I believe that God has been offering the Western church multiple opportunities to choose to be sheep instead of goats. To test whether we are in reality the kind that will hear Him say, “Enter into My rest” or the kind that will hear Him say, “Depart, for I never knew you.” These opportunities play …

Life is crazy. Full. Overwhelming. Confusing. Blissful. Stressful. You pick the adjective you want to use. You can probably add some different ones of your own. For me, it’s been a combination of the above.

My friend/pastor’s wife and I sang “The Power of Your Name” yesterday, and it’s really amazing …
