Spiritual Strongholds

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. - 2 Corinthians 10:4

One of the great discoveries I made in later years in my walk with God has to do with living in victory over generational strongholds. The Bible speaks of punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generations. (See Exodus 20:5.) The only way out of living under the curses of generational strongholds is to… Continue

The Flight Lunches (Small Act's Of Kindness Do Make A Difference)

Voice over in Hong Kong

I arrived back from Hong Kong on the 13th. Good to be home. Our new Marantz PMD661 recorder did a great job in the voice over work. Loved the fact that it was so small and well built. Did have trouble with the SD chips. The regular SD 1 Gig worked great but the SD 2Gig C2 chip didn't work well at all. Come to find out it was the firm ware as I expected. I will update that when my team comes back to the US. We'll leave it alone until after the recordings are done.

If anybody has read… Continue

Top Three Online Marketing Mistakes and Top Three Social Media Opportunities

Written for ECPA's E-link publication...

Just a few weeks ago Newsweek magazine's cover story declared "The End of Christianity in America.” It’s not a secret that the church is at a crossroads in U.S. culture. This means our Christian market is also at a crossroads. Sadly in many ways for us, we do live in a post-Christian culture now. People don’t have the same core beliefs that we once enjoyed. I’ll leave the statistics up to… Continue
