The world often asks itself, “Why are we here?” Some of us already have our answer. Let a man regard us in this manner, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. In this case, moreover, it is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy. But to me it is a […]
I spent many years in sales and marketing roles for the high-tech industry before transitioning to full-time ministry. During that time, my sales teams were tasked with educating potential customers of the value of our solutions, whatever they were at the time. Over time, we developed a sense of feel for the likelihood of a

You might be saying to yourself already, “There’s no negative side to grace!…what’s this guy talking about?” Give me a moment to explain myself…geesh! 🙂 Grace teaches us amazing things…things we’d never be able to understand otherwise. In fact, it’s more precise to say that we lack every capability of understanding the things of God in the absence of

One of the most destructive forces in a human’s life is when a person believes they have options. If every good thing is from God (James 1:17) then there’s really only one good option, God’s will.

The most self-absorbed “person” I’ve ever known is my own flesh. If we’re being totally honest, we can all make the exact same proclamation without hesitation…not about me – LOL – about ourselves (nice try). I mean, whom do we know better than ourselves? Which “self”, the old or the new, have we spent more time with

Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless you repent,

I think one of the great blessings about living during the Exodus generation would’ve been to witness the building of the Tabernacle. From the gold overlaid table of showbread, to the magnificent blue, scarlet, and purple linen curtains and veil, to the incredibly fashioned bronze altar, and so on, this Tabernacle was truly grand. We

Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him, they would fall down before Him and shout, “You are the Son of God!” — Mark 3:11 I’ve met Christians who scratch their heads when the topic of demons comes up. Some of them don’t even believe they are real. I can understand such things for new believers or
