There is a myth that you get all the Holy Spirit you could ever want or need when you are saved, but that’s not true. You can receive more of the Holy Spirit by being baptized in the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. When you speak in tongues, you are personally strengthened, and it’s the reason we all should want all of the Holy Spirit we can g…

If you were asked if you consider yourself a loving person, what would you say? Many of us would say we are loving, but the world we live in today promotes a warped and twisted view of love that does not line up with what God says love is. Love is not strong affection, sexual attraction, or blind affirmation. Love isn’t either what we say it is but…

God uses all of us together to make up a healthy and effective body. Yet, so often, in the body of Christ, just like in every relationship you’ve ever had, you struggle to value those who are gifted differently than you. It’s not because you are a particularly bad person but because you are human. This is what happened at the church in Corinth and …

As we prepare to explore the Gifts of the Spirit, it is important to do foundation work on who the gift giver is. So, who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is not wind, but he’s like the wind.

1 Corinthians 11 discusses head coverings and headship, which can be confusing for many people. It seems to say that everyone should cover their heads, but we also need to consider the time and culture at the time it was written. Looking at other parts of the Bible and this passage, we can see that it’s about more than just covering your head. Ther…

What if God is not as opposed to obscurity as we are? What if obscurity isn’t as bad as we think it is? Many of us want to escape obscurity, while God might desire to use it to do something in us. We might be trying to sprint from the pastures to the palace, and we’re running from the place God wants to use to do work in our hearts. God is a God wh…

We are living in the age of perpetual offense, where we’re quick to judge, quick to criticize, quick to condemn, and quick to cancel anyone who offends us.

How many of us ask God for special treatment? When we hold on to assumptions on how God should be healing us we might be rejecting solutions because we don't like that it's not be the easy way to do something. If we're obedient to God, and begin to humble ourselves, and listen to the Holy Spirit, we open the door to the miraculous work of God. Lean…

When you have an anointing from God, there will be side effects. It may not be what you expect, but the anointing will enable and empower you to do things that would not be possible without God’s help or strength. We see this when David was anointed as the future King of Israel. When David was first anointed, he didn’t immediately become King. Stil…

Marriage is a sacrificial and mutually beneficial commitment between one man and one woman for one lifetime. That is how God intended it.
