Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” The wonderful thing about doing this is that you can set off chain after chain of positive events. Some call it the Butterfly Effect. One small thing you do can have repercussions all around the world. Whatever positive actions you want […]
What is a Daniel Fast? I’ve had so many readers ask me about fasting. I have some problems teaching it because people often use fasting to almost bend God to their will. That’s really missing the point. We have to fast with the right attitude. Jesus spoke to His disciples saying…”When you fast…” so fasting should be […]
Here’s another question from a RevTrev reader. I encourage people to read the Bible daily in order to live LOVED. Question I would like to get suggestions on how to develop better habits of bible study. How do you recommend a person get into a routine of digging deeper into scripture so that it has […]
Ten Things The Devil Can’t Do Last week I wrote about the Ten Things God Can’t Do so today I thought we’d look at ten things the devil can’t do. The devil can’t keep you fearful.

10 Things God Can’t Do Most of you are reading this thinking, “Nothing is impossible with God.” And you’re right. This is more of a clever play on words than a theological treatise.

Wounds Well Healed It was just over a year ago I was in a church to help launch a 40 day fast from negativity. I was going to explain the concept of “gravitas.” This description comes from M. Craig Barnes “The Pastor as Minor Poet” p. 49 It [gravitas] speaks to a soul that has […]
Why do the christians believe that Jesus is god not a Messenger? Answer: Another excellent question. I’ll do my best to answer it for you. First let’s look at how the Qur’an talks about Jesus. How does the Bible record what Jesus said about himself? “At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he […]
Question: Is Mohamed mentioned in the Bible? Answer: Mohamed was alive six hundred years after Jesus and three hundred years after the Bible was codified. So the only way he’d be included would be in a prophecy. Now I know the Gospel of Barnabas has Jesus prophesying Mohamed was to come, [Jesus confessed and said […]
Question: Why don’t the Christians include the gospel of Barnabas? Answer: We need to first understand how the Bible came to be, what the Gospel of Barnabas is, and how it relates to both the Bible and the Qur’an. First off, the Bible was codified in stages. The Hebrew scriptures were differentiated by Jewish leaders […]
I’ve received a number of great questions from a Muslim reader who seems genuinely interested in finding out more about Christianity. I’m humbled to be asked these questions and I’ve taken my time to answer them the best I can. Here is the first one. Question: I don’t understand how God can consist of three […]
Many of our views of abundance come from an orphan or wounded spirit. Matthew 6 Jesus is teaching his sermon on the mount. A big part of chapter 6 deals with why we shouldn’t worry, specifically about money. Jesus is addressing the orphan spirit that many of us have. It’s allows us to worry about […]
