Is anything more beautiful than freedom? One of our founding fathers, Patrick Henry, said: "Give me liberty or give me death!" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Give_me_liberty,_or_give_me_death! In a way, Jesus Christ said the opposite: "Give Me death, so I can give you liberty!" Amen? I found a beautiful Kingdom POWER resource last night. I planned to blog about it this morning. Except...
A lot of "wanna be" power surrounded the Titanic. Prideful boasting: The greatest of all ships! Unsinkable! Oh, well. So much for prideful boasts. But isn't that the point? "... the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts... The tongue also is... a world of evil among the parts of...
Kingdom POWER advances whenever Christians stand by faith in the face of opposition. History records that faith spreads explosively in the face of harsh persecution. Jack Phillips stood by faith when he declined to use his artistic abilities to create a masterpiece cake celebrating a same-sex marriage. After six years of expensive legal losses and...
What self-respecting military bootcamp would ever market a course entitled "The Power of Weakness" as the essential foundation for Victory in battle? None. That's a fact.

Allen Ginsberg, one of the 20th century's most influential poets, was a founding father of the revolutionary countercultural Beat Movement. He...

And the path to sustainability directs us inevitably toward acceptable returns on the assets we deploy. Whether it's people, money or time, our corporate sphere of influence is best served when all of our assets are fully engaged...
I heard a Latin phrase years ago. In Latin, it was meaningless to me. Its translation? A Game Changer. Fiat Justicia et Pereat Mundus... Do the right thing, come what may. This is foundational to one of my favorite movies, Come What May, The Kingdom POWER lessons here are many and profound. I highly recommend it to anyone...
What do we really believe? A profound question. Because whatever we believe informs what we will do. The Lord calls us to be powerful witnesses of all He represents and holds dear. To move in power far beyond our own. "For man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26) "You will...
It's the oath for courtroom witnesses. To tell The Truth. The Whole Truth. Nothing but The Truth. A worthy oath. Attorney Nicolle Martin agrees. Ever heard of her? Me neither... until I received an email from an organization I greatly respect -- the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). Here's how Kristin Waggoner, Senior V.P. of ADF's...
