Separating education from credentialing
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a huge advocate of getting a world-class education.Here’s the rub: education and credentialing aren’t the same thing.
Education is the process of learning something useful – concepts, knowledge, and skills that improve your life...

Most people say prayers. We’re called to move mountains.
Most people recite speeches. We are called to speak life.
Most people visit the sick. We are called to heal the sick.
Most people counsel the oppressed. We are called to free/deliver the oppressed.
Most people read books. We are called to be living epistles.
Most people give messages. We are called to become a message.

People who reject ideas that conflict with their own, do so because their identity comes from what they hold to be true. They call themselves Christian, Calvinist, Atheist, Republican, Lutheran, etc, based on what ideas they believe to be true and to some...
it's pretty easy...
You become interesting when you become interested in other people. You become interested in other people when you stop being so interested in yourself and your own agenda. You stop pursuing your own agenda when you learn to love (love is not self-seeking). You learn to love by learning how He has loved you first.

"Spiritual" Warfare
Guys. guys…
“spiritual warfare” is not “praying hard”.
It is not raising your voice against the devil.
Nor is it getting mad and shaking your fists at the devil.
It is not praying against principalities and “warring” in the heavens.
True spiritual warfare is understanding the enemy is already disarmed, defeated, under our feet, and it is our job to...

But if you have a heart that loves, you will have the eyes to see people’s pain inside, you will have ears that will hear another’s heart, and you will have lips that will speak and impart Life, grace, and Truth.

This FREE manual is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about healing and the power of God. A believer of any denomination can learn from it. I’m a Charismatic Catholic and though there a few (very minor I might add) things that I may not agree with 100%, the spirit of this manual is definitely authentic.
If you are hungry to see the power of God at work in...
If you are shaken by thoughts or circumstances,...
Being shaken is an invitation to grow and become stronger.
And yes, it should eventually get to a point where you become unshakable.

You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the…

I was hanging out with my friend’s 5 year old boy. It was rare in my agenda to do what I wanted to do or talk about what I want to talked about. I was more excited to hear what he was excited about, his new toys, new things he’s learned to do.
First, he wanted to play wii, and then he wanted to watch tom and jerry, it honestly didn’t matter in my book. It wasn’t about...

I encourage you to read this…all the way through. Don’t just stop reading out of offense or because it sounds different from what you’ve heard. I’m still wrestling with a lot of things.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Litmus test.
If you can’t explain your theology to a 5 year old, it’s probably because it’s not simple, and it misses the simplicity of Christ.

(Isaiah 53:4-5) Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
