There shall be showers of blessings. (Ezekiel 34:26)The goodness, kindness, and blessings of God did not "start" when we repented of our sins and came to Christ-because it was the goodness and mercy of God that "led us" to repentance.Romans 2:4 says that we did not know that it was the goodness and forbearance of God that leads us to repentance. This is due to the fact that before our conversion, our "spiritual birth," or our born-again experience,...

Do you feel overwhelmed by the people you influence pressured to always be ready with an answer and a quick decision? Much burnout today stems from a false premise that to be effective to be a leader means to have it all figured out. Contrary to popular opinion, the kind of transformation we seek in our ministry, our leadership, and our everyday lives is not driven by answers. Look at Jesus: The wisest person to ever walk the earth almost never offered...

The great evangelist, Ravi Zacharias, had been a pretender for decades. The influential apostle to the Academy had built a self-named empire by claiming for himself academic credentials that he did not have. He told fans and donors that he was "a professor at Oxford" and a "visiting scholar at Cambridge." He told them that he had been "educated in Cambridge," where he had studied quantum physics under the renowned John Polkinghorne. He told them he...

What is the church's mission in the 21st century? Malaysian apostle and missiologist Dexter Low says "nation transformation" must become our new agenda for fulfilling the Great Commission in our time.

True leadership comes from the inside out, not the top down. The way we lead and influence people, in a ministry context, is not only by our words, decisions, directives or position, but also by the authenticity and example of our lives. It's about who we are within. It's about leading ourselves so we can effectively lead others. It's exercising leadership in and over our own lives. This is called 'self-leadership'. This book is about 'self-leadership'-the...

When it comes to leadership books, we find a vast sea of titles. How is this book any different? The answer is simple. This is not a book for those who want a highly controlled environment. This is a book for those longing for the biblical reality of New Covenant-styled leaders. New Covenant leaders are servant-hearted, vulnerable, affectionate, openhearted and transparent. They don't talk about covering or being under spiritual authority, rather...
