What is the primary purpose of every Christian? To save souls? Disciple new believers? Plant churches? Feed the poor? Promote sound doctrine? What’s our main purpose? Another relevant question is: What is the meaning of life?
This same question was presented to Jesus by a religious leader who asked, “Which is the first commandment of all?” (Mark 12:28, NKJV). In other words, “What’s most important?”
Jesus answered, “The first of all the commandments is…love the Lord your God with all your heart…all...

There are two conditions of the heart no one can hide: one is when the heart is filled with love and the other when we are infected with bitterness. Either condition can take over our thoughts and both can filter our entire view of life. As followers of Jesus Christ, we must make our highest quest to possess hearts full of God’s love. Indeed, how successful we are at revealing Christ’s love is the true measure of our spirituality.
Thus, love...

Trials are a part of life, and the way we deal with them will determine whether we lead a life of victory or defeat. But no matter what the trial is, the Lord will give us power, even in the darkest of times, through the Holy Spirit to overcome, as Acts 1:8 tells us: “but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you….”
We have this accessible help all of the time. We can count on the...

Over the last few years, the Morningstar School of Ministry (MSM) has implemented a new course called The Faith Course. The purpose of the course is to challenge the students to do things that would stretch their faith and to hear the voice of the Lord. Their assignments are such things as finding and praying for someone with a specific disease or ailment and seeing them healed, leading someone to the Lord from a specific people group, prophesying to strangers,...

Recently I heard Bob Jones share the testimony of a revelation he received from the Lord concerning our lack of the miraculous in the Western church. His revelation was that we in the West believe that all things are possible with God. Our problem, however, is with the issue of "doubt."
To be honest, I struggled with this insight for sometime before the Lord helped me understand it more fully. Initially, it seems that his revelation is a contradiction. After all,...

Let's do away with the term “theologian." Why? The idea that certain members of the body of Christ are theologians while the rest are non-theologians is traditional thinking embedded in the old wineskins of the church.
First, those called to lead the church and to equip the saints for the work of ministry are called apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers (see Eph. 4:11). Theologians are not on the list. In fact, the word “theologian” isn't even in the concordance.
Yet, the...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE FISHING FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BOAT WHEN JESUS REDIRECTS YOUR ATTENTION ELSEWHERE!
So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you will find a catch” (John 21:5-6).
I am convinced the message of John 21 is foundational to the issue of change and transition today. Peter, for example, represents believers...

Last week, I mentioned the dream I had in which I saw a cloud of death sweeping the earth. To escape this cloud, I had to enter a house, which I knew was the house of the Lord. When I got to the door, even though I knew I had the key to the house, I could not find it quickly enough, and the dream ended with me frozen in panic. This week, I want to discuss this key and...

THE NEED FOR REVIVAL
Although the term revival is not found in the Bible as such, the experience is there and so is the idea. This concept is also found in an impressive variety of more or less synonymous expressions employed in prayer and promise, e.g., "Wilt thou not revive us again?" Psalms 85:6; "Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years," Habakkuk 3:2; "They shall revive as the corn," Hosea 14:7; "To revive the spirit of the...

For a long time now I have had the constant, nagging sense that the Lord is used to being neglected, that He’s used to being alone with very few friends. Granted, He has many servants who live to serve Him but He has very few with whom He can share Himself completely.
 
But this is changing. At this very moment He is working to bring His people into harmony with Himself. Slowly but surely He is making our feet...

PART ONE
This is the Day the Lord has Made This is the day which God hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it - Psalms 118:24 The revelations of this year's Shepherds Rod will begin to unveil a specific and unique day that God has prepared. This is a day of destiny that the Lord has made! We have crossed a threshold in heavens time-line. The Bible calls it the "fullness of time." The apostle Paul in his...

Sister Peng pays a high price to be a Christian in China. She has been arrested many times, and she will go to jail again if the police catch her preaching the gospel. Forced to live as a fugitive, she must sneak into her home at night to visit her husband and young daughter.
The first time Peng was taken into custody, just after the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing in 1989, she was delivering a fresh shipment of Chinese Bibles...

There have probably been few times in history when there were more reasons for expecting a major advance for the cause of Christianity than there are now. Renewal of the church is taking place around the world. Reconciliation movements are confronting important strongholds such as racism, and other roots of division and injustice. Powerful new movements are impacting men,...
