We Desperately Need the Prophets
We desperately need brave men and women who have been gifted to the church by Jesus, anointed by God, and empowered with gifts by the Holy Spirit; men and women who know God’s heart in light of our current, desperate situation and are not afraid to speak up. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting
inLight Adventure Newsletter – Proportional Transformation
God uses storms, chaos, and crises as instruments of our transformation. He encouraged me to consider the impacts and outcomes of transformation in proportion to the severity and length of this current chaotic season. Reasonably, one should expect greater chaos to produce greater impacts and outcomes – the hope and encouragement we will need to continue running the race when the storms get stronger still.
The Most Compressed Transformation of My Life
This is a testimony to God’s call and grace for my deep healing and His glory. God addressed, in large part, at least five desires I have been carrying around in my heart. In the process, He has transformed me for more, healing a deep wound in my soul. You will be encouraged, edified, and equipped for your next adventure by this witness of God’s attention to the desires of our hearts. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting
inLight Adventure Newsletter – A (Deeper) Relationship with God?
If you desire a personal relationship (or a deeper one) with the God of the Bible, I am here to help. The Lord has commissioned me – along with every other Christian – to do this very thing. Doing so is one way we express our love to Him, so you would be doing me a favor.
Disarming Discouragement
Whether we are trying to get healthy (3John 1:2), striving to enter through the narrow gate (Luke 13:24), or pursuing any number of other godly aspirations, the shadow of discouragement seems to lurk about the proceedings.
“To Pray,” Not “How to Pray”
Notice the disciple did not ask Jesus “how to pray.” The omission of “how” has been a curiosity to me for some time now. Why is a word, which appears over five-hundred times in the Bible, so conspicuously absent here? Why “to pray” and not “how to pray?”
The Bride Making Herself Ready
Current applications of church doctrines, once developed and applied with good intentions, are now doing more harm than good. Suggestion: Christian leaders should suspend the application of church doctrine in its current forms and functions until those doctrines have been retested against the doctrine of Christ.
Hope in the Wilderness
As a Baby Boomer and oftentimes leader in the old forms of church, I have given much prayerful thought to the predicament of my generation. The bad news is: The old forms of the institutional church have come to their end. The good news: The new forms will be influenced by the old to become exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask or think, according to the power that works in those chosen by God to create and participate in them. #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting
The Wonder of Obedience
Much like Christmas, obedience observed and practiced with the right attention becomes a wonder and a joy. But what do we mean by wonder? #iamjustthepen #inLightConsulting
inLight Adventure Newsletter – Second Half Encouragement
And so, it seems that now – in the middle of the storms – we should encourage ourselves, that we not grow weary in doing good (2Thessalonians 3:13). That is the objective of this newsletter.
