Love is a decision. Have you heard that statement before?  I can’t remember the first time I heard it, but it has always stuck with me. Maybe it was from a sermon or a normal conversation, but the thought never left me.  God helped me understand the decisive nature of love by reading 1 Corinthians…

In the midst of hunger, Esau made a dire decision that would affect his future. (Genesis 25:29-34) In the midst of hunger, the Israelites doubted God and complained against him. (Exodus 16:3-8) In the midst of hunger, how do you act? Most would answer and say they get angry or moody, hence the term hangry.  Why…

Fasting is your spiritual superpower that no one can take away from you. It’s a strategy that is lethal and goes undetected externally because it works so deeply internally.  To fast, is to humble yourself and recognize your powerlessness and dependence on God.

Warning! Dangerous prayer coming in 3…2..1.. Lord, empty me on earth before I get to heaven.  Just like Jesus said he didn’t come for health but for the sick, your purpose in Christ won’t be beneficial in heaven.  What good is it to start teaching, leading or encouraging people who have already made it to…

Cultural colloquialism can get you in trouble. Yes, it sounds cool to use the language and keeps you with the “in” crowd, but consider what you are truly saying.  There are two phrases that I heavily use because I’ve heard it so much that it became natural to me.
