There are times when nature will announce what God is about to do. On July 29, 2025, a large earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 took place in Kamchatka, Russia. Kamchatka lies at the eastern edge of Russia and borders Alaska. That immense earthquake set in motion what...
As believers, we have lived for years with great freedom of expression. That freedom was not challenged in a way that caused any measure of harm. At most, it was only criticized in conversations and debates. With the death of Charlie Kirk, we received an intense and...
Over the last few months, I have heard the Lord say repeatedly that a time is coming when conventional wisdom will no longer be a reliable advisor. I have sensed we are moving toward a moment where a rapid and startling reset of our current reality will take place....
When the microphones of truth are manipulated and controlled in an attempt to silence a message, those attempts will not prevail. The Spirit of God will raise up a chorus of truth-tellers not constrained by any human attempt to silence a voice or control a...

As the nations of the world and the streets of some cities in America are exhibiting increasing levels of turmoil, Psalm 46 becomes very tangible, “The nations are in chaos and their kingdoms crumble” (vs. 6). While the chaos is increasing and governments appear to be...
In 1903, Henry Ford’s lawyer was given some bad advice. He was advised not to buy stock in the Ford Motor Company. A local bank president told Ford’s lawyer, “The horse is here to stay.” The lawyer wisely ignored that advice and bought $5,000 worth of stock selling it...
Last Sunday, Jan and I were speaking at Empowered Life Church in Talent, Oregon. My friend, Ivan Roman, is the pastor of the church. He was in New York on a speaking engagement, so he asked me to cover the preaching assignment in his absence. As we began to worship,...
