How do you enter God’s presence?
This question… “How do you enter God’s presence?”, is so beautiful and has been asked of me many times lately. The answer from God’s Word is so refreshing… 1. Be still. Get quiet to allow Him to lead you. Ps 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I…

Do Leaders Need to Repent?
Do leaders need to repent …or can they sweep things under the carpet? When leaders fail to repent for idolatry and do not make heart change, not only do they cut off blessing in their own lives, but also in the lives of the people that they lead. When a leader walks in idolatry (bowing…

Life After ‘Church’?
Since stepping away from traditional institutional church and pastoral ministry, my journey has taken me on a sweet adventure.

My Radical Family is a Threat to Society
This morning I was reminded that I come from a history of people who were a threat to society… 🙂 Radicals. “The Anabaptists’ reform efforts were a threat to their society, because they claimed Christianity was to be lived out in small communities in accordance with the explicit teaching of Scripture. Similarly, the first-century Christians…

From Religion to Relationship :)
From religion to relationship. Yes, yes, yes… This was the journey of Saul of Tarsus to become the Apostle Paul. It took a paradigm shift, a transformation of mind to heart.
