I have a placard on the wall at my desk that says “Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm”. It takes extraordinary leaders in the storm tossed waters we currently find ourselves in. But that is why you are in the position you are in. “For such a time as this!” The [...]

Offense or Defense?   The other day as I was thinking on the events being played out around us, the chaos, the violence, questioning what is truth and what is distorted, feeling like the enemy is really attacking some areas, I felt the Holy Spirit say this: Remember, the Kingdom of God is always on [...]

Yes, it makes a difference! Sometimes we fall into the trap of seemingly insignificance. My thoughts really don’t count, my opinion does carry any weight, my passion really isn’t important in the long range scheme of things. Nothing can be further from the truth. Your thoughts do count, your opinion carries a lot of weight, [...]

Time! We all have an unlimited supply as long as the Lord gives us breath. There is no such thing as “I didn’t have the time to……” You had the time. In fact you have 24 hours new and fresh coming at you tomorrow. So the issue isn’t that you didn’t or don’t have the [...]

Change! It means things will be different. How well we have experienced that in the last 2 months. One of the dynamics of change, and sometimes the hardest aspect of it, is that I need to let go of what was. While change does not mean a complete letting go of all that was, the [...]

Change! With us it has been a consistent commodity in our ongoing development and strategy to reach nations. Many times I hear the phrase, the only thing constant is change!   To stay relevant to a society that is changing, you have to be changing with it. Not the truth of the message but the [...]
