    To fathers, families would rather ‘see’ a sermon

    I’m tired of weak, passive men who never contend, stand or fight for anything worth dying for. Our nation is looking for character, our wives are looking for leaders, and our kids are looking for fathers.

    Why the battle cry of Isaiah is for this time

    Although it is God who fills us, we must yield. He empowers, but we must surrender. He awakens, but we must repent. Let Isaiah’s battle cry become your battle cry and watch what God does in and through you — arise and shine.

  • You hurt me! Now what?

    You hurt me! Now what?

    Be encouraged: God sees your heart and will reward you based on your actions, not the actions of the other person. You can’t change them, but you can change yourself.

    Encountering storms even in the center of God's will
