Pastors

Several years ago James Patterson and Peter Kim authored the book The Day America Told the Truth. They were shocked at their discovery. In this post, with a backdrop of their findings, I suggest five ways to deepen your integrity from the book of Daniel.

To evaluate is human. How you evaluate something is the difference between being harmful and helpful.

The Gospel is simply, gloriously and beautifully scandalous.

Success can ruin a ministry. I’ve seen it happen too many times. It sounds strange. We plan for success, we dream about success and—most importantly—we pray for success. Yet when it comes, we often self-destruct.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus was doing between the first Easter Sunday and his ascension six weeks later?

"For us, this is not about politics or free speech. It is about evil and the gospel that defeats it. The time to stand up—and speak up—is now."

Comparison is the thief of joy, and your theological training will be greatly hindered by comparing yourself to others.

How prepared are you for a divine interruption? I pray that you may come to expect, even long for, interruptions from two things: God and people.
