Christianity: The New Counter-Culture
Nehemiah said, "At whatever place you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us." That means, “Wherever there’s a fight… meet us there! We fight in the victory of God’s strength!” Wherever you and I turn, it is increasingly obvious that we are in a battle for the souls of men. The malice of the cultural wars is increasingly hostile. Christianity is no longer the prevailing worldview in America. Christianity is now the counter-culture in our postmodern world. The sickness of Godless wisdom has blinded the world to the death spiral it...
The Man Next to You: Your Next Mission

You have a plan for the next steps of your job or career—it's coming together. Then what? The man next to you - he's your next mission. He needs what you have.

How Do We Keep Score In Life?
If the game doesn’t keep score, most men don’t want to play the game. If you don’t know how to keep score, then it’s just confusing. And that’s where most men have landed in this ever-shifting and demanding culture. I was with a couple friends making some shots on a basketball court in the back of a church. One suggested we play “HORSE,” where a man shoots and you have to match that exact shot – so you’re each trying to create impossible shots that the others will miss. You get a letter for every miss, starting with "H" until...
Crushing The Curses of Goliath
Goliath walked to the center of the battle zone every morning and every evening and cursed the armies of Israel. Saul didn’t trust God so he hid in fear - fear always quarantines. He kept his army in their tents! This was the army of God. This was the army of covenant and anointing and God’s power. And they stayed in their tents. Insane. Fear always diminishes your strength.
