On Monday, we shared an ancient parable out of China that probably pre-dates the Kingdom of God’s advancement into that land (as goes on in amazing ways today). But it’s an amazing parable that has often come to mind when sharing with others that teaches an important lesson. Today, we’ll share a few thoughts on [...]

There was an old & wise shepherd who lived in the north of China.
One day, the best of his few horses ran away. His neighbors came by and tried to console him. He replied, “Who knows this might be a blessing?”
About a month later, his horse came back with a flock of wilder horses. His [...]

“Then Solomon began to build the temple of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David.” (2 Chronicles 3)

As we conclude our series on the image and likeness of God, it’s noteworthy to point out that this is a strange time. You have me and others the Lord has put in this position out there pleading for people to prepare themselves because a new season is around the corner. In fact, it has [...]

We continue our discussion of us being made in God’s image and likeness. It’s amazing that God can tell us what He’s going to do around the world and then we can watch and see it happen. It’s incredibly humbling and awe inspiring to be able to hear God’s voice telling you in advance of [...]

We are continuing our blog series on the image and likeness of God. When God comes close to the earth, what happens?
“The LORD reigns,
let the nations tremble;
he sits enthroned between the cherubim,
let the earth shake.” (Psalm 99:1)
Let’s look at a few of the past moves of God…

Continuing from our series on being made in God’s image and likeness, it’s very difficult for us to believe that these incredible times are upon us. The people of Jesus’ day thought the same thing. They thought, “How can anyone be greater than David?”
A time is coming greater than that of David’s, greater than Christ’s. [...]

Picking up from our last post on image and likeness, there’s been a prosperity movement in the Church that says God wants everything for us that our flesh wants because Jesus suffered so we don’t have to. This is wrong and ignorant of many parts of scripture. It’s a fleshly/worldly way of thinking. What about [...]

As we continue our image and likeness discussion, God is not impressed with any position man holds on earth – as such positions we will hold in eternity will not correlate to those held on earth. But how the hearts of each of us are focused away from the positions and prestige of this world [...]
