Pondering how God prepares leaders for their next levels, I was awakened by a night vision in which I saw David’s arm, extended high and about to bring down Goliath’s sword in order to cut off the giant’s head. I was surprised by the thought that God doesn’t train giant-killers by having them face giants. […]

Information can bring knowledge. Knowledge can be the basis for understanding. Understanding can assemble wisdom. The beginning point of wisdom is communication. “God Who spoke in different ways and times throughout history has spoken in these last days through His Son.” The Word became flesh. God communicated in and through Jesus in new, unique, and […]

In the beginning, God created heavens and earth. From the emptiness and darkness, God began a process of differentiation between darkness and light, earth and sea, water above and below the atmosphere, living and non-living, birds, fish, animals, and between all things and man. Then, God made a higher differentiation in man who was created […]

To be a leader, you must learn to be led. Following is designed to produce personal leadership in you. ”Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by experiencing His pathos.” Jesus says, “Follow Me” to His disciples because you must follow in order to be discipled. At some levels, this “following” maybe reading […]

The term used in Scripture for “preaching, announcing, proclaiming good news or Gospel” was appropriated as a more technical term for the preaching of the Gospel. Within that technical use is the thought of representing the Message as well as preaching it. As a follow up to how David was prepared to face giants, I […]

Humanism promotes potential. Kingdom promotes purpose. Humanism deifies determination. Kingdom disciples destiny. Immediately you begin to apply grace like gravy on mashed tators upon personal potential, you are misappropriating spiritual provision. God is not investing grace into your life so you can be whatever you want to be. Grace is making you the person God […]

Jesus’ command for His kingdom representatives: “Go and wherever you go, disciple the cultures.” While there are other words for “people” and “political” that identify people-groups and nations, the term Jesus used was more about the culture that binds people together and identifies them by their customs and manner of living. I would propose that […]

The Flip Side of Abuse During the several decades I have observed church-anity and ecclesia, I have seen as much abuse of leaders as I have abuse by leaders. I have observed some really strange abuse by leaders, for sure, even to the point of leaders drawing blood on a person’s cheek, grasping both cheeks […]

The first commandment with a promise: “honor.” Since I want all God has promised, I need to be very familiar with the concept of honor! His very first covenant promise comes to me through honor, honoring the strategy and design of God for my life and God’s design for kingdom culture. When God shared with […]
