The Father gave Jesus followers…

You have given me some followers from this world ~ John 17:6 (CEV)

Jesus knew who they were because the Father told Him… Continue Reading…

Un-met Expectations can KILL! You know the feeling… You were expecting with all of your heart for "this", instead you got "That!" We all have expectations, we have them in marriage, kids, team mates, weather, restaurants and friends..etc…

The problem is Continue Reading…

How you lead is important, but even more important is what you lead "in." Most leaders lead in wisdom. They look, pray, seek counsel and then lead in the direction they feel is most wise.

But the wisdom from above Continue Reading…

Are you different? I mean when someone outside of the Kingdom has the opportunity to get to know you…What makes you different? Or is there really no difference in what they see in you and say… the Muslim, Buddhist or moral driven individual that is loving, kind and generous.

What should they see? Continue Reading…

Never underestimate the power of unity. I’m not talking about unity in your church, but with your spouse. When God put the two of you together, He made the two of you ONE. You don’t have four-legs now, you only have two.

The importance of you and your spouse walking in unity will make or break all that God has in store for you. Your calling is not just yours, one leg can’t run a race. If you have a call, then you both have a call! If you don’t agree with that, you are on borrowed time. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." My wife recognizes my call Continue Reading…

You are called my God to be a mover. You have probably heard your whole life that "you have to move with God." That is true! But your greatest call is to move OTHERS!

It’s so easy to become so focused on ourselves and how we are doing in our journey with God. Am I reading enough, praying enough, serving in the right place…Blah Blah Blah. That mind set puts our eyes on us and there’s no room left to focus on others.

We are called by God to "Go and make Followers of everyone, everywhere." That means we have to be intentionally moving others toward Continue Reading…

We are changing what we measure at Cornerstone. I think we should measure 1-Thing…

Movement

I see Jesus taking the disciples through a process:

1. Find Jesus Continue Reading…

I have seen many great leaders have the same trait…Rebellion. I mean at one point for a period of time in their lives they were rebellious. I think rebellion is the seed from which many godly leaders are sprouted. Rebellion is having… Continue Reading…

"I have a Rocket Ship." Really? "Has it ever flown?" NO! "Well, it’s not a Rocket ship." Yes it is, I built it, and says right on the side, "Rocket Ship."

Somethings can carry a label, but when tested it becomes obvious it’s not authentic. What is advertised is not really what’s on the inside. It’s the same with anything we carry in life.

We are so quick to say… Continue Reading…

The expectations of a Pastor or Christian leader or many times unattainable. We are "expected" to act, think, speak, react, plan, budget, raise kids, have a marriage, counsel, lead, encourage, and O yeah…Preach to perfection.

I think we all know these are unrealistic, and these kind of expectations have destroyed so many promising leaders’ future… Continue Reading…
