We have a thing in the church for getting results. I think we get it from the business world. Everyone wants a ROI – Return On Investment. Why wouldn’t they? You put a lot of resources, finances, and hard work into something, you want it to pay off. There’s a bamboo species that takes 100-120 […]

The Attraction Of Church
In one of the Facebook groups I’m in, someone had this to say, when trying to figure out how to market their church in a city of bigger churches: “…many of them are bigger and have all the stuff to attract all the people.” So, what attracts people to church? Sadly a lot of what […]
The Proper Place Of Relationships
Relationships. In the church world, we like to focus a whole lot on relationships. We have things like relational evangelism. We have connect groups and link teams where we try to connect people with similar interest, or of the same age and have them do things to grow their relationships together to make a stronger, […]
A Counterfeit God
The world, and when I say world, I mean the whole world, throws around the term “god” so much that you don’t know what anyone is talking about unless you’re given more information about this “god” or the one talking. If you’re in the south in the United States, you’ll hear “God bless their heart” […]
The Expectation of Offense
It seems like everyone is getting offended these days. Everywhere you look, someone is offended because someone said something about someone. People are made to make empty apologies on social media because of the backlash from the masses. Even waves of Christians get offended because a coffee company takes Christmas trees off their cups. It’s […]
Are We All Children Of God?
Have you ever heard someone say that we are all children of God? And you look at them and think, I can see how I am a child of God, but you look like a child of the devil? OK, I haven’t. But I have heard some people say that we are all children of […]
The Church Vs The Devil
After the Lord revealed to Dr. Kenneth E Hagin an attack the devil was wanting to bring against America, He told him, “You saw the same thing in 1970. I told you then exactly what they were, but you didn’t do what you should have done about it. I told you back in 1970 to […]
The Purpose Of Stage Lighting
In the culture of the church today, it has become the trend to have a stage design, stage lighting, even a whole light show to accompany a worship service. That is, if you can afford it. If you can’t, then you do your best to have some kind of stage lighting to keep the audience’s […]
Giving Away Our Authority To Politicians
If you’re a Christian, pretend for a moment you’re not. Terrible thing, yes, but just pretend you aren’t and wrap your head around this thought: The government of a nation runs a nation. Politics and politicians run a nation. Now come back to the land of the living, as a Christian and think on that […]
The Mask Sign No One Follows
During these pandemic times, I have watched as regulations are initiated through businesses across my city. I’ve noticed that in five particular nationwide businesses, they all have signs that read “Masks must be worn” before entering the building. On every door, before you walk through it, there is a sign. At some, there is a […]
