Many Christians are culturally programmed to feel guilty about wealth, but is poverty God's plan for us? Today I propose that God wants you to prosper in all things that are good, including business (and I have the verses to prove it).

Some time ago, I wrote a blog post about the true secret of my success in business – Jesus Christ. It’s one of the most popular posts on my blog. In that post, I explained that I would no longer separate my business life from my faith life.

As of today (Saturday, November 21), there are only 40 days left until January 1, 2016. Chances are, if you are like me, you have some goals you set way back in January of this year (2015) that you haven't achieved yet. Most people would just give up at this point and say something like, “Well, next year will be different.” Bull! When has next year ever been different for you?

Bill Johnson discusses how he deals with loss, pain and disappointment. What do we do when the healing, the miracle, or the answer to prayer, doesn't come?

We spend our lives trying to “get things done”, thinking that will make us happy/fulfilled/significant/complete. (Or maybe it's just me that suffers from this illusion. I don't mean to presume.)

Yesterday I preached a sermon called, “The 5 Doors of Destiny” at Zion in Spokane, WA. You can hear that sermon here.

The Gospels – the first four books in the Christian New Testament – are a unique form of literature, and of Scripture.

Frank Viola is a dear friend who also happens to be one of my favorite Christian authors. His book God's Favorite Place on Earth (2013) remains one of the most impactful books I have ever read. Today's post is an interview with Frank & Mary DeMuth on their new book, The Day I Met Jesus.

It has been said that as Christians, we live under Grace and not under the Law. This is true, and I rejoice in it.

If you could actually receive guidance from God for your business, would it make a difference? And I don't mean only reading the Bible or a devotional, and getting some good principles for being moral and upright business people. What I mean is hearing God's voice guide you with specific advice, about your specific situation, problems, and opportunities.

Most of us have two faces we wear. The “public face”, which is carefully cultivated to give the best impression possible, and the “secret face”. The secret face is the person we really are, when no one is watching.

This is a Guest Post by Frank Viola, Frank is a friend I met during the last year. He is a prolific writer, and blogs at Beyond Evangelical. Frank is currently offering an online discipleship course that I highly recommend, and you can enroll here. The course closes December 31, so if you are interested you should take a look now.

For just over two years, I have wondered how to do this. I have written and rewritten this post many times. The time was never right. I was not ready. But I'm ready now.

As Christians, much of the suffering we endure is caused by condemnation. What is condemnation, exactly?

This is a guest post, written by Sean Edwards. Sean's passions include politics, economics, theology, eschatology, and the dynamic interplay of government and faith. You can read Sean's blog here. Sean also happens to be my son.

Perhaps you've heard talk about the “Seven Mountains”, or the “Seven Mountain Mandate, or “Seven Mountain Prophecy”. You may be wondering what this is all about. The idea is really quite simple: in our culture, there are Seven Mountains (think of them as “spheres” or simply “areas”) of influence, and the modern church is being called to build influence on each of those mountains.
