Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” “Because of your little faith,” Hen told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:19-20 Holman Christian Standard […]
I am convinced that the real nature of the ekklesia in the earth is that it is made up of the real relationships we have with other believers, especially those relationships through which Kingdom work is being produced. I wonder how much more we would be capable of in our work if we were to frequently examine our relationships with […]
An acorn looks absolutely nothing like an oak tree, except maybe in similarity of color. Yet, hidden in the identity of an acorn is perhaps a thousand oak trees, if the little nut’s story goes well.

There are many stories about foot races in which one contender is many minutes behind the winner of the race. In one, even though the race has been won, she does not stop her run and surrender.

“And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

For a few centuries, we have been confused about what “holy” means. Most of the people who have anything to say about the subject are offering their version of what rules it means keeping. What Yahweh means by the idea is “set apart.” The three parts of what it implies are 1) the item or person, which is 2) set […]
What Paul wrote to the congregations in Philippi was a letter to people he loved, encouraging and thanking them for their increasing love for him and for the rest of the ekklesia. He shared with them some of his prayers for them. He also prophesied a blessing over them, blessing them in response to the fact that they had blessed […]
And whoever doesn’t take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Anyone finding his life will lose it, and anyone losing his life because of Me will find it. The one who welcomes you welcomes Me, and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. (Matthew 10:38-40 Holman Christian Standard Bible ®©) Whatever it […]
