Many pastors preach sermons about the love of Christ. Often, we hear that Jesus loves us. This is most definitely true. However, when did you last feel the love of Christ compel you?

I once heard Bishop Tony Miller say, “Success is intentional”. He went on to explain that people who are successful sought success intentionally. We don’t really like the word ‘discipline’ but it’s something we need if we want to be successful or have victory in our lives. You can’t just expect that success will come to your
One of the strongest battlefields for the enemy is our mind. It is his strategic place to keep us off guard and away from the things that God has for us. With our minds we doubt, are anxious, think evil thoughts, all of which take away the peace that God wants us to have. If we want
