I saw the article on CNN's website about the interview that Piers Morgan had with Joel & Victoria Osteen and I had to comment on what I read. Piers Morgan & Joel Osteen Finally! Joel admits that something is a sin! He didn't come out strongly, but it is a start. We can proclaim something as being a sin without condemnation and I feel that Joel actually did that to a degree by continually pointing to the scripture which is exactly how we should do it, but we should be confident in the Word as it stands. Joel was also asked about prosperity and to a great deal I agree with what he said. There is nothing wrong with having money as long as you love God more. There is a spirit (I believe) that is in the church today that tells us that if we have money we are sinful and that we need to be in lack in order to be holy. I strongly believe that as long as God is first in your life and that you use your money to bless others then God is pleased. Why else would He say "...
Scaffolding never stays on a completed structure. When a building is being built cranes, scaffolding, temporary elevators, service roads and temporary utilities are throughout the site, but as the building reaches each state of completeness these temporary things are removed and fall away. God has placed people in our lives to build us up for a season or to break us in order for us to be shaped i n the way that God has intended for us to be in.

The jobs we lose, the homes we leave and the relationships that don't pan out were meant to transform us and not scar us. The trials w...
You know, it has been a crazy year. 2020 will go down as one of those years in human history as being unforgettable. There has been loss, pain, suffering and so much more. Sadly, the year hailed as the year of "clear vision" has revealed that the Body of Christ is being illuminated like never before. Let me explain as we go to the Word of God... And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you. -- II Chronicles 18:19-22 NKJV For a while now I...
