Striving to Attain = Striving to Maintain
I’m beginning to learn certain things when it comes to succeeding in what I do… First of all, I’ve come to a personal revelation of what true “kingdom success” is. Success, in its simplest form, is not self-promoting or aggrandizing – actually, it’s the total opposite. It’s the ability or stage in your life when…
Read More...Passion + Problems = Purpose
I was reading blog stats of the past couple of years and realized that this blog post received the most hits and comments. With that in mind, I figured I’ll go back to come “old school” and repost it again. For all my new subscribers (and old ones) let me know your thoughts on it… …
Read More...NYC Bound…
I’m spending five days in New York City with two women. I know, that’s a strange opening sentence for a blog. The two women are my wife and daughter. We are about to board a plane to the Big Apple to see Calysta Blaise perform in her showcase dances. At the end of the week we…
Read More...The Habit of Finishing
It is not how you begin but it is how you end. The ability to finish is the key to proper transitions in life. God will never trust a person in a higher level of living if that person has not been faithful in completing his objectives in the prior level. Understanding the value of finishing…
Read More...Getting Money v/s Money Cometh
I remember a popular confession spoken by certain church types that said “Money Cometh.” I also remember confessing it over my life as well. And although there are people who have a way of attracting money, those people had to first understand how to go after it. I believe that before you can ever…
Read More...THE AGENTS ARE GATHERING AGAIN
This Sunday is our last part of the AGENTS OF CHANGE message series. I must admit, this has been one of the most inspirational messages series I have ever preached. I’ve had many people approach me to thank me for sharing the Word of the Lord. They’ve mentioned, in many ways, how God has impacted their…
Read More...The Discipline of Discipleship
Our ultimate call and purpose boils down to the making of disciples. Everything we “do” and all of what we “become,” when broken down to its lowest common denominator, should be about the making of disciples. Regardless of your career, cultural background or education, the fruit of your life has to be about the “who”…
Read More...NEVER QUIT
He who overcomes will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out his name from the book of life, but will acknowledge his name before my Father and his angels. (Revelation 3:5) This scripture has various schools of thought concerning its theology (Soteriology). Many argue whether we can lose our salvation or…
Read More...HOW TO KEEP WINNING
2 Corinthians 2:14 …but thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. It is in your design and make-up to win. God, your designer and maker, fashioned you to overcome and win at all times. That is what…
Read More...The Secret to God’s Possibilities
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27) Although this is a universal truth concerning the power of God working in our temporal impossibilities, we tend to forget its context. We like to quote this verse whenever we believe God…
