GOD CLUES
We all have a tendency to limit God. And the stronghold of these limits is located in the personal arena of our faith. It’s easier to believe God for miracles when “who” or “what” we believe God for is dislocated from our personal environment. When there’s no...
Lesson From My Daughter…
I’m convinced. God has a sense of humor and absolutely loves to watch the surprising look on our faces when His promises come to pass in our lives in ways that we had no point of reference. And I guess that is what our “faith walk” is supposed to be like. We have a...
Just How Willing Are You?
1 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” 3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”...

This Weekend – KAIROS EVENT!
I believe in "Kairos" events! "Kairos" events specific moments in time when God unfolds and reveals His purpose. Kairos is a Greek word which translates to an opportune time within our time-line. And I believe the next two days are one of those moments for IMPACT...
Relinquishment – Our Friend.
Yesterday, during our Family Night Bible study, I shared some thoughts concerning relinquishment. It's not a popular subject, but quite necessary to say the least. Relinquishment, like most things that are requisite and also agonizing, don’t make the top 100 list of...
