If we do not properly define “ekklesia,” we may be tearing down what Jesus is building. We may also allow the gate of hell to stand against our substitute. In the US, a greater movement is in full swing for Christians to follow Jesus but not be part of church. I fully identify with the […]

Moses Song includes this phrase: “Ask your father and he will show and your elders and they will tell you.” [Deuteronomy 32:7] Why should we ask about history from previous generations? 1. Because we need to know that some things never change. God has established some things that remain in place, fundamental to His purposes […]

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.

At some levels, this “following” maybe reading […]

Our trust in God must be complete for us to experience completeness. A pathway of progressive perplexity pushes us toward profounder surrender. Expanded revelation opens our lives to more mystery; the more we learn, the more we realize we don’t much. The more answers we receive, the more questions we have because we have enough […]

Jesus said little-sized faith could move mountains into the sea. He said that little-sized faith should speak to that mountain and tell that mountain what to do and the mountain would obey the command of little-sized faith. The “mountain” would present impossibilities. The little-sized faith would represent obedience to assignment, moving forward with a tenacity […]

“Revival” is an expansive term, and this broadness opens to door to misunderstanding when used to describe moves of God. Many times, I’ve heard leaders use the term “revival” in contradictory ways, or heard them say something about “our definition of revival” or “our kind of revival” or “false revival.” Not really sure how any […]

The words of Jesus may be familiar to us: “Anyone who hears My words and practices them is like a man who built his house on rock. Anyone who hears My words but does not practice them is like a man who built his house on sand.” What we may miss the reality that once […]
