We must be something before we do something. People today desire leaders to whom they can relate— those who are real and who serve in humility before Christ; those who are not afraid to reveal their weaknesses, knowing that others will work with them to compensate for their deficiencies. They know that in return they will help others to utilize the many talents and gifts God has given them. These leaders are necessary for the growth and health of the church. It is these kinds of leaders who have the confidence to synergize together with other leaders to reach their communities for Christ. Synergistic leaders are not consumed with “territories”…

More than two thousand years ago, Mankind nailed his Maker on a cross of wood. On that horrific day, the devil laughed, the people sneered and the Father turned His back on his Son. Jesus Christ did not die and rise again for a percentage of the world, but for the whole world. While Jesus was dying on the cross, there were many miracles that happened to demonstrate Why Good Friday is Good. Easter is God’s grace for the human race. As we approach Good Friday, consider Why Good Friday is Good. According to Matthew 27:45-54, when Jesus died on the cross: He touched the sun. In Him, we have…

The Christian life is not so high that you can reach it; it’s so low that you get down to it. An ordinary person who surrendered to the Lord can understand how to live the victorious life. You don’t have to have a Ph.D.; you don’t have to learn Greek and Hebrew to learn what we’re going to learn in this chapter. The Bible is such a wonderful book. It is shallow enough that a little child can come and get a drink without fear of drowning, and so deep that scholars can swim in it and never touch bottom. We read in Colossians chapter 2:1-10: For I want you…

In the Western world, there is a mindset that Jesus is not enough. Untold numbers of people believe that people need more than Jesus Christ. In other words, they are not convinced that Jesus is all they need. For many, they believe that Jesus plus something else equals everything a person needs. The book of Colossians takes an altogether contradictory view to this particular philosophy. The book of Colossians says that Jesus Christ plus anything else equals nothing. These verses we are studying are the key verses of the book of Colossians and it makes it very clear that all fullness and completeness are found in the Lord Jesus Christ….

The Global Church Network® Synergizing & Mobilizing The Whole Body of Christ To Finalizing The Great Commission The Global Church Network continues to synergize, and mobilize in order to finalize the Great Commission.

More than 200 years ago, Missionary David Livingston’s heart was buried in Africa. In those days, Africa was called the dark continent, but today the largest Christian population on any continent resides there. It is estimated by 2035, that Africa will become the first Christian continent. The Gospel is headed north, to the place where it all began 2000 years ago! We will be fortunate to host the FINISH West Africa Summit next week in Accra, Ghana. Presently, there are leaders coming from 15 nations. More information is provided below. We are praying for a sweeping, weeping and repeating revival to occur throughout West Africa. If you are interested in…

Since its inception, the Billion Soul movement and the Global Church Network have centered around pastors and local churches. When we started we often said, “The most important person in every community on earth is not the governor, the congressman, the senator or even the President. The most important person in every community is the local, Spirit-filled pastor. As goes the pastor, so goes the community.” We are not about steeples, but peoples; not about fame but faith; not about money but the Master; not about spending but investing; not about net worth, but network; not about philosophers but practitioners; not about only the reached but the unreached; not about…

The priority of the minister’s life will determine the power of his or her evangelism. When the biographies of ministers God used in the past are studied, the common denominator of prominence was their priority on prayer. Mighty men and women of God will have a consistent quiet time with God. I am thrilled to announce that Mrs. Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer Task Force, in Washington, D.C, is now serving as the CoChair/Global Prayer in the Global Church Network. In the days ahead, she will be providing strategic leadership in the mobilizing of pastors and their respective congregations to pray toward the fulfillment of the…

For some time, I have been desiring to write about How To Dress for Stress. It is important because most of us, are dealing in these desperate, dangerous days with stress. A machine that runs has what is called revolutions, like your automobile engine, revolutions per minute. This is called RPM. However, it is not the RPMs that wear out the engine; it is the friction that wears out the engine. With this image in mind, I want to teach how to dress for stress or the secrets to taking the stress out. Millions of people suffer from Chronic Stress Syndrome. This means that people are emotionally depleted, physically drained,…
