Ten years ago, I injured my knee. I had to have surgery to repair the injury. Following the surgery, I went through a few months of physical therapy. As I was undergoing physical therapy, I was a bit unsteady on my feet. During one of the therapy sessions, my...
This morning, I began reading the book of Revelation. As the world considers yet another war – a war with global implications - its words seem appropriate for this time in history. One hindrance to understanding what John wrote is the systematic forms of theology and...
The greatest enemies of God’s truth are in the Church, not in the world. These are deceptive teachers we sit under as they teach lies, having departed from the truth and leading people astray. Jude issued a warning for all Christ-followers, “I must write about...
Truth has a way of walking out of tombs of censorship and secrecy to be resurrected into the light of day for all to see. No fact and no plan to hide the full measure of truth can escape the power of resurrection. In my lifetime, I have seen two very...
It feels like we are being herded down a hallway leading to a destination that is not of our choice. God gave us a powerful tool that enables us to open up a new way and begin moving in a different direction. That tool is faith. It is not faith in world systems or...
We need to be careful when we read the whole of biblical history and think it does not apply to our lives today. Some have dissected God’s word using the scalpel of their preferred theology to remove certain aspects of the unchanging God that make them uncomfortable....
In each new season, the Lord gives me a word for the Church. I preach that word wherever I speak until the season is over. Typically, these seasonal words come from something I see in the Spirit. For the fall of 2022, I saw a large gate leading to the future. It had...
Spending time on my stationary exercise bike has taught me something about the life of faith. Being faithful does not always mean we are going somewhere. Being faithful in the small things day in and day out conditions us for those times when we need to move under the...
Today, we are having a woodstove installed in our home. We already have gas heat, but the woodstove will share the heating duty in the future. Its real purpose is to be available when our energy supply is either limited or not available. I have laid up a supply of...
His name was Paul Revere, not Paul Reverse. The mission of his Midnight Ride was to warn sleeping citizens what was coming. He did not reverse course and run away from the approaching threat. He sounded an alarm making him a target willing to die for what he honored...
In a time of prayer, I saw puppets dancing at the end of strings being manipulated by puppet masters. As I continued to pray, I saw a pair of scissors enter the image and snip the strings. When the controlling strings were cut the puppets began to fall to the ground....
Something is taking place that I've never seen before. Banks are beginning to limit withdrawal amounts. It’s your money or your retirement funds so why the limit? If making a substantial withdrawal, you might be asked like I was just the other day, “What are you using...
After the resurrection of Jesus, the Lord appeared to His disciples on several occasions to confirm He was alive. He had one mission in mind during those appearances, “And He talked to them about the Kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3). He didn’t talk about politics, sports,...
I started writing this article several times trying to tamp down any offense it might create in the reader. I was trying to write about fear and how it motivates leaders to commit ungodly acts and realized it was fear that was causing me to write and rewrite these...
What is visible in our testimony that tells the world we are followers of Jesus? It is a supernatural peace we experience in times of suffering that cannot be explained and makes no sense to an unrenewed mind. This kind of peace can only be experienced by a follower...
