Some divisions are so deep that someone must do everything in their power to bring about restoration and redemption. Without making that first move, the restoration God intends to happen cannot take place. When Jacob stole Esau's birthright, it created a deep division...
A move of God has gripped America. Some will call that move a division. It is a division, the same division the Lord said would occur when the Spirit moves among a nation. “I have come to set the world on fire, and I wish it were already burning! I have a terrible...
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...
The Church in America stands at a point of crossing into a new future. That crossing will be seen historically as a point of no return where many of us had to make hard choices to keep our faith and sanity intact. There is a phrase born out of an event in history that...
I continue to see a sad reality taking place again and again in the lives of believers, mine included. It is the need to control. It's not how long we have “walked with the Lord” or what position we hold within the Church that determines our spiritual maturity. It is...
There is so much unfolding in our world that we do not fully understand. One thing is becoming clear to discerning minds, we are alive at the beginning of a series of changes that will reset everything in our world including how we will be allowed to live and conduct...
A few moments ago, I heard the Lord say, “The lid is coming off!” I sensed an urgency attached to what He said. The lid is coming off the containers that have been used to house the spoiled contents of deception in all its forms. The truth that has been suppressed...
From time to time there seems to be an absence of honest confrontation taking place among God’s people, especially when it comes to gossip. It’s never innocent. Someone will always become the victim of such loose and dishonoring speech. Years ago, I came across...
The greatest forms of vision are not cast when we understand all that is taking place or when we assume we clearly see the future. It is cast when we are taken to a place of isolation where we are unable to see any natural indicators or solutions for the issues we are...
Yesterday, as Jan and I drove back home from Portland, Oregon, I heard of the passing of Jack Hayford. When I received the news, something pierced my heart. It was both a sorrow and a thanksgiving for a life of a man I loved and admired. I needed a day to gather my...
The old saying, “Where there’s smoke there’s fire” is not always true. There are times when smoke indicates what was once on fire is now only a dying ember. Too much of the church in America has become dispassionate in their worship. As a result, they are not seeing...
84 years ago, my mother became a newlywed. She received a set of silver as a wedding gift. This week, I held a fork from that original silver set and used it to eat a lovely meal prepared by my daughter and her husband who now have in their possession that old silver...
I can usually tell when a conversation is about to go south. It becomes obvious when the person asking me a question begins the conversation with, “So, are you saying….?” At that point, the passive-aggressive inquirer fills in the blank giving the appearance to those...
When redeemed by the Lord, each of our personal histories can be used to fulfill our Kingdom assignment and calling. I used to wonder how certain aspects of my work as an agent in an organized crime task force would be part of my future Kingdom assignment. I no longer...
When I was a kid, I remember hearing a phrase used when someone had missed an opportunity. They would say someone was “a day late and a dollar short.” In other words, the timing and resources needed to take advantage of an opportunity had been missed. In the last two...
