Are we in a New Season?
Are we in a New Season? Is God doing something new? I and many others are sensing we are stepping into a new season and it is causing us to evaluate everything we do in light of this. Many of us have sought to do our best over the years of our ministry – to…

Humble Yourself Western Church
Is the western church arrogant? There is much to suggest we are – but peel back our glossy covers and we are likely to see some unimpressive realities.
