    How many times have you said that you were going to become a better prayer warrior? Have you ever heard someone else say it? Even though many Christians have good intentions we often fail. It seems that one of the most apparent areas of poor performance in the Christian life is the area of ...read more

    some aspects of God’s specific purpose for your life and how He works to fulfill that purpose.

    I wrote in an earlier letter (Purpose Vol. 1, Issue 10) that I wasn’t big on recipes or seven step strategies for spiritual success. Well, I’m not.

    God moves powerfully when His people worship, fast, and pray together, listening for the Spirit’s direction and responding with obedient, unified action.

    Some of the greatest moves of God begin in the most ordinary rooms. A small circle of friends. A whispered hymn. A hunger that words can’t quite describe. Picture it: believers, shoulder to shoulder, hearts steady and still, waiting in worship. No spotlight, no stagecraft—just saints who want the ...read more

    This is how we are to operate: To please Jesus – whatever others think

    Mark 14:1-10 Betrayal – Sensitive Hearts – Indignation. In the Gospel of Mark we find this curious incident of the anointing of Jesus sandwiched in the middle of two sections on those who have a need to get rid of Jesus.
