Experiencing Encounters with God When we were on a trip to Thailand, a missionary told me about a place in the Omkoi district, in the far north, near the border, out in the bush, where there’s hardly anything.  The Holy Spirit has been moving tremendously through these tribal people.  They’re getting up at 4:00 every morning to pray and to worship. Who’s leading the way?  It’s the children – they have a mission school there.  And so the kids, before school, get up at 4:00 in the morning to pray, as young as five years old, and they’re having encounters with [...]

Who are we in Christ?  In Romans 8:16-17 we read, “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.  Now, if we are God’s children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.” What are the implications of being God’s sons and daughters and co-heirs with Christ?  How does the character of our Father God relate to our relationship with Him and with our ministry to others?

Whether we realize it or not, there’s a real desire for community and real authentic relationships. But at the same time, often our wounds come from people. This makes navigating relationships tricky sometimes. […]

Be Transformed

The truth is, transformation is an ongoing process for Christians until they get to heaven, so we might as well accept that. In the meantime, there are some basic principles that can help us understand transformation and how we can partner with God’s work in us. Transformation is … … a process.

To wrap up this series, let’s talk about suffering and why God allows it. Notice that I didn’t say that God causes suffering; He allows it. There is a huge difference. And here’s some good news: there is a purpose in suffering.

And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only [...]
