calling, devotional, God, Jesus, kingdom, Prayer, Preparation, Purpose, spiritual growth

Prayer is a lot more than doing a devotional. Jesus modeled prayer as preparation for acceleration. Ever feel stuck? Stuck in a job you don’t like and seems to be going nowhere.

What I See God Doing Now

Stephen Woodrow

September 30, 2020

end times, God, Hope, Jesus, prophecy

I write this with some fear and trepidation.

culture, God, holiness, Jesus, relevance, reverence

When was the last time you had a serious discussion about holiness? When was the last time that you or someone you were talking to was deeply concerned about their holiness?

Inside every soul is the desire to prosper. Have you spent much time thinking about what makes you feel prosperous?

Escapism, entitlement and empty existentialism are emotionally and spiritually crippling our culture today.
