Leaders are readers
Leaders are readers and I believe everybody knows that. In this post I want to continue to encourage you to read books. In my previous posts, I did share that reading books is not something we do at the expense of the Bible. Leaders are readers I assume that the main preoccupation of a spiritual leader is to […]
God has a specific plan for you
God has a specific plan for your life—do you know that? Maybe deep down in your heart you know God has a specific plan for you. But do you know what that specific plan is? People back in history and in our time, from all over the world, of different ages, rich and poor, educated […]
God has a plan
God has a plan for your life. Do you know God’s plan for you? As believers in Yeshua we are taught that God has a general will and a specific will/plan for our lives; and it is His desire for us to discover His plan. However, to discover His plan for our lives is often […]
The cross of Yeshua, Part II
The cross of Yeshua is the only reason to boast. Many people in our days see no reason to boast in the cross of Yeshua—I think that’s sad. In Galatians 6:14 (TLV) we read But may I never boast—except in the cross of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. Through Him the world has been crucified to me, […]

Pornography is idolatry
Pornography is idolatry: that’s not something you hear often. I already spoke about repentance on my blog. Further, I want to talk about one of the most important things we need to do to experience total freedom. Pornography is idolatry When your heart does not find complete satisfaction in Jesus it will try to find […]
Pornography is dangerous
Pornography is dangerous—but how dangerous? A short parable Just imagine that someone will offer you a part-time job, with a flexible schedule. That someone will decide when you must work and for how long you must work. Sometimes you will work just two hours a week, but sometimes you will accomplish two hours a day, […]
Pornography is a sin
Pornography is a sin. How do I know pornography is a sin? Not everybody believes pornography is a sin I remember doing prayer ministry with a young man several years ago and listening about his battle with pornography. He seemed desperate for answers and for a way out of his mess. I asked him if he ever […]
Any leader should read
Any leader should read books because, as I said in my previous post about books—leaders are readers. Any leader should read books Where is that in the Bible? I hope I do not have to convince you that the Apostle Paul was a great leader. In 2 Timothy 4:13 (ESV) we read When you come, […]
