Last night in a dream, I was sitting with a group of leaders in the Church. As they spoke about the success of their ministries, they spoke about what they needed to accomplish as the goals of their respective ministries. In a pause in the conversation, it was my turn...
Every few months, as I hike the trails above our home, I need to transition between forest lands on a section of paved road. It had been a few months since I hiked that stretch of roadway. On a previous hike, I noticed several discarded bottles of Fireball whiskey...
The title of this post is from an old children’s hymn. Its title is appealing to some who have reduced Jesus to a warm and fuzzy cuddle doll, not the full spectrum of His life. They do not allow their theology of Jesus to hint at a demonstration of His power and...
Some of you are living under the weight of unfounded accusations and threats of revenge. A turning point will take place where the voice of your accusers will be silenced, and their plans for revenge will fail. The Lord is coming to your rescue. This morning, as I was...
We like to talk, even prophesy, about the sudden moves of God. The consideration of those sudden moves produces hope-filled conversations and raises our eyes to the horizon of the future in expectancy of what God might do. There is another kind of suddenly. That...
We have been asked to believe that protective backstops in all aspects of our society are in place to prevent injury. This belief has left some people trusting in backstops that have significant holes in their promise to protect and in some cases, are completely...
A shift is taking place in the Church that will create increasing levels of hope as the financial condition of nations descends deeper into expressions of failure and resulting despair. For the first time last week, I saw one quadrillion dollars in print,...
On Easter morning in 1958 at the end of the Sunday service at Calvary Baptist Church in Los Gatos, California, I walked down the aisle responding to the invitation offered by Dr. Blaine Bishop to receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I walked forward carrying a seed of...
I have a sense something is about to happen that will be very unusual and for some, unexpected. This unusual and unexpected event or series of events will create a turnaround for something that when originally announced, was believed by only a few. What was previously...
Easter week is a good time to revisit the exclusivity of Jesus Christ expressed in Scripture and to ensure we have not abandoned what Jesus paid so dearly for us to receive. With all the heresy hunting that takes place from time to time in the Church, most of it based...
Sometimes delivering a prophetic word, speaking a hard truth, or offering information that shakes up a slumbering status quo will require similar qualifications as the young men recruited to become riders for the Pony Express. WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry...
The unrighteous worldview nations use to promote their agenda and keep them afloat is like a ship passing through iceberg-strewn waters where fatal Titanic-like collisions are inevitable and ignored. These collisions will happen because the helm of nations is being...
We are about to experience a takeoff into the uncharted skies of massive change on a global scale. Before takeoff begins, we need to make sure we are prepared for the coming flight. When I was a pilot, a critical document was found in each aircraft I piloted. That...
As people become awakened to the reality of an unseen spiritual war taking place for the hearts and minds of individuals and nations, a phrase has come to light in recent decades - The Deep State. The Deep State is defined as a body of people, influential members of...
As a young pastor, I listened to how wise and experienced leaders would respond to their critics. The leaders who impacted me the most were those able to address their critics with a blend of both wisdom and grace. Unless a person lives as a hermit in an isolated...
