In the Law Enforcement community, there is something called EOW - End of Watch. It's when a cop signs off for the last time over their radio. It's also used to describe an officer who has died in the line of duty. Watching is the primary job of a police officer....
Over many years, I've told people to pursue Jesus if they want to know the truth about life. Reading yet another book or pursuing an advanced degree cannot produce the truth. Truth is only found in Jesus. He provides everything we need because He is the way, the...
Last night, Jan and I drove back home from Seattle. We went on a cruise to Alaska. This was a family retreat with Jan’s side of the family. It was a gift given to us by her family. All the siblings and their spouses were in attendance. Each day, the cruise ship...
We have entered a moment in history when unusual and unexpected revelations will be brought to light. The Lord has planted people inside the war room of hell where dark strategies are being developed. When exposure takes place, it will contain the spiritual...
In our home, there is a phrase Jan repeats to me whenever I am feeling my natural age. She says, “You are moving forward in the strength of Caleb!” In other words, the occasional moans and groans of an aging body do not define a person’s spiritual strength or status...
Like all marriages, ours has changed over time. When Jan and I went on our first date how we related to each other was very different from what we now have after almost 50 years of marriage. We are more comfortable in our relational skin. Things we never considered...
Yesterday, Jan and I went to see the movie Jesus Revolution. The history of the movie was part of my life. As the movie progressed, I saw the kind of gatherings where I would have been present amidst a sea of young faces. We all craved God's presence and spent each...
Everything in this world is connected. Nothing is isolated. All the assembled parts are connected to outcomes, either good or bad. This morning, I was prompted to write this post when I read a news report of what is called the “Judgment Day” aircraft. This...
It is becoming increasingly obvious we are moving toward a critical and dangerous juncture in human history. Despair will increase when options for escape narrow and people become desperate. This is not the time to seek out the counsel of the religious equivalent of...
In the life of faith, there will be times when we must run ahead of what has become familiar, predictable, and expected of us. This moving ahead is not always a physical move. It could be initiated by a deeper revelation of how we see God’s Kingdom or a change in our...
There's a word we use to describe something that is too horrible to consider. We call it unthinkable. It’s unthinkable because if it happened to our family, our church, or our nation we would experience something so painful, life as we know it would radically change...
As our world enters the narrow and dangerous waters of social unrest, as major world powers move closer to WWIII, and when institutions we once considered stable are now in jeopardy, it is important to reestablish our understanding that God will forever be faithful to...
The Church can be weakened when we begin to think our personal opinions are the opinion of the Lord. If we are not careful, we can assume our limited, and at times ignorant, interpretation of reality is the only way the Lord will accomplish His will on Earth. When a...
As attempts at governmental control appear to be ramping up, it is critical that we understand what it means to be truly free. I am not talking about the freedom offered by a historic experiment of democracy or the ability to live as we please unhindered by government...
The following verse is the reason why the Church must speak uncomfortable truths to those in power and to the institutions that wield their power creating bondage, not freedom in the lives of people. “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure...
