You Never will Find it, You’ve got to make it!!!

A Pastor that I used to work with always said “if the devil don’t make you sin, he’ll make you busy”. It’s so easy to get very busy. That’s when the excuses come up, ” I don’t have time to workout”. “I don’t have time to spend with the kids or my [...]

Remember to remember

Ever forget what your in the middle of doing?
Ever forget what you were about to say?
Ever forget to hit the right note on stage or hit the break with the band?

Stop what you are doing!

On Monday I was challenged by our Executive Pastor, Raul Palacios at our weekly staff meeting. He taught about how Jesus one day woke up very early in the morning and went to have a quiet moment of prayer alone (Mark 1:32-38). When the disciples showed up, they told him that everybody was looking for [...]

The art of “Creative control”

Psalm 33: 4 says..
” Sing to HIM a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy. For the word of the lord is right and true; HE is faithful in all HE does.”

The BPM Phase

The new Magteam Tool is here: The Metronome for our worship sets. As you might have experienced, Easter was incredible and one of the major reasons was that our Global Magteams worked through a “click-track”, which simply means we were all in perfect “time”. Nothing like playing in perfect time.
It is so easy in a [...]

What are you believing God for today? Relationships? Healing? Promotion? I’ve learned in my life that perseverance is hard to achieve. I always want fast results no matter what I [...]
