Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

join me in Israel

Once again I am headed back to Israel this weekend, and I am excited about being able to be there with a large group of pastors, to walk where Jesus walked and to experience something that will impact my teaching and ministry. That is why I will ask you to stop and pray. Pray today and in the days to come. Psalm 122;6-9 NLT Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. 7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.” 9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. We could have a long conversation and in so many different veins about the Jewish people, the nation of Israel and about faith. But what I would rather do is point you to Scripture and simply ask you to pray. Ask God for the safety of His people, people all over the world. Pray for Israel....

hold on to the promises

We concluded our series “like Him” at church yesterday, and I am reminded of all the things that Peter taught us in his first letter. But what sticks out the most is that faith and his time with Jesus impacted Peter’s life forever. God has do that for all of us who know Him and who follow Him. The promises are ours. Keep them close. Don’t let a day go by that you don’t thank God. 2 Peter 1:4 NLT And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. His promises are for us, and they are great. Yes, there will be struggles. Yes, there will be things we do not understand, but His promises are for us! 2 Corinthians 1:7 NLT We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us. The struggles will not last. And the st...
