On my recent trip to India with Ginny, I got to see the manifestations of how God’s word is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing. (Heb 4:12) During our very first meeting God not only showed up but He showed off and took all of the credit. When I had to speak to this church of about seventy five people in an impromptu setting, He filled my mouth with His prophetic words. I had no ideal that the pastor there needed encouraging and was strugglin

This is definitely going to be a different message from me and one primarily intended for the guys out there. I want to start by publicly saying how much I admire Ginny for the things that she does, and to say that "I don't tell you often enough and I am sorry that I don't." Ginny absolutely amazes me with her knowledge of the Word and her fearlessness to speak with anyone, at any time about Jesus and His saving grace. And yet, she still drives me crazy about being afraid to

Did you know that the Bible talks more on the subject of finances than even faith or salvation? There are over two thousand verses on money and finances. Sixteen of the twenty-eight parables that Jesus told were about finances. Why would God speak so much on this subject? I remember reading the account of the rich young ruler that Jesus asked to sell all he had, give it to the poor and come follow Him. Let's read this from the Amplified Bible. Luke 18:27 says, "And a certain

Can the words of our mouth produce life and death? According to Proverbs 18:21 it can. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Have you ever heard someone say, "Our words frame our world"? How many of us are living like we really believe this truth? Are our words in line with what we want our world to look like? The Bible tells us that we were made in God's image. Now if God creates with words, and we are made in His

Ginny returned this year from India with a greater burden then ever for these people. While much good has been done in India, there is so much more to do and we must all be a part of it in some way. India is truly a poor country if measured by our standards, but when you have never known plenty, you don't really know that you are poor. I can certainly say that from my own experience as a young boy growing up on a farm in Kansas. I had holes in my jeans because I wore them out

Every Christian desires to hear the voice of God in their life. We were created with a longing inside of us to hear our Master's voice. Some look intently for it and others just hope they will somehow hear His still small voice regarding their everyday life issues. How do we go about finding God? How do we go about learning to recognize His voice? What does His voice sound like? Would you recognize the Lord's voice if He spoke right now to you? Life has so many pitfalls and r

While in India, the Lord showed me more than my heart could contain. As a result, He enlarged my heart to receive all that He would have me do. I felt like Nehemiah after he heard about the walls of Jerusalem being in ruin; he needed to do something about it. Nehemiah was in a wealthy position within the palace of the King of Persia, yet upon the Lord moving his heart to do a work for Him, Nehemiah was willing to give it all up for the desires of his heavenly King. In Neh. 2:

Have you ever pondered in your heart why you are here and is there really a plan and purpose for your life? Does God actually have something important for me to do? And if so, how do I find it out and walk in it? In Ps 139:16, the Word of God tells us "your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." In other words, God fashioned our destiny before we were even born. He is the Master Potter who sculpted us

Dearly Beloved in Christ, I would like to take this opportunity to share a few words of exhortation to encourage you to acknowledge and stand firm in our calling for the sake of His Kingdom. The meaning of "Ambassador" is one who is sent as a representative of a king, authority, nation or the people of the certain community. Every nation has ambassadors and every king has ambassadors. These ambassadors will speak or intercede on behalf of their nation, king or people to bring

As the phrase goes, "Tis the Season to be Jolly" but sadly I am having a tough time getting into the swing of things this year. I know that will change in the next couple of days as we draw closer to the time of getting together with family and friends but right now I am just caught up in the hustle and bustle of my daily grind. I am sure for some of you who are reading this; you are or have had these same feelings. I hope that will change for you as I expect it will for me.
