To Them Who Are Without: Colossians Series #9
I am sure you know someone who has had cancer. It will be good news indeed when the medical world finds the solution to this tremendous problem and is able to devise means to deal with the disease of cancer. I wonder if it could be possible for a scientist who has found the cure for cancer and yet took that information and buried it, refusing to share the cure with the world. It would be a crime, wouldn’t it? A person like that would probably be prosecuted. It would be criminal to have good news about a cure for a disease like cancer and not share the cure with…
Read MoreFriends For The Finish: Colossians Series #8
We are going to learn that it takes many people, just average ordinary people, like you and me to get the work of the Lord done. The Bible says that we are laborers together with God. It’s wonderful to know that God will use average people to do unordinary, out-of-the-average kinds of things for the Lord. Paul is one of the most famous personages in history. What we may not know is that there were a number of people who were associated with Paul in his work, who were vital and indispensable to the work of the Lord which God did through him. Paul had a way of showing his…
Read MoreThe Billion Soul Harvest: Moving From Influence To Impact
I believe leadership is more than influence. Leadership must have impact. Imagine if you had spent the afternoon fishing in a lake or even an ocean. When you returned, someone asked you, “How did your afternoon go? Yet, your answer to the person is, “I influenced a lot of fish.” That is not the answer the person wants to hear. He or she wants to know wether or not you caught any fish. Influence that does not ultimately lead to impact is simply information without inspiration. In this article, I will briefly share about two Korean leaders who have move beyond influence to impact. When I reflect over the life…
Read MoreForty Days Of Quadruple Growth Worldwide, Part Two
The Global Church Network continues to experience compounding quadruple growth worldwide. We synergized efforts together with Dr. Byoungho Zoh, Founder of Tongdok Bible App and Tongdok Bible Studies worldwide, for the launch of the Global Seoul Hub in Korea. More than 1,200 pastors and leaders attended, from throughout Korea. During the Seoul Hub, we heard life-changing presentations from Dr. Leonard Sweet, Dr. David Sobrepena, Rev. Ejaz Nabie, Dr. Calvin Tibbs, Dr. James Hudson Taylor IV, Dr. Hyoungbae Kim, Dr. Sunghoan Chun, Dr. Youngho Park and Dr. Euisig Kim. We had powerful times of praise and worship, along with intercessory prayer. From the first song, there was a “divine touch” upon the…
Read MoreTurning The Great Omission Into The Great Commission
I remember, in 2006, sitting in the actual place where Christopher Columbus set sail for the New World, and praying, “Lord, please double the size of the Church in my generation and make it harder for anyone to live on this earth and not hear the glorious Gospel.” In 2021, the number of believers among the Hassaniya Moors of Mali doubled. It is hard to describe the joy the team working among them felt, as well as friends, supporters, prayer partners, and mission leaders living far away. With the angels in heaven (Luke 15:10), we should rejoice. What is now the total number of believers among the Hassaniya? Two. I…
Read MoreTHREE BATTLES WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE
If you have tried to master any athletic skill, then you know that follow-through is crucial. Follow through is extremely important in basketball, baseball, football, tennis, racquetball, golf, bowling, along with many others. In fact, you cannot be successful in sports until you have mastered follow through. The principle of follow through is one of the most important principles in life. Not only is the principle of follow through particularly important in sports, but profoundly imperative in one’s spiritual life. In any endeavor, experience, or enterprise concerning spiritual things, follow through is of the utmost importance. One of the many lessons we have learned from the recent Iraqi war is that we could have…
Read MoreForty Days Of Quadruple Growth Worldwide, Part One
I am often reminded of the words of Dr. Suli Kurulo, Founder of World Harvest Center in Suva, Fiji, and Global Church Network CoChair/Oceania: “We must take the Great Commission literally, strategically, and seriously.” When I was fortunate to be with Dr. Kurulo in 2003, for the first time, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me, “It is no longer the West going to the Rest, but the Best around the world going to the Rest of the World.” We are living in the grandest moments throughout the Body of Christ. In the last forty days, the Global Church Network (GCNW.tv) has experienced quadruple, compounding growth worldwide. In August, 2023, the Global…
Read MoreThe Most Important Thirty Seconds: Colossians Series #7
Colossians sets forth for us the fullness of the Lord Jesus Christ and our completeness in Him. In Colossians 2:9-10, you find the heart and the center of what this particular book is trying to say to us. “For in him (Jesus) dwells all the fullness of the godhead bodily, and you (believers) are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power.” Our life makes sense, when we understand the fullness of Christ and understand we are complete in Him. There are three overarching truths set forth in Colossians. First, in chapter 1, there is set forth the sufficiency of Christ. Second, chapter 2, sets forth…
