One section of Scripture has changed how I interpret the results of our faith. Faith is not an intellectual choice. It is a spiritual act - a seed that contains miraculous potential. It can release profound miracles that no human intellect can comprehend or create. It...
When the Lord created us, He placed in our hearts an instinct to know what is right or wrong. Paul wrote about people who live a life in violation of God’s original creation, he described them this way, “They began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a...
There will be times when some of those who we thought would support us, will turn their backs on us. One day we are loved and supported and the next day we are held at arms distance and rejected. Some of those attacks will go further than just a disagreement. People...
The word “domesticated” as it applies to the domestication of animals means “to tame and keep as a pet.” Domestication also applies to people. It happens when we allow someone or something to tame our faith giving them permission to leash us and lead us around by...
In times of cultural upheaval, people get played by the offering of dreadful images and emotional comments that have no basis in fact. These falsehoods are crafted to attach to our bias. A bias wrapped in deception is a powerful motivator. It is so powerful it...
When the Lord was teaching His disciples how to pray, one line in the Lord’s Prayer is of special interest, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). That single line in the prayer offers us insight into...
Imagine if you were one of the four NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) currently orbiting around the Earth with two Russian cosmonauts and one European astronaut. Yesterday, after increasing sanctions were placed on Russia for their invasion...

What has been held by God out of sight in the realm of the Spirit is being prepared for arrival. When we think the arrival of an intervention is impossible it means we have judged a circumstance by human standards, not by the will and heart of God. When I used to...
When global events take a dark turn, we all want to feel informed because in insecure times insight into what is happening can bring some level of comfort. The warring action of nations does not paint a full picture of what is taking place. In the middle of death and...
Life can be unstable and fragile at times. What we take for granted as part of normal life can be gone in a moment. In a developed nation, we can live in the illusion that all will be the same tomorrow. For example, as secure as our communication services appear to...
Of late, my dreams have become more intense and more prophetic in nature. Last night in a dream I was in my home. Other people were also present. It was mid-afternoon on a bright sunny day when the sky suddenly darkened to such an extent that I got up from...
Every deception has a process of acceptance. In that process and over time a deconstruction of truth will take place making the final acceptance of an error seem reasonable. At first, what is offered as a logical disassembly of our faith will pull apart historic truth...
Portability in things like insurance or investments is important. It allows us to move those policies and portfolios through the changing seasons of life and not experience unnecessary loss. Our faith must have the ability to be easily moved through the changing...
