The role of the Church is to be light in the midst of darkness. She is not to conform to the world but to reflect the purposes of the Lord in a culture that resists Him. Join me this week as I share some important truths about the role of followers of Jesus and how that we must be willing to be different in the world that we are in.

A vision from the Lord instilled into the heart of an individual is more than a noble idea or endeavor. When the Lord instills His mandate into our hearts, we are never the same again. As we study the lives of those who impacted their generation with the Gospel, we behold those who faithfully fulfilled their holy calling. Join me on "Maintain the Flame" this week as I share on the subject of "Embracing & Stewarding a God-Birthed Vision."

There is a direct connection between a life of holiness and joy. Despite the fact that many misunderstand and even misinterpret the Biblical definition of holiness, the fact remains that we are called to live a life of righteousness, obedience, and holiness. Join me on "Maintain the Flame" this week and prepare to be deeply encouraged and challenged as I share on the theme, "The Joy of Holiness."

There is a trap that many believers fall into. This place is one of living a life void of transparency. When we cease to be transparent before the Lord, others, and even ourselves, it is then that the enemy can get a foothold and eventually cause destruction. However, there is divine grace available to those who chose to live open before the Lord. Join me this week on "Maintain the Flame" as I share some vital truths that will help you to live in freedom and to walk in righteousness.

The life of Samuel was one of divine interruption. He shows up on the scene in Israel during a season of darkness, compromise, tolerated perversion among the high priest Eli's sons, etc. His very presence represented the Word of God, and his prophetic calling was one based on righteousness, the worship of the God of Israel alone and an adherence to the requirements of God's precepts among His people. This week on Maintain the Flame I share Part 1 of a message recently preached at a Church in Charlotte, NC entitled, "A Divine Interruption." Be prepared to be challenged and encouraged by what you hear.

The Bible is very clear in James the first chapter that sin has a cycle to it. The fact is that when one acts on their lustful desires there is a door that opens that many times leads to bondage and even death. This is clearly true for people who do not follow Jesus. However, even among those who profess Jesus as Lord, there is still a pathway that can lead to sin, which when matured can even cause spiritual shipwreck as the Apostle Paul mentions. This week be prepared to be challenged by what you hear in this message entitled, "Full Grown Sin."

To be a follower Jesus means that our lives must consist of a mindset that is eternal. Our passion, focus, and agenda must consist of a view that is altogether eternal. We must refuse to become intertwined with the spirit of this age and do as Paul instructs in Colossians 3:2 by "setting our minds on things above..." Be prepared to be challenged and encouraged this week as you listen to a message entitled, "Living in the Light of Eternity."

Despite the darkness that has encompassed our world, the role of the church is to shine the light of God's love and truth while refusing to draw back. This week prepare to be encouraged and challenged as I share Pt. 2 of a message entitled, "Perseverance."

The life of a follower of Jesus is one of deep joy and contentment. However, there are trials that we face due to the fact that Jesus is the Lord of our lives. Also, he allows us to face challenges and it is during these times that we learn how pressure produces enlargement in God's kingdom. List to this week's "Maintain the Flame" podcast and learn how trials lead to eternal glory.

In every generation, there are those that respond to the unbiblical cultural conditions and awaken to the truths of God's Word. These individuals refuse to compromise, and they dare to stand in opposition to the ungodly societal norms.

Prepare to be impacted deeply and awakened to God's heart in this challenging hour of history as you listen.

We must impact others through our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not enough to teach others learned behavior patterns even if those patterns are noble.

Throughout history, individuals have been used by the Lord in the arena of prayer and intercession. These individuals have shouldered the heart of God Himself and as a result, there have been glorious seasons of visitation and revival. This week I share some important thoughts on "Standing in the Gap." Be prepared to be encouraged and challenged by what you hear.

James 1:15 declares the following, "Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death." Here we behold a cycle that eventually results in death. The sad reality is that we live in an hour where sin is not only tolerated, it is oftentimes now celebrated. Listen to this week's message that I recently shared in a service in Canada and be prepared to be challenged and stirred.

A primary mandate upon our lives is to make disciples of Jesus Christ who in turn do the same. We must not fail in this holy task and our willingness to pass the baton to the next generation is paramount. Join me this week on my Maintain the Flame podcast and be prepared to be encouraged and challenged as I share on the important subject of "Generational Vision."

Our Christian walk should not be lived in the past exclusively. However, Scripture is clear that we must remember the works of our God from generation to generation. We must also deliberately instill these realities into future generations.
