Leaders influence people toward behaviors consistent with their destinies. Hebrews 10:25 says, “Intentionally motivate one another to love and good behaviors.” The sense of the word “stimulate” would include poking someone with a sharp stick in a way that stirs them to move in a certain direction. In this metaphoric sense, the “stimulation” comes by […]
“Jezebel his wife said to Ahab (her husband and Israel’s king), Do you not govern Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be happy. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.” Jezebel whispers,”Trust me. I’ll get you what you want.” She has uncanny ways of being available for people with a […]

Shared values and beliefs shape shared behaviors. What we believe has consequences. What we value orders our lives. In a culture, values and beliefs shared by the group influence and motivate […]
Dr Don: Jesus says, “I will put My ekklesia together. Hell’s positioned authorities will not be able to withstand that expansion.” The term He uses means “called together into assembly.” The King of the kingdom calls together His assembled citizens to function in kingdom authority.
