way He reveals things in dreams often involves code. Often, the dream produces intense feelings and thoughts. However, dreams are often very simple in their messages, and the tendency to complicate them by making the details “walk on all fours” can put God dreams out of reach. Most of […]
