I’ve noticed some followers of Christ exhibit a passive-aggressive attitude when they attempt to bring correction to those who hold an opposing view. Passive aggression is an indirect expression of resistance toward another person. They want to look and sound...
It has become hip in some circles to struggle with God’s word, the Church, and matters of faith. These struggles aren’t struggles with God’s word, abusive people in the Church, or matters of faith that require we take a stand to uphold the truth. They have become a...
Many pulpits preach without the kind of clarity that is needed to strengthen the Church. They do not address what is contrary to God’s truth. Their teaching will compromise the truth and teach things that will weaken the Church. If a person has been called to teach,...
On an early morning walk, I noticed the window signage I captured in the attached photo. It was taken in the window of one of our favorite local restaurants. The owners were trying to let their patrons know they were open for business during the shutdown but were now...
American football was a running game until one day a forward pass was thrown. That first pass would have profound implications on how the game would be played in the future. The first forward pass was thrown in 1876 during a Yale-Princeton game. It was illegal at the...
I watched a video of an eagle swooping down and picking up a snake with its talons. I knew the image was being used by the Lord to gain my attention. The eagle was empowered not by human zeal or strength. It was energized by God’s Spirit and the prayers of His saints....
When I was a young boy in grade school, our family drove to Los Angeles to visit Disneyland. We were traveling south on the old 101 freeway. As we approached LA, my father shared a news report he just heard of a first-time visitor from Europe to the United States. The...
The most dangerous opponent to tyranny is the freedom of expression and the freedom of choice. In any revolution, whether spiritual or cultural, these freedoms must first be suppressed and eventually eliminated if control of the masses is to be complete. This is not...
Just a moment ago, I saw an image in my spirit that had me stop and take notice. I saw a round fired from a rifle that traveled a great distance finally arriving at its intended target and punching a hole in the 10-ring. The image was very familiar to me. Back in the...
On occasion, stealth is part of God’s Kingdom strategy. Not all that God does is out front and visible for all to see. Many times, His victories will come suddenly as a surprise, especially for those without spiritual discernment. The biggest surprise will be to Satan...
A series of global conflicts are coming that will dissolve the dividing lines between Left and Right, Charismatic and Evangelical, Republican and Democrat, vaccinated or unvaccinated. While these positions express our passions and convictions, they will not be able to...
When I used to ride motorcycles, I learned to discern the seasons. In the summer the pavement was dry and taking corners at higher speeds was possible. In the fall, especially after the leaves had fallen and the road was wet, the slippery leaves would cause a tire to...
An important distinction needs to be made between style and substance. If not, we will become susceptible to the shrewd and stylistic presentations of misinformation that appeal to our senses, not to the wisdom and insight offered by the Spirit. We all have some sense...
In the last few months, over 20,000 corrupt leaders in positions of power and influence have been removed from office in over 100 nations. A toppling of evil leadership is beginning to take place. This week, Jan and I received an email message from a friend who...
