I have often been asked the question of, “what is a non-denominational church?”  Maybe you’ve wondered what a non-denominational church is.  What do they believe?  Why are they the fastest growing churches in America today?  The assumptions that many have about non-denominational churches are very broad.  I can remember once someone thought we were from a different culture because of a logo of the world we had on our sign out front.  I can recall someone not believing we were a church because of our building not being the typical church building.  All have been far from the truth.

Being a non-denominational Christian church simply means read the rest of this post »

Many believers have made the mistake of putting the “cart before the horse” when it comes to the promises of God. They are quick to step out on faith, not realizing that faith only works by love (Galatians 5:6). It doesn’t matter how many scriptures you stand on, how hard you pray or how much seed you sow; your heart’s desires will not manifest themselves in your life if you have not first cultivated the fruit of love. read the rest of this post »

Did you know that you have been authorized by God?  By that I mean that you have been given power, or divine authority, to rule every situation and circumstance you encounter.  Having continual victory over the devil depends on whether or not you understand your position in Christ and appropriate the power that has been given to you.

As a child of God, you have been translated out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of God’s Son, Jesus.  You are no longer subject to the law of sin and death that governs the world’s system.  As an unbeliever, you had no choice but to submit to Satan’s rule; you were under his jurisdiction and had no authority over him.  However, read the rest of this post »

I think all of us want the best for our children. Over the past week I have thought a lot about my kids. After seeing the constant reports this week on the news of missing kids, abused kids, children that were taken tragically from this world, it made me realize just how important my kids are to me. Again, all of us want the best for our kids; we want them to grow up serving God, living for him, loving him and those around them. But how do we achieve it? What is our part in all of this?

Do you remember playing with Play Doh when you were a kid?  It was fun to be able to make something out of the colorful clay and then proudly display it as a work of art.  While it was fun to see the final product, the real work began when you grabbed a handful of the dough and began to form it into the object of your choice.  You could pinch, shape, press and mold it into whatever you wanted and there wre no limits to the creations you could come up with.  In the same way, God wants your life to be like putty, or Play Doh in His hands.  When we become like moldable clay, we allow ourselves to be formed into His image and put on display by Him for everyone to see. read the rest of this post »
