30 Day Prayer Challenge for Renewing the Mind

Not one of us has arrived at this stage of life without somehow being negatively impacted by something. Maybe a playground bully or snobbish “Nellie Oleson” in our neighborhood who constantly reminded us that we were lower class. Maybe it was our dad, for whom nothing would ever be good enough and we’d never amount [...]

How Does the Church Fight Her Battles? Episode 8

9 months ago, our whole world was turned on its head. We were told “just until we flatten the curve”, and when the curve flattened and not much changed, we were told “we need to prepare for a 2nd wave”. I am going to assume that the world going into a 2nd lockdown in less [...]

Could it be that we lack a certain supernatural power in our personal lives and corporately because we do not practice the spiritual discipline of fasting? How and why should we fast, and what is it about fasting that infuses power in our prayer? Throughout the [...]

30 Day Prayer Challenge for Christmas

Without Christ’s birth there would be no death – no remission of sins, no divine pardon, no justification…. No promise of eternity with God in heaven. No hope in this life at all.

Prayer Journal Prompts for Christmas

This season is packed with so many activities that so often we get to Christmas Day before we even have a chance to stop and reflect on what it means to us. We sing the carols but rarely pause to consider their significance. We miss the 3rd, 4th, and 5th verses that carry so much [...]

Its Time to Shatter Christian Idols

When I talk about Christian idols, I’m not talking about a Buddha statue sitting on a fireplace mantle of a Christian home. I’m not talking about Christians who have some sort of feng shui going on, that dream catcher on a bedroom wall, or the prayer rug pointing east; thinking they can mingle the God [...]
