A life not directed by the truth of Scripture will not finish well. It will be absorbed with things outside the bounds of truth, embracing what is counterfeit. That person will too easily embrace errors regarding human sexuality, the purpose of earthly wealth, and,...
A wise pastor once said, "If you want to discover what motivates a person, look at their checkbook." That truth was shared with me years ago before online banking and financial apps became widely available. The same principle holds true today, as many are using...
Most of us are aware of Paul's warning to Timothy about what will happen in the last days, "Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times, some will turn away from the true faith" (I Timothy 4:1). We quote this verse with regularity but fail to realize...
We all have illusions about natural security. Security is never absolute. Windows of a home can be broken to gain entry even when all the doors have been locked. A big bay window or a sliding glass door can fall victim to a rock allowing a drugged-up intruder to enter...
A truthful reality cannot be defined in a space of time where the presumed facts of a matter have been placed within restrictive and prejudiced borders. Defining a truthful reality requires unfiltered and unrestricted evidence supplied from the past, present, and...
Last night, I had a dramatic dream that contained unusual clarity. In the dream, the Lord told me to announce a gathering of believers to share with them what I was hearing from the Lord. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what the response would be since of late conferences...
Truth is an offense to those unwilling to accept its influence. No matter how hard people try to make the Gospel acceptable to an unredeemed culture, the message will eventually become an offense because the truth requires Lordship. An attempt to make the Gospel...
We have entered a moment in history where our bravado, self-confidence, and preparation will not be enough to protect us from the predatory spirits that roam among us. A manifestation of God’s supernatural protection will be revealed in life and death situations that...
As the world continues to give us reasons to be divided against each other, that tactic will soon backfire. As social decay and talk of revolution increase within the nations of the world, our unity in Christ will be displayed in such powerful ways that it will...
If you look deeper than the news headlines we are being fed you will begin to see the spiritual forces behind the decisions and policies that are negatively affecting people’s lives. That deeper discovery is where the efforts of our spiritual activity should be...
In this time of despair turn your eyes to Heaven. Within the great cloud of witnesses who live forever in the presence of Jesus, there is a special group - those who knew you in this life. Along with the others in the heavenly host, they are cheering you on through...
The Church is living amid a season of tremendous social change. In that change is the potential for great Kingdom harvest and expansion if we align ourselves with the workings of God's Spirit. At this time, two histories are running parallel to each other – one...
When I recently read a comment made by a global financial icon it reminded me of when Jan and I worked in Eastern Europe and heard stories from people about what it was like to live under Communism. In 2016, a man named Klaus Schwab, the Founder and Executive...
The pain and disappointments of this life can throw us off course causing us to stumble and lose our momentum. God will not allow us to remain imprisoned in that place. He has a future planned for us that requires renewed momentum to accomplish His will. In that...
