Have you caught the force of God's wind for you for this year? This decade? While I think that vision and plan like an airline itinerary is probably the exception, I do believe that because God wants us to regularly come to Him for loving communion and Kingdom...
I am so excited! IHOP just did something truly fabulous and incredible!!! (yes The Prayer Room web stream is now free...which is totally cool...but that's not it). I have to back up a little bit... In 1999, we did our YWAM training (DTS) in Hainichen, Germany. Almost...
This is the time of year when we reflect and hear from the Lord about His heart for the coming 12 months. (God Himself is not bound by time, but He gives it to us as a gift to keep us on the journey with Him and to help us move "from glory to glory" [2 Cor 3:18]. So,...
Oral Roberts: R.I.P 1918-2009 I graduated from Oral Roberts University so my connection with Oral Roberts is perhaps slightly more direct than most people's. I have a little more context to understand this fairly enigmatic man, but I believe it's what I've been...

Yesterday, several of us who are involved in leading worship at our church had a time of targeted prayer for a worship team of junior high students at Olivia's school. This was the 2nd such time of prayer that we've had for young worshipers in the last few days. We...
I'm not quite sure where all this topic will go, and I'll probably write a few posts about it as I think it requires a multi-faceted exploration. These musings were provoked by some blog posts by Martin Scott a couple of months ago. He posited stewardship as the...
I really like this teaching from Bill Johnson. It's not that it reveals a great truth, but it reveals how great truth is acquired and implemented in our life. It's a sort of primer on how God reveals Himself in "layers" and how a new depth of truth will often appear...
