As I type these words, I am sitting on my bed enjoying the coziness and the comfort that it so kindly offers me. It’s just a simple, quaint bed. It serves its purpose, and well, but it is certainly nothing out of the ordinary for most of the year. At Christmastime, however, it is also…
I want to say loud and proud that I am an advocate for girl power. I am for the church empowering women, because I know the Holy Spirit has been doing so for thousands of years. This past weekend, I had the delightful privilege of going with my wife, kids and grandkids to see Frozen 2.…
While flying today, I heard someone wish another passenger a merry Christmas for the first time this year, and it lit up my spirit like the tree at Rockefeller Center. Two thousand years have passed since the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and Christmas is still—and always will be—the season of…
Kanye West, Beth Moore, John MacArthur, President Donald Trump and Adam Schiff—what do all of these people have in common? Certainly controversy—lots and lots of controversy. But what else? They all have purpose that should be revealed in their life story. Regardless of the circumstances and choices that have landed them in the news and…

It is glaringly obvious to me that we need everyone working in this harvest—that is, every man and every woman. The Scriptures make it very clear in the book of Acts, chapter 2, that God…
Turbulence in the atmosphere. Winds of unrest and instability. Air quality poor. Vision limited. Prophetic word: “Holy Spirit rain is falling in limited locations but is going to expand and sweep throughout our nation. Our God is gracious and generous with His abundant rain.” When you study the personality of prophets, they speak of judgment…
Ministries are defined less by those who are for you than by how you handle the challenges that come against you.
