We are living in a season of history similar to what happened at the Tower of Babel. The Lord is confusing the language of some groups who are using their language to justify the evil and deception they have inflicted on others through their social, political, and...
After a gruesome assassination yesterday of Charlie Kirk, the assassination revealed something that time and human energies cannot erase. Yesterday, we saw a raw and public display of evil that is still living among us. That evil will do anything it takes to silence...
The rainbow was never meant to be a sign supporting and affirming sexual perversion. The rainbow was a sign from God that He would never again destroy the earth with a flood. The symbol and its meaning have been hijacked and used to affirm evil. A rainbow is not...
I write this knowing it will raise the hackles in those who have accepted, hook-line-and-sinker, everything their favorite news outlet broadcasts as the truth. That concern aside, I write it for those of us who teach, write, and post things about God so we can move...
In a few days, I will turn 73. Perhaps that is why I have been thinking lately about the final lap of my race of faith. Like you, I want to finish well. The race of faith we run must be examined from time to time to make sure we are running the right race with the...
While the signs of the times are worth watching and investigating, those signs do not reveal the complete will or plan of God. There are times when the mist of uncertainty clouds our ability to perceive what is happening in our world. It’s then that we must move...
The leaks of censorship on our social media platforms and conversations held in closed-door meetings with evil agendas are beginning to take place. Expect frantic attempts to plug those leaks in the coming days. There will be invitations for us to “move on, nothing to...
When so much is taking place in our world that seems out of our control, it can be overwhelming to process. It can also be mystifying how we should respond when we discover information that reveals things that seem overwhelming and beyond our ability to influence. At...
When people are suffering and images of their suffering seem to be absent from reporting in our news outlets, I am compelled to use this platform to bring that suffering to light. China is undergoing a moment of significant transition. Protests are taking place the...
During 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, a lot of people lost their collective minds. People said things they now regret. Long-term relationships changed forever. Prophets who spoke contrary to the accepted herd-think were negatively defined by overly...
When we use the same derisive terms employed by the culture to single out and confront each other, we cast our lot with the wrong spirit. When we do this, we become puppet-like spokesmen for the media, political alliances, and compromised leaders. Labels like...
The older I become, the more I realize how important it is to have a healthy perspective regarding our own weaknesses and perceived self-importance. Over the last 49 years of marriage, and 42 years of ministry, Jan has offered me a safe harbor to dock my occasionally...
The prophetic calling of the Church was never intended to be like a timid little fish swimming within the limitations of fear afraid to speak the truth or upset the hearer. It should be like a shark cruising through the deceptions of culture devouring its spiritual...
The Lord is calling the Church to engage in specific, Spirit-directed prayer without the blurring effect of emotion. It is an aggressive kind of target-specific prayer that has the potential to intervene in the affairs of this world and set the captives free. When I...
I am sitting in front of our woodstove on a cold Oregon November day. Snow graces the summits of the surrounding hills. The sounds coming from our woodstove are those deeper thud-like sounds of ignition when a fire is entering a more mature burn. It is in that deeper...
