Double Exposure, Single Focus

Read how God recently convicted a man of hiding an idol in his home, and the freedom that came as he invited exposure and focused on obedience to Christ.

My wife and I hosted team members in our home during a follow-up summit in Dothan, AL. I prayed that we would be an example to the team and that our house would be an extension of the church.

As my wife and I were cleaning our house, I took eight liquor bottles out of our freezer, put them in a bag, and hid them under some clothes in our closet ...

Ministry—Explainable or Unexplainable?

The need to grow in effectiveness in my God-given abilities is a given. And it requires diligent learning and practical enrichment for me to become the best I can be for the glory of God.

I try to read a few good books on leadership each year. The content I embrace may be extrabiblical but it cannot be unbiblical. So I am careful to digest them through a grid of biblical truth.

Our goal is to help Christians everywhere become agents of spiritual awakening in their own circles of influence.

• An elderly couple picked up NINE truckloads of walnuts (some 3,000 lbs.!) in order to sell them for money to give to fuel the OneCry movement.

Much Is at Stake

I've been thinking lately that no one really objects to the claim that the church in America needs spiritual renewal. And few object to the concept that the Spirit's transformation begins with individuals (sometimes we just think it needs to begin with someone else!).

But when it comes to corporate revival, the consensus ends there and questions begin.

Recently, I asked those who follow me on Twitter to share why they believe so many have a resistance to revival. Based on the responses I received, the top two reasons people don't pursue God for revival are: (1 ...
