How Spiritual Staleness Has Invaded American Churches
American churches need the fresh wind of the Holy Spirit. How often do we hear, “It will change your life!” Don’t miss this moment, this book, this product, this service, because “It will change your life, and your purpose will be realized.” The phrase is so overused that no one expects change. “It will change …

The entertainment-driven church calculates success as attendance + programs + offerings x short attention span.

Is the Church Taming the Holy Spirit?
Is the church taming the Holy Spirit? I mean this in the classic sense of the word: “Make less powerful and easier to control.” It is easy to slip into depersonalizing the third member of the Trinity, God of the Holy Spirit. I see today’s church, and I wonder if we still value baptism in …

The Hypocritical Double Standards for Protests and Churches
Let’s address the elephant in the room. Is the church being asked to be silent by closing their doors? Would that be considered a part of voter suppression?

Spirit-Filled Pastor: Will America Choose Science or God?
Is the dysfunction of 2020 almost over? To me, the answer is obvious, automatic and intuitive. No. Protests in our streets are not shattering the demonic slavery of racism.
