Confess your Faults one to another. And God will heal you of your disease and weaknesses. We need confession in a healthy church in order to grow healthy Christians. And yet more and more I have come to realize how far the discipline of confession has disappeared. Many think confession is for Catholics who have […]

It seems everywhere I look I see a different church denomination. Baptist, Mennonite, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, Baptist, Free-Will Baptist, Independent Baptist, Amish, Baptist, Old-Order Mennonite, Amish, Eastern Orthodox… I hardly got started and I already missed that other Baptist one. Each of these split off some other group in the course of history over […]

Research suggests faking a laugh may have almost all the benefits of real laughter! So are you feeling down? Go for it! Fake a belly deep, roll in the mud laugh! The benefits of a real laugh have been known for a long time. In fact, back in the day of King Solomon, it was […]

The world describes success as having a house bigger than your neighbor’s, a nicer car than your friend drives, a yacht […]

This blog is about Leadership. It is also about discipleship. That is why a buzzword such as Servant Leadership is quite at home here. However, Servant Leadership has become a bit of an empty buzzword. A term that almost implies manipulation. And that does not belong on a discipleship/leadership blog. When you hear these gurus […]

David Wilkerson, Founder of World Challenge (Teen Challenge) and Founder and Pastor of Times Square Church, passed away yesterday (April 27, 2011) in an automobile accident. He posted an amazingly appropriate post on his blog just before he died. Hopefully the family and friends find comfort in that. I imagine that the Lord will welcome […]
