Kris Vallotton: Does the Bible Contradict Itself?
For many people, it’s hard to understand that not only are there hundreds of contrasting Scriptures in the Bible, but also much of the Bible is God’s documentary on man and not God’s commentary on how to live life. Therefore when people say, “I live by every word in the Bible,” it’s not really true.

Prophetic Prayers That Influence Mindsets
Praying for our leaders leads to a quiet life, which creates an atmosphere for people to come to know God. First Peter 2:17 says, “Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.” The Heart of Nations I believe that nations have a heart. Social justice happens when the heart of the people of certain

Why You Need to Wait for Your Time
One challenge I see in the church is what I call “Eager Beavers.” It’s the pressure that many leaders feel to be “in vogue” with their peers. Let me explain.

The three parts of prophecy are Revelation, Interpretation, and Application. In order to be effective when we have a word for someone else, or we receive a prophetic word, we need to understand these three aspects of prophecy. Revelation What is God saying?
