Do you ever feel like you need more wisdom? I do. We all have times in our lives when, in order to move forward, we need more than what we have, to get to where we want to be. We work hard and do our best, praying things will change, but we can’t seem to […]
Love on the Offense
Looking at the numerous challenges in our nation today, I think we would all agree that our culture is in dire need of love.

Gaining New Ground
I woke up yesterday hearing God say, “Take territory!” I knew it was a charge to take new ground with a fresh level of committed faith and action for every area of life and calling. We are born to battle, whether we like it or not. There is a conflict in this world — a […]
