The enemy would love for you to believe that if you received every spiritual gift out there, you would be more valuable to God and more influential than others. The enemy aims to distance you from God in whatever way he can. If that means dangling the carrot of fame and recognition in front […]

Cling-Wrap Christians?
In our desire to grow in the Lord, we gravitate to older brothers and sisters in Christ with the hope that they will guide us in our walk. There is nothing wrong with this. In fact, Paul often spoke of his loving relationship with his spiritual son, Timothy. He further addressed the need for older […]
Fare Thee Well 2021! The word of the Lord for 2022
Fare Thee Well, 2021! Thank you, 2021, for the wisdom, patience, and strength that I developed through the challenges you brought my way. 2021, I promise never to forget the truths I learned as I journeyed through the past 365 days with you.

I love many things about Christmas, and most of those things centre on the remarkable opportunity we have to sing God’s praises wherever we go. A thrill runs up my spine when I hear the […]
Who are You Representing and to Whom?
Just who are you representing and to whom? Good questions to ask! 2 Corinthians 5:17 is a favourite of most Christians because it talks about our identity in Christ – but what if it’s not all about us? I invite you to watch my latest YouTube video! It’s all about reconciliation, seeing others through the […]
Living a Life of Thanks
How does someone keep their heart from hardening when bad things happen? They embrace the daily practice of giving thanks. I don’t know all the answers. However, I have seen thankfulness as a significant thread in the lives of many of my spiritual mentors. They all learned the benefits of living a life of intentional […]
Walk Like You’re Worthy
If you are gauging your self-worth and identity on what others have done to you, said to you or called you in your past or what others might say about you in the future, then you are sentencing yourself to a life of anxiety, second-guessing yourself and confusion. God is our source of identity, he […]
