Telescopes v/s Microscopes
Telescopes are more popular than microscopes. We’re fascinated with them. Telescopes have a grandiose reputation. They display the wonders of the universe and give us front row seats to things we can’t touch with our hands or see with our eyes. They bring the far close; and allow us a glimpse of our future. The truth is…
Read MoreWhere is Your Trust Tied?
I’ve been a student of adversity for some time now. I’ve observed how people are either overcome by adversity or overwhelmed by it. I’ve studied both Christians and agnostics in how they deal with adversity, hardship and difficulty – whether it’s a loss of a loved one, persecution or sickness. I believe I’ve come up…

I have one goal this year. I’m praying through it. I’m meditating on it. I’m planning for it. I’m acting on it. Here is it: To connect people to their purpose through inspiration, motivation, education and activation. In two weeks, we’ll be finishing the first quarter of 2014.

Read MoreLooking for Your Purpose?
Connecting people to their God-given purpose is, in my opinion, the primary responsibility of every leader in ministry. And when I say leader, I mean pastor, teacher, evangelist, apostle, prophet and any type of leadership role that exist in church today. Within this responsibility is every form of discipleship. And the goal of discipleship is…

What if God did for you as He did for King Solomon? He appeared to Solomon, in his dream, and basically granted him a wish! (1 Kings 3:5). Seriously, what would you do? What would you ask for? We all want to think we would do the same as Solomon. To make you feel better,…

All right, here’s the deal with God’s purpose for our lives in a very small nutshell… God created the earth for humanity, who in turn, was created in His image with freewill to have dominion over the earth. Humanity, in order to have freewill, needed a tempter. The tempter tempted humanity and humanity failed. Humanity…

What are you currently doing to activate your purpose? If there’s a purpose for your existence, what are you doing right now to engage in that purpose? From the examples given by Ezekiel and Jeremiah, God is always looking for a man or a woman who steps into the place where God has called them. He’s…

What a way to kick off 2014! Last Sunday began our Activate Purpose Campaign. WOW! I’m so blown away from the response we had! I believe Impact Church is poised to see great multiplication and internal maturity. We now begin a journey of discovery. We have all the tools in place to see people walk…
Read MoreCondition vs Position
The greatest hindrance to living a life of God-given purpose is living life in a man-centered way. Living is your greatest obstacle in life…better yet, how you live it. Man-centered living is selfish; it’s survival minded. Its priority is to keep its conditions balanced with “happiness” at the expense of our relationship with God. Here’s…
