What Does This High Holy Day Mean To Believers Today?
Gang, The Dream Lists are arriving and I know more are on the way. In my head I saw these lists as I prayed over them and placed them before the Lord. They became shimmering with gold dust as they were anointed with power and the purposes of God. I am taking these lists with…

The Key To Powerful Prayer
Leaving 5,774 behind. Rosh Hashanah 2014. Part Deux Part I I’ve learned a lot about the power of prayer this past year. My friends, this little word prayer becomes mundane in its over use in our culture.

Trust + Surrender + Obedience = Breakthrough
My friends, a few weeks ago I talked about A Step of Faith. In that post I said “we will have to take a believing step of faith to activate the promise we’ve been given.” This was all about trusting God and moving in that trust (faith) to step forward. Nearly a month later I…

Unequally Yoked and the Atheist Blogs
