Quit? Are You Kidding Me?
I know that I'm not alone when I say that there have been times when I've been tired and tired of being tired. Can you identify with this? If you've worked in any type of ministry for any length of time, it is easy to want to just give up. You've been in the same church and in the same classroom doing the same thing week after week, month after month, year after and year and you are (to use Southern vernacular) just slap worn out. It would be so easy to just turn in your resignation and make your years of ministry a distant memory. You've paid your "dues". Now, it's time for someone else to...
Let’s Make History
Some blog postings require sentence after sentence and paragraph after paragraph in order to share my thought. Here's a thought that only takes a few words. It's taken from a brief quote from one of my favorite preachers, Leonard Ravenhill. "I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history; let's make (some) by the grace of God!" ~ Leonard Ravenhill Powerful! History books are waiting for the exploits that God will do in and through you. Now, go start making church history by turning off your computer, connect with the Holy Spirit, and then go do something. The two...
The “Somebody” of Revival
I often have people ask me why is there no mighty move of God in their ministry. We know that it's their desire and probably the desire of everybody working alongside of them. But, reality is, it's just not there. The answer is quite simple. Let me give it to you through a simple story. This is a story about four people named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, NOBODY, and ANYBODY. There was an important job to be done and EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. SOMEBODY got angry about that because it was EVERYBODY'S job. EVERYBODY thought...
Have You Taken the Time to …
Let me let you in on a secret. There is no such thing as a self-made man. And, if there was, I sure wouldn't want to see him. You may be so bright that your Mom called you son (pardon my humor), but you didn't get to where you are today by yourself. There have been many, many people that have taught you, corrected you, loved on you when others had pushed you aside, toughened you up, challenged your small-mindedness, spoke as a mouthpiece for God to you, wept with you, rejoiced with you, reminded you of your "humanness" (in other words, there is a God and you aren't Him), etc. God has placed...
He’s Unpacked His Bags to Stay!
In traveling from city to city to conduct our Ignite the Supernatural Conference, Vickie and I often stay in hotels. What may seem like a luxury to others can in all reality be burdensome to the person moving from hotel to hotel day after day, week after week. It's a job to pack your suitcases with the clothing, toiletries, books, etc., place the suitcases into the vehicle, travel to the next city, unload the suitcases from the vehicle, tote the suitcases to the hotel room, unpack the suitcases, organize the clothing for the stay, stay at the hotel for a day or two or three, and then start...
