It is always easy to find things that are wrong and that we don’t agree with. It is an altogether difficult thing to assess ourselves and see just where we fit in the standards we have expected others to meet. Such is the case for a current shift taking place in the church and ultimately […]

The Power of Community
January 22nd, 2010 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives
There is something in each of that longs for connection. It is so strong that we will even resort to immoral and unrighteous ways to satisfy the need. Even without a knowledge of God we will gravitate towards those with a similar worldview as ours and who affirm us for who we are.

To finish the course of your ministry with […]

A Turning And A Re-turning
May 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives
Yesterday, in our corporate worship we received a word that emphasized “turning” and “returning.” The current extreme changes taking place in the American socio-political-economic landscape is causing great anxiety to arise in many. A compounding sense of helplessness and frustration can be heard everywhere including the Church. Thankfully, God is not caught off guard and […]

Perspectives on Poverty

Twelve years of ministry in 14 different countries has given me the opportunity to be with many people groups in a variety of situations and contexts. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. I have witnessed miracles, deliverances, and powerful moves of God. However, the one thing that has always perplexed me […]

Insights on Poverty
May 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives, Global Movement
Over the past year or so, I have given a lot of time and prayer to the study of poverty. Working in impoverished, third-world nations has given me a perspective that comes from hands-on, close-up experiences. At times, it has gripped me emotionally and driven me to the point of great frustration and even anger. […]

Post-Christian America
March 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives
There is now overriding proof that America has lapsed into the category of a “post-Christian” nation. The basic principles that formed the foundation of our country have been abandoned for humanistic, academic, and socialistic philosophies.

The Glory of Nations
January 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives, Global Movement
While I was in Haiti this week I went up on the roof of a two-story building to look out over the city and pray. I was overwhelmed with the realization that there is a “glory” in every nation that God desires to reveal through the people in that place. Regardless of what things look like […]
In Defense of the Church that Jesus is Building (part 2)
July 17th, 2008 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives, Kingdom Culture
The church that Jesus is building does not need to rely on slick human marketing techniques in order to grow. It is a living, breathing, loving, ever-expanding part of His kingdom that relies soley upon His Spirit for life, vitality, leadership, and direction.

Pathways of Possibility
June 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Apostolic Perspectives
I have been noticing a principle in motion during times of anointed apostolic and prophetic communication. When preaching, teaching, etc. in sync with the Holy Spirit many times things are said that are not planned or noted to be conveyed at that particular time. Words spoken under this unction create “pathways of possibility.” They also […]
