Your Baseline
In addition to being a revival speaker, I work in Information Technology. One of my favorite tools used in IT is what is known as a baseline. A baseline is a set of data that tells a company what their environment usually looks like. It gives IT a measure by which to know when things […]
Message Preview: The Job Factor
Form time to time REvive Ministries will share previews of sermons that may be shared at one of our revivals. This is intended to serve several purposes. First, it gives individuals attending churches that will host a REvive Ministries revival a chance to read part of a sermon they may hear during the revival. Second, […]
The Word
Jesus Christ is the Word. The Word is Scripture. Christ in us is the hope of glory. So, what really does all of this mean? Several thousand years ago, and even several hundred years ago, most people didn’t have a personal copy of the entire Word of God. Early in history the Word was not […]
RE-surrection!
The resurrection is the exclamation point of history. There is no other event to compare with it. Christ stands again, to accomplish what nobody else could.

Quality Time

Cain’s Kids
My wife and I had an interesting conversation this morning about Cain’s children. We both had wondered why it is that the children of Cain seem to be the ones really making a difference in the world.
