Legacy of Love
Those who write about leadership seem dedicated to defining the crown of effective leadership as “leaving a legacy.” Some writers suggest five, seven or 10 levels of leadership progression, with the last being legacy leadership. The dangling carrot for a leader is to do something, build something or say a lot of somethings that outlast …

Wide-Angle Lens
I enjoy photographing birds. I especially like to capture them in flight. Often when I’m out watching birds, I have a powerful telephoto lens on my camera. I can zoom in on a bird from relatively far away and capture a stunning image of God’s creation. Sometimes, from the corner of my eye, I notice …

What Do You Seek?
One sunny Saturday afternoon in St. Louis, Missouri, near my 10th birthday, the doorbell rang, and my dad did two things I had never seen him do before: He got up from his recliner and answered the door. My sister and I looked at each other in full-on shock and awe. The deeper surprise? He …

Keyword Search
Around the age of 20, I discovered the best keyword tool on earth. And it has nothing to do with Google searches. Keep reading and I’ll reveal it. To improve my search engine optimization skills, I’ve been re-studying the use of keywords for the last several weeks. I’ve studied keyword tools in the past. Not …

Decision Making
Leaders must make decisions in the midst of uncertainty. We rarely possess enough time, facts or prophetic input to bring certainty to a course of action. Effective leaders seek first to understand. They work hard to consider every possible outcome of the pending decision. I’ve learned to exert extra caution when I’m presented with a …

Burning in the Spirit
I submitted a theme in an English Composition class one day in which I described watching a house burn down. I received a Pavlovian reward in the form of an A, but a question my teacher posed disturbed me: “Does a house burn up or burn down?” That question burned me up for years. I …

What Government Said About the Bible
I had the privilege to interview Robert J. Morgan last week in our studio. His grandson Luke was with him, and we had a divine appointment to discuss his new book, The Jordan River Rules. My time with Morgan propelled me back into his bestselling book, 100 Bible Verses That Made America. When I first …

Burning in the Spirit
In Joseph Mattera’s book, The Jesus Principles (available here at a 50% discount), he asks seven questions to help readers determine if their walk with God is fully directed or set adrift. Because I feel the book makes a powerful impact on living and working in the presence of the Lord, I felt it important …

Are You Drifting?
Check your frustration levels. Sometimes we all feel as though we are drifting through our work, our relationships and our spiritual walk. Some of us haven’t recovered from the multiple impacts caused by COVID. Things simply feel harder. Progress comes with more struggles, more effort and many more distractions. Some days, it just feels as …

Revival Stopper
True revival is on the way. As a pastor, I’ve said it. As a believer, I see it. As a publisher, I read about it in issues of Charisma like this one and on our online outlets. Here, you’ll find many fascinating stories of pockets, movements, even waves of revival breaking out in the United …

Prayer Binge
“Then He came and found them sleeping and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not keep watch one hour?” (Mark 14:37). I don’t pray enough. I came to this startling conclusion after a recent binge-watching experience. There was nothing wrong with the show, but there was plenty wrong with how much time …

Foolish Obedience
It seems so long ago that my wife and I ministered in parking lots in the Baton Rouge area with our newly launched church. At age 19, married and on fire for Jesus, we joined a church team and spent Saturdays asking grocery shoppers if they knew Jesus. There, God taught me many lessons that …

Why We Must Be Intentionally Intergenerational in Ministry
It was only a five-minute encounter. But that brief meeting changed my life. I’ve written before about Dr. Charles Green and what I now know was our divine appointment. It happened when his son Michael and I, both 17-year-old high school seniors, made a quick stop by the Word of Faith Temple. Our choir would …

The Key Element That Can Preserve the Unity of Christ
We make a subtle choice when we enter a meeting. We choose unity or division by our words and body language. Pause for a moment to consider how Christ would join our meeting. We don’t have to stretch too far to understand the impact of that question. Add this verse to your consideration: “We have …
