Who among us hasn’t heard all they want to hear about healthcare reform lately? Now I’m sure some of you are very interested and can’t get enough. Hey, I watch the news every night. But I’m ready to hear about something else. It never ceases to amaze me how Christians so evenly divide on political issues. I hate that, and you should too. I understand that God mandates our providing for the poor, and I want everyone to have affordable healthcare, but I keep hearing in my spirit the following verse – ”For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” (Jeremiah 2:13) Now I bet many of you think, “Byron, what on Earth does that have to do with healthcare?” Let me explain. From the beginning God had a healthcare system for humans. In fact, God never meant for humans to get sick and die. Think about it, would God create something that would get sick or break down and die? Of cour...

About three weeks ago my wife and I were in Mexico vacationing with her family. While there God clearly showed me that my time working for my father (the last 3.5 years) was over. The day after our return my dad told me that I need to find another job, that he's closing the company. The past weeks have given me time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. I began working for my father right out of law school. I guess I expected to help him run the company, thinking with my young, prideful mind. While he did have me run all of our new construction (a formidable task for someone with zero construction knowledge) I was essentially just another employee. My dad has been very successful, but working for him was not what I expected. We argued many times in the first months, and over the years I have occasionally prayed for the next season to arrive. Every time I found something fairly disagreeable I would ask God whether it was time to leave, but He always clearly said “Stay.” So...

Several weeks ago I had a dream in which my wife showed me a brown book which I knew was by Richard Dawkins (the famous scientist/evolutionist/ atheist). She asked me to do a blog post about it. When I awoke I searched his website and purchased (from a reseller) a copy of his brown book, A Devil's Chaplain. Why God wanted me to read the book I'm not sure, but I could say much. A Devil's Chaplain is a collection of Mr. Dawkins' essays, which range in topic from advanced evolution science/theory to his thoughts on education to his hatred of religion. As I read I kept hearing the voice of the wise Japanese warrior in the movie The Last Samurai saying, "to know my enemy." Now I know that we Christians war not against flesh and blood but against anything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Co 10:5, Eph 6:12). Therefore Mr. Dawkins' ideas and beliefs are my real enemy, not himself. Nevertheless I found his writing gripping and entertaining. He is ...

This site is dedicated to helping people do great things for God.  What have you done for God lately?  How has God used you?  Did you deliver a confirmation word to a praying preacher?  Did you give a pizza to someone who later revealed they had no food.  Did you lay hands on the sick and see them recover?  What did the Holy Spirit lead you to do?  We want to know about it.  God has prepared good works for us to walk in, we must find them and walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).  If we share our stories we can inspire others.  God has assignments for all Christians, and there is no thrill like knowing you have done something GOD asked you to do.  I will give you one quick personal example.  I went to law school at Emory in Atlanta.  While there God told me to start a Bible study.  He then told me to invite a Jewish professor to that study.  We had a good relationship, I did well in his classes, but he is Jewish.  ...

Now let's be honest, I've offended people before, and I'm sure it will happen again. But if you are a Christian, and you don't agree that Christianity is the only way to God, I believe you should at least hear me out. I'm sitting here thinking about what I want to say, and how to say it without offending. But if it's God's Words that I'm writing then I shouldn't be worried about offending. As Evangelic Diva wisely said on twitter today, “truth doesn't change.” “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” (Exodus 34:14) Let me start this way - I literally believe that I am going to live for eternity with God. I literally believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again and now lives in me. I literally believe that my name is written in Heaven, and God looks at me as His child. I literally believe that Jesus Christ is the only Name by which man can be saved (Acts 4:12). I also believe that all other go...

Are you a Christian that persecutes other Christians? Are you actually causing strife and disunity within the Body of Christ? You might be without even realizing it. Some people persecute the true children of God, and they even think they are doing God service. The Bible never said that these mistaken people wouldn't also call themselves Christians. As I write this blog I'm looking at myself more and more to decide what I love and what I hate. When you look at Proverbs 8:13 and Proverbs 9:10, and use a little algebra (if a=b and b=c then a=c), you find that the beginning of wisdom is the hatred of evil. I believe we have an evil in the body of Christ that I've grown to hate, and that is Christians persecuting Christians. Now it just so happens that I'm a fan of several big ministries. I physically sat in the church of Dr. Creflo Dollar for three years. There I also fell in love with the ministry of Kenneth Copeland . Recently I have partnered with Joyce Meyer's min...

Are you on fire for God? What does that mean anyway? It seems like I used to hear that phrase all the time. This person or that person would get saved, and then they would be all about church and the related events, and then people would say that person is "on fire for God." Certainly no one would have said that about me for the first 20+ years of my life. But a few years ago I was talking to a very close friend, and he said, and I couldn't believe it, "Byron, you are on fire for God." Let's first talk about my friend. This guy has been saved since birth (practically). He never strayed from the faith, not even during college, married a great Christian woman, and now lives a solid Christian life. And he's telling me that I'm on fire for God? I was talking to him on the phone about tithing and speaking in tongues and doing great things for God with our lives. But while he had always remained close to God, he lacked the fire? Christianity had become onl...
