Silence and stillness are both worship. Worship is response to God’s Presence. It could look like a variety of things. It’s not just songs, music or hands lifted. Worship is often misdefined and our actions follow suit. In the Psalms, David writes “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise.” There is a picture…

I have been apart of and have attended countless church communities across the U.S. I have both served and attended a variety of dominations of the church body, as well. What I have consistently witnessed is a complete lack of teaching and education on Biblical manhood, womanhood, husband, wife, marriage and family perspectives. The topics…

Teachers in our modern day definition dont have to be as vulnerable or intimate with their students, in the emotional and spiritual sense. Students come to receive information from them and that can be the extent of the interaction. almost like a vending machine or drive through, there is a coming and going that does…

Who HE is is enough to praise him. We don’t need conjured up words and lyrics to sound “good” and spiritual. Inner high courts praise is simple and direct. Not simple in weight and reverence, simple in adoration and declaration. When Gods manifest Presence rests, usually one is able to not speak or utter much.…

Let’s read Titus 2 at face value, word for word. I grew up in the church and I can say I never heard these Scriptures taught on and talked about. I ask myself and others, why is this not talked about? Maybe it is and I am just not in those circles who do? Dysfunction…

The holy spirit gives groans in the inner man often too deep for words, too expansive for religious rhetoric, and catchy “Christian” vocabulary.

Worship is the response to God’s Presence, His Anointing and Glory. Praise is declaring who He is, thanksgiving is declaring what He has, is or will do. There is a self-willed praise and thanksgiving that can get us into Presence consciousness and response—worship. But. There is a waiting on God. There is emotional striving and…

God will often call you to things that aren’t your strengths. Even as believers, we often automate “our calling” in direct parallel with our natural gifting and skill sets. But, I am learning, this very thinking can keep us from what God is actually leading and calling us to do in real time. This magnifies…

“Our soul say, waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield”(Psalm 33:20). This waiting on God on behalf of the church will depend largely on the place that waiting ON Him has taken in our personal life. The mind may have beautiful visions of what God has promised to do, and the…

Most of us, including myself, project onto God our own view of Him. A view that has been soaked and tainted by our pain, fear, experiences and religious teaching. We live in a culture and environment, even more so the young charismatic church now, where a longing for social justice is growing like wild fire.…
