When the music stops, what’s left? When the lights go down, the band goes home, and the room goes quiet, does your worship stop with it? Matt Redman’s “The Heart of Worship” was written to bring a church back to this question. God is not after the sound. He is after the one behind it. If God searched the deepest recesses of your heart tonight, what would He find? Some of us want the form but not the power. We know the songs, the posture, and the language. We can lift our hands on cue; but Paul warned Timothy about Read More

Have you ever experienced a sudden breakthrough in understanding—a moment when confusion lifted, and truth became clear? There are those moments when our thoughts fall like rain. It’s tempting to credit our own intellect or wisdom in these moments. But scripture reminds us of a humbling truth: genuine clarity comes from the Holy Spirit, the divine revealer.

I must be completely honest. Sometimes, I really want to ‘clap back’ at certain people. Lately, it’s been a daily struggle. To ‘clap back’ at someone means to respond to criticism or an insult with a sharp, witty, and effective comeback. Yet I must remember what the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31, “I die daily.” As I thought about this scripture, I decided I wanted to write a book entitled “I Died More Than Once Today.” The premise of the book is this: A transformative exploration of what it truly means to “die daily” as a follower of Read More

We are in a season of great upheaval, both naturally and spiritually. There are events happening in the spirit realm and in the natural realm that we need to be able to discern.

We can see examples of spiritual discernment by looking at the life of Joseph. Joseph demonstrated remarkable discernment throughout his time in Egypt in several key ways: 1.

Job 28:20–28 offers a powerful reminder about the source of true wisdom. In the midst of deep suffering, Job reflects on humanity’s ability to uncover the earth’s treasures—yet acknowledges that true wisdom cannot be found through human effort alone. It belongs to God and is revealed to those who fear Him. Wisdom begins not with knowledge or achievement, but with a reverent heart that seeks and trusts the Lord. Just as a flower begins with a seed hidden beneath the soil, Godly wisdom begins in the quiet place of reverence—the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. At first, there Read More
