When God called Jeremiah as a prophet to the nations, it came with a sixfold prophetic-apostolic mandate to root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, build and plant. A humble Jeremiah accepted the calling and, despite the spiritual warfare that raged against him, he...

When I broken my leg at age 7 and wound up in a full body cast, I had to learn how to walk all over again. It was a painful process and took what seemed like an eternity for a kid who wanted to go out and play. When I broke my leg again a year later—and ended up...
