    The great cost of preaching without prayer: Theology without fire

    Throughout church history — from the reformation to revival — pivotal shifts have taken place to get us back on track. These critical moments are often centered around sound doctrine, but the catalyst is always prayer, brokenness, and humility.

  • Woe to those who call evil good

    Woe to those who call evil good

    The cure for spiritual disease never changes: humility, repentance, brokenness, and desperation lead to spiritual health. Our cry must resemble Isaiah’s: “Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence” (Isaiah 64:1).

  • Thunderous applause over murdering children: Will it happen again?

    Thunderous applause over murdering children: Will it happen again?

    Will thunderous applause take place if AB2223 passes? Will pastors have the blood of the innocent on their hands (if they don’t already)? Time will tell, but if this doesn’t wake America up, I’m not sure what will.

  • The war on lukewarm Christianity has begun. Will you fight?

    The war on lukewarm Christianity has begun. Will you fight?

    Nearly all Christians understand that evil is prevailing at an alarming rate and that we may be on the verge of a massive recession and unparalleled civil unrest. But we aren’t called to run, but to rescue — we must lead in the battle, not leave the battle.

  • Is this our last chance?

    Is this our last chance?

    Nearly all Christians understand something is off — way off — and that we can no longer confuse God’s patience with His approval.

  • How to hear God’s voice to know His will

    How to hear God’s voice to know His will

    If you’re searching for God, I encourage you to look to the One who has the answers and surrender your life to Him. No matter what you have done or have experienced you can turn to Christ and get on the right track

  • Are you truly desperate for God’s presence?

    Are you truly desperate for God’s presence?

    Are you like the prodigal son and satisfied temporarily eating with the pigs, or is it time for you to change your direction and run to the Father? 

  • When the fire fades: Reigniting passion for God

    When the fire fades: Reigniting passion for God

    God is no respecter of persons, but He is a respecter of principles — the principle of repentance is life-altering. We must confess that our fire has faded and ask God to rekindle it. 

  • The blessing of brokenness — broken yet unbreakable

    The blessing of brokenness — broken yet unbreakable

    What a travesty it would be at the end of our journey to find that pride robbed us of the blessing of brokenness.

  • The cure for spiritual cancer is simple but not easy

    The cure for spiritual cancer is simple but not easy

    We are angry but not desperate, mad but not humble, and enraged but not broken. What will it take to break us? The red, white, and blue cannot save us, but the crimson blood of Christ can.
