Everyone Needs a Barnabas {Recharge Wednesday}
He was born Joses, a Greek variant of the name “Joseph.” Later on, when recounting the story of how he sold his possessions to give money to the apostles in Jerusalem, the Book of Acts calls him “Barnabas,” which in Greek translates as “son of encouragement” or “son of consolation.” Barnabas was a Hellenic Jew from Cyprus, which is an island country located south of Turkey, west of Syria and Lebanon and north of Israel.

But hearing God speak is only the first Continue Reading

It is time gyms are flooded with newcomers, and diet websites profit from people's desire to lose weight and improve their lives. There is no question that many devoted believers also start a new year with a renewed commitment to good health and better life choices. In the past several years, I have noticed many Christians beginning the new year with a fast - a time to "reset" their spiritual lives and cleanse Continue Reading
