Some sins are being allowed, even celebrated in the Church. These sins exist because we have abandoned the restraints of Scripture and allowed sin to remain unchallenged. Paul wrote about our response to these sins, "So, don't make judgments about anyone ahead of...
When we get down to it, "The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God" (I Corinthians 1:18). When Paul wrote those words, he did so as a very learned man. However, as he...
Reading someone's final words can sum up what they said and what is essential for the reader to take to heart. Many times, these final words contain a warning. They are exclamation points attached to what someone said, just like it was with Paul's closing words in the...
Not all assignments from the Lord are considered normal. Isaiah, for example, got this prophetic assignment from the Lord, “Take off the burlap you have been wearing and remove your sandals. Isaiah did as he was told and walked around naked and barefoot” (Isaiah...
We have entered a moment in history where a great opportunity has been presented to the Church – an opportunity to display wise and sane decision-making. This display must first take place within our ranks before we will see a righteous change take place in our...
Sometimes we think increased levels of volume or a certain way of acting is evidence of what is called “the anointing.” A true anointing is not of human origin or creation. It is not stagecraft. It is something the Spirit deposits in a life from the realm of eternity....
There are times when the term “overwhelming evidence” is used to overwhelm reason and attempt to stall a deeper and more integrous investigation of fact. People become overwhelmed when they are buried beneath what appears to be an insurmountable mass of evidence...
While many look to the heavens for signs of what is to come in the future, and rightly so, we can overlook the fact that we are walking among some of those developing signs at this time. Not all signs are about the end of time. Some are preparatory. They are...
I love the wide-open space of sagebrush-dotted prairies. These places are removed far from the noise of civilization. There is a hush in that kind of place that soothes my soul. While watching an advertisement for a Tesla, I tried to imagine someone wanting to...
In a world where our God-created identities are being questioned and the idea of manhood is an offense to some, the title of this article could be a trigger event. The title is right out of Scripture, the place where our unique identities are spelled out with clarity...
When I was young and somewhat uninformed about the nature of spiritual life, I thought there was a great moral divide between people of faith and those who had abandoned biblical truth. What I did not know at that time was that spiritual slumber among believers was...
We all see the issues of life from different perspectives. The first 12 disciples came from the same faith, but how they expressed their faith was revealed through a wide array of opinions. Those diverse opinions did not concern the Lord as long as His disciples did...
In the next six months, now through November, will prove to be a time like none of us have ever seen. New levels of control will attempt to congeal the global conscientious into a moldable mass easily manipulated into compliance. World powers under the influence of...
Prophets and historians have something in common. Both need to remain distant from the undisciplined emotion and biased interpretation of the prevailing status quo. This is needed if they are to remain clear-headed and free to properly forecast the future or interpret...
What has been frozen and unable to move toward the purposes of God is beginning to melt. A frozenness caused by sin, deception, and compromise is melting away to reveal truth and justice. This spiritual melting will enable individuals, families, cultural institutions,...
