From One to Another...
Dear Worship Leaders and Worship Pastors,
The way we lead worship should send the hearts of our congregation on a collision course with the heart of God, and if lives aren’t being changed DURING worship, it’s re-evaluation time.
Good music alone never saved anyone, set anyone free of addiction, restored hope to a dying heart, or healed anyone of cancer. No, only an encounter with a...

Big Time...
God has been teaching me a great deal about how vital it is to know and walk in our True Identity, our Heavenly Persona.
1 Samuel 16:1-13 is the account of Samuel anointing David, and there are two things in this passage I have not been able to get out of my head: The revelation and insight revealed in verse 7, and Samuel’s reaction in verse 11. *(I’ll leave it to you to go, read, and...
The Bible...
“All of the Bible contains God, but not all of God is contained in the Bible.” Thoughts to ponder: John 21:25
Ephesians 6:17 - When Paul talks about the Word of God, he isn’t referring to the Bible.
“The Bible says ‘All who are led by the Spirit are sons of God.’ (Rom. 8:14) It doesn’t say all who are led by the Bible are sons of God.” (Kris...

The Holy Spirit...
The Holy Spirit is an expert on the heart of the Father, the best teacher to ever exist, and a genius at life. He should be the loudest voice in our life, the first one we turn to, and the last one we question.
And if we are to be “all about Jesus” then we must promote the same things He promoted, and He greatly promoted the Holy Spirit.
We have been taught to fear the very Helper...

Theology...
Whether you agree with me or not, God’s doing a new thing in American Christian culture. One of the things I believe He’s doing is exposing bad, sub-par theology.
What is bad, sub-par theology?
ANY theology, thought process, or teaching that doesn’t agree with the heart and character of God in Jesus Christ. (Jesus was the embodiment of God’s heart. - (Colossians 1:15-23)

Wrecking Me...
Here is something that has been ringing in my head like the beautiful Bb of a Vuvuzela:
As the Church and as Christians, we have reached a place of being completely confident in Romans 10:9: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Our confidence in people’s being rescued from Hell for...
Cup Check Time...
If you want to be a TRULY affective church or ministry, especially in America, these questions must be at the forefront of all your planning. They sting, but they have helped me tremendously.
1.) Could your ministry/your church continue to function if the Holy Spirit was taken out of the equation?
Now I know what you’re thinking… “That’s a dumb question. Of course it...

The Ever Cry of My Heart...
Jesus Culture recently put out a 3 song EP called My Passion. It’s, as all their stuff is, incredible! On the EP is a song called Show Me Your Glory, and it absolutely captures the song of my heart. (Listen)
I see the cloud. I step in. I want to see Your glory as Moses did. Flashes of light, rolls of thunder, I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid. Show me Your glory! I’m awed by...
A Few Points from Chapter 8...
I’m really in a fun place in life! God’s bombarding me with more revelation than I thought I could handle…but of course I can and He knows best…and I love it! He’s teaching me that it’s really ok (as long as it’s not sinning) to be unconventional. For instance, I have a stack of books on my “To Read” list, and so last night, I took one of those...
