Mission makes all the difference. A strong sense of mission gets you up in the morning. Mission can carry you through unimaginable obstacles. A clear mission fills you with purpose and joy. Do you know your mission? Jesus knew his mission and as in all things, he set the perfect example for us. I recently […]
Twenty-five years ago this week, Elissa Engle became my wife. It would take a full length book to detail all the ways in which she has made this an amazing marriage, but I’ll share one. It is something that every wife should say to her husband. If you haven’t figured it out yet, men and […]
Prayer has the power to accomplish great things because it enlists the power of a great God. Here is a simple way that you could pray and make someones day, today. I am amazed at how easy it is to let things slide…things that we know are important…things that we value…things that we want to […]
Why? That is a hard question to get an answer to at times. Especially with God. Why did God do that? Why isn’t God doing this? Why? If you are not careful, asking why can hurl you into a dark pit. However, this post isn’t about those confusing or tragic situations in life that are […]

Thanks have been given. The turkey has been re-purposed five different ways and now it is on to Christmas. What are you getting for Christmas or more importantly what are you giving? We are giving a camel for Christmas…seriously…we are. Maybe you should too. The Christmas season is a time when we celebrate the rescue […]
When is the last time that you got really good service? I got some incredible service yesterday that got me thinking about how it could make us compelling heralds for Jesus. I was in a slight panic the last few days. I logged into this website to discover that it was down…inaccessible. My domain, kevingreenwired.com, […]
It happened again. Another “last time” took place this weekend. We picked my son up from summer camp for the last time. College classes begin in a few weeks along with a whole new season in life. You can read about some other lessons from this summer of “lasts” here and here. The end of […]
Here is my challenge: disciple someone.
