Over the last 50 years, I've had what I would call multiple Pentecost experiences. In these experiences, I received a fresh anointing of the oil of God’s Spirit, equipping me to engage a new season. My task was to maintain that anointing by daily seeking God and His...
Many Christians obsess over the quality of other believers' faith. This obsession is the root cause of many of our divisions. If all participants can establish that Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life, all these divisions will work themselves out if we all...
From time to time, we need to be reminded of the presence and purpose of God’s angels, whose assignment is to help us navigate the perils of this life. For some, the presence of angelic activity sounds strange, even cultic. They may dismiss the present-day activity of...
A significant spiritual deprogramming is taking place. This deprogramming is a work of God’s Spirit. It is causing people to wake up from all forms of deception that held them in bondage - spiritual, cultural, and relational bondage. These...
The use of labels has another purpose beyond simply identifying someone or something. It has become a tool used to prepare people to reject a person or an idea before they are discerning enough to make an informed decision. The news media and academia are the cultural...
Affixing the label of misinformation to an opposing point of view is a tactic of control. It presumes people are ignorant, unable to make their own informed decisions. Whenever a government or private entity decides what is acceptable and limits free expression and...
I began writing this word a few weeks ago but did not have the final content until this morning. The word was parked away in my writing file until an image came that gave the word its intended content. The word is about drawing lines in the sands of life. We all draw...

This morning just before getting out of bed, I was processing some thoughts about the Lord. I considered what I would ask Him if we had a conversation here on Earth - not a time of prayer, but a real face-to-face sit-down meeting. The longer I pondered that thought...
God’s ability to lead us into truth is greater than Satan’s ability to lead us into error. Where we place our hope in times of increasing deception will become the testimony of our lives.
Understanding how we arrive at our assumptions is as important as the assumptions themselves. Assumptions are created by the programming that has molded our lives and our current way of thinking. The source of an assumption is discovered when we understand the...
Whatever position you might hold regarding vaccinations, masks, and COVID-19 policy (including the little box that will surely be attached to this posting by our social media overlords), it should concern you that we have entered unchartered waters in this generation....
One of the most challenging situations in a life of faith takes place when we apply our beliefs to the affairs of daily life where opposing opinions exist. This is where relational dustups have taken place in the last two years among believers that...
I was invited to a series of meetings with a film producer and screenwriter who create faith-based movies. They wanted another set of eyes on their project. In our conversation about the movie script, I asked a question. “Why do some actors in faith-based movies have...
