Sunday Blessing: Strong Foundation

I hope to visit you soon. However, I'm writing this to you in case I'm delayed. I want you to know how people who are members of God's family must live. God's family is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth. (1 Timothy 3:14-15 GW) I was in Panama … Continue reading Sunday Blessing: Strong Foundation

Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays

You are Christ's body--that's who you are! You must never forget this. Only as you accept your part of that body does your "part" mean anything.  (1 Corinthians 12:27 MSG) As many times as we have heard it, it's still true: Every believer has a part in the Body of Christ.  In fact, every one … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Everybody Plays

De la Abundancia del Corazon

En Espíritu y en verdad, Amigo. Años atrás, en los 1980’s cuando por primera vez asistía a una Iglesia carismática, me sorprendió el estilo que tenían para adorar, más que eso, note una intensidad y una participación a la que no estaba acostumbrado. Eso me llamo mi atención, la prioridad en la Iglesia es adorar … Continue reading De la Abundancia del Corazon

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Building People of Substance for Works of Power OK, Friend, let's do this! Many years ago, in my desperation to stop drinking, I stumbled into a 12 Step meeting. At the end of the discussion, we all stood, held hands, and recited the Lord’s Prayer. Though I had not been in church for a very … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Revive the Tithe: New Covenant…Eternal Priest

But now Jesus, our High Priest, has been given a ministry that is far superior to the old priesthood, for He is the One who mediates for us a far better covenant with God, based on better promises.  (Hebrews 8:6 NLT)   Under the Law of Moses, the Levitical priesthood received the tithe.  Under the … Continue reading Revive the Tithe: New Covenant…Eternal Priest

Out of the Abundance of the Heart

In spirit and truth, Amigos. Back in 1980 when I first attended a Charismatic church, I was taken aback by the style of worship. More than that, I noticed an intensity and participation that I was not used to. Those things attracted me. The first priority of the Church is to worship the Lord. We … Continue reading Out of the Abundance of the Heart

Contend for the Supernatural: Granola Cometh

Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil.  (1 Thessalonians 5:19-22 NKJV) One of the reasons that even Pentecostal people eventually back away from the things of the Spirit is in reaction to bizarre behaviors and doctrinal issues that come … Continue reading Contend for the Supernatural: Granola Cometh

Sunday Blessing: Prayin’ His Will

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the … Continue reading Sunday Blessing: Prayin’ His Will

Revive the Tithe: One Omer per Ephah!

The Israelites ate the manna for forty years until they arrived at the land where they would settle down. They ate manna until they reached the border into Canaan. According to ancient measurements, an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.  (Exodus 16:35-36 MSG) The tithe is permanently ensconced in the heart of God.  It is … Continue reading Revive the Tithe: One Omer per Ephah!
