Accountability is about being responsible for fulfilling one’s duties and obligations. Discovering and fulfilling our purpose is an act of accountability. Biblical accountability begins with taking responsibility for our actions and making a conscious choice to allow God and others to assist us in accomplishing God’s plan for our lives. God has given us a plan (Jeremiah 29:11) and a purpose (Jeremiah 1:5). We are not autonomous, in control of our own lives and destiny; God is in control. When He gives us an assignment, we are to follow the instructions if we want to see the outcome that God promised Read More

Alignment: In Pursuit of Purpose
Alignment is important when you are in pursuit of purpose. There are places God has called you to go and people He has called you to meet. We must have the determination to be in alignment with God’s purpose and plan. Where are you? Are you in alignment with God’s plan and purpose for your life? Are you reaching for those things that are aligned with your purpose? Do you have a clear vision of where God wants you to be?

Acceleration: It’s Happening Now
Acceleration means the rate at which velocity changes with time in terms of both speed and direction. Have you noticed that things are happening much more quickly now?

Learn to trust God in the process. My friend, Delphine Riley, included this powerful Read More

Even if you are not aware of them, and often people are not, they are actively ministering on behalf of God’s people. Additionally, you should not “neglect to extend hospitality to strangers [especially among the family of believers—being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it (Hebrews 13:2). I want to share an excerpt from a book by Read More
Thirsty!: Come and Drink
Thirsty is an interesting word. It has so many meanings, from needing a drink to being eager. I was reading something today that reminded me to drink more water. Then I started thinking about how thirst can cause our minds and bodies to fail. The same is true in a spiritual sense. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we will never experience the life of purpose that God planned for us. What a wasted life! John 7:37 tells us that Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me Read More
