"What's God Got To Do With My Purpose?"
God has an important message for you. And I believe that it's a message that can change the landscape of your entire life. I've met many people who long to understand what they are on this earth to do. But for many reasons, most become frustrated and discouraged, to the point where they have […]
Getting To The Core Of Relationships
You want to know your life purpose. But what do you need that will help you to reveal what that is? The fundamental answer lies in relationship. Your relationships determine how you see yourself, your life, and where you are headed in the future. When we think of relationship, we think of how we get […]
Stepping Off The Hamster Wheel of Performance
Society has taught us that with enough hard work and determination, we can accomplish any dream or goal that we set our minds to. Although this is true to an extent, I believe that there must be more to success than simply hard work. I don’t know about you, but I know plenty of people […]
Less "God", More "Jesus"
Easter is just around the corner, and for many Christians, this is one of the most special weeks of the year. In just about any church you walk into this week, you will hear the pastor talking about Jesus. In fact, this is the week when you’ll probably hear Christians talk about Jesus more than […]

No Wonder They Don't Like Us Christians
Have you ever wondered why America seems to be more against Christians and Christianity these days? We see it in the news, we hear it in church, we see and hear about it on Christian TV and radio; everyday, there seems to be another group or segment within our society that is challenging Christian beliefs, […]
An Eye-to-Eye Encounter with Jesus
Several years ago, I had an unforgettable encounter with God. I was praying in my study in the middle of the night. The room was very dark, but I sensed that Jesus Himself was standing right in front of me, nearly nose-to-nose, looking right into my eyes! I will never forgot those eyes. They were […]
Leave the Details to God!
If you’re like me, you’ve at one time or another pressed God for more details! I’ve made comments like, “Lord, I need you to tell me what’s going to happen.” “Would you please let me in on where we’re going?” Or, how about this one: “if only I knew what you wanted me to do, […]
