  • No thanks, I would rather yell

    Yelling is cathartic. Yelling makes me sound serious. Yelling helps me insult someone I’ve really wanted to insult all along but now I have a good excuse.

  • Too much noise

    ALL things worthy of attention, but we are not giving them attention. We are just yelling.

  • Praying down strongholds like ISIS

    This is a time I am so glad to be anchored in the Scriptures: We give thanks to you, God. Yes, we give thanks!     Your name is near. Your marvelous deeds are declared. God says, “When I decide the time is right,     I will establish justice just so.     The earth and all its inhabitants will melt,     but I will keep…

  • Living transformed lives

    Today’s reading for MULTIPLY discipleship is Romans 12. This passage fits perfectly following a very powerful day at our church. We had a great missions service in the morning with a packed out house. It’s Missions Emphasis, so it’s always exciting to hear what God is doing in the toughest places of the world. We had a Prayer and Praise…

  • What if…

    What if we took to heart and then to our mouths the understanding that Jesus said, “ASK” and he meant it? What if we really practiced moving mountains? What if we really believed?

  • 6 minute prayer challenge

    In the short bursts of opportunity, I can’t look at them as inconvenient times any more. I need to see them as invitations in the Spirit to rise to a challenge.

  • Little faith and breakthrough prayer

    19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faithas small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matt. 17:19-20)…

  • The discipline of waiting

    Delay, with its apparent destruction of all hope, can be a deep discipline to the soul that would serve the Lord Jesus. We live in a restless, inpatient day. We have little time for preparation and less for worship. We feel we must be active, energetic, enthusiastic and humanly effective; and we cannot understand why inactivity, weariness, weakness and seeming…

  • Prayer for the day

    Where there is charity and wisdom is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility there is neither anger nor worry. Where there is poverty and joy there is neither cupidity nor avarice. Where there is quiet and meditation there is neither solicitude nor dissipation. Where there is the fear of the Lord to guard the enemy cannot…
