Personal Generosity
Several pastors have complained to me that most people in their churches are not generous. I’m guessing that the churches are a reflection of its leaders. If our ministries aren’t generous, it is probably because we aren’t either. Several years ago, God started moving our family toward a muc...

Fasting From Church Stuff
For years I tried to learn from and be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I met a new leader, I tried to become more like them. A few years ago though, God led me to do something very different. (I'm not ne...

Avoid Promises

Good Social Media or a Prideful Heart?
We know God opposes the proud. But some forms of social media seem to have redefined what pride is and what it’s not. For example: Imagine if I stood before our church and repeated things I had heard others say: “Joe Smith said, ‘Pastor Craig, you are the best preacher ever! Your sermons cha...
