The world needs your gift, your wisdom, your unique point of view.  Keep going, keep believing.

I make no apologies for everything in this list being challenging.  You need to be challenged about how you handle money, or you will never walk in your dreams.  It’s that simple. If you are not saving, you hate your future self. If you don’t tithe, you don’t believe God is good.  Deep down youContinue reading “10 Tough Truths About Money”

Sometimes I watch people make a foolish decision and I think “yup, that could be me, I have definitely been that dumb before”.  Other times I was people make a decision and I just don’t understand.  I don’t grasp how they got to that point or how their priorities could be so far from whatContinue reading “7 People I Can’t Get My Head Around”

This is the most important conference we as a church have ever put on.  I say that without any sense of exaggeration or hype.  We have gathered our own leaders and preachers and pastors and evangelists.  There are church networks ten-twenty-one hundred times the size of ours who could not gather such a gifted andContinue reading “Heal the Nations 2015”

That’s Acts 4.33 above.  The early church had not just grace but great grace, with the Greek word for grace being megas, it would not be wrong to declare that theContinue reading “Great Grace!”

Today we have a bonus second post as Arthur Meintjes very kindly allowed me to reproduce this great wisdom on our blog: Did You Know? God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is a God who is no respecter of Persons! This is one of the greatest revelations that the Apostle Peter received whenContinue reading “God is No Respecter of Persons (Arthur Meintjes)”
