We are living in a time of great change. Some of that change has been expected. For others, the change will be unimagined. It will be in dreams and visions where the Lord will reveal His will apart from a limited understanding that has been provided to us by our...
When SpaceX was launched to execute a rescue mission of two astronauts aboard the International Space Station, it was a remarkable launch to watch. Each spacecraft stage ignited in sequence as the rocket rose higher in the sky. The stages fell away after depleting...
In God’s Kingdom, the innocent pay for the guilty. Only then is restoration possible. Jesus modeled this for us when He offered Himself on the Cross on our behalf. One of the most beautiful and powerful stories of reconciliation occurred between Esau and Jacob. Esau...
I love Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends. I also love what happens the day after Thanksgiving. The day after is when "The Sandwich" makes its yearly appearance. It has become a ritual for me. Slices of turkey breast, crisp bacon and Havarti cheese are placed...
There are times when we are asked by the Lord to move beyond what we are known for to engage a completely new life-assignment. It is easy to settle into a known reputation or long-held position thinking it is a forever assignment and fail to miss an opportunity for...
This is a time to simplify our faith. We can rely on things to support our faith that may not be there when a life crisis takes place. Reducing our faith to its simplest functional form allows it to move with us unhindered through the difficult seasons of life. It's...
I lived in Portland, Oregon during college. I met my wife in the city. In those days Portland was a stable and beautiful place. Few cities in America have such a beautiful skyline. In the last few years parts of Portland have descended into despair. The nation watches...
When it seems to be too quiet after a significant life event takes place, some will interpret that silence as peace. Silence is not evidence of true peace. It can mask reality and be used as a time of preparation for the next conflict hoping an adversary will let...
I woke up this morning seeing the image of an immense glacier changing its direction of travel. The image was given to inform me that a significant shift has taken place in the spiritual realm and that shift is now manifesting in the natural realm. Glaciers are...
Our world is sitting atop a spiritual fault line that has been building up pressure over time and is about to release, rupturing our misplaced sense of security. Too much evil has taken place and gone unchallenged to continue in its current state without release. In...
While working as a detective, I had a conversation with a noted lawyer during a recess in a court proceeding. He commented, “If it were a matter of law, I would rather have a judge, not a jury, hear my case. If the disposition of the case in my favor required an...
As the world around us continues to decay while it seeks solutions for life apart from the heart and will of God, do not be overcome by doubt and dread as you see this taking place. If you belong to the Lord, you will be like a tree planted by a stream in the garden...
In our living room, we have one of those free-standing gas stoves that looks like a wood stove. This morning, I turned it on for the first time since last winter. The dust that accumulated over the last year was burned off causing the stove to give off that singed...
I bought the handcuffs in the photo 50 years ago as a young rookie cop. In those days, we had to buy every single piece of our equipment. I used those cuffs all the years I carried a badge. Most of the people I arrested went peacefully. Some became violent and...
I watched a video where a national security consultant was being interviewed. The consultant made a comment that included the phrase “a kinetic state of war.” When pressed by the interviewer to clarify what he meant, the consultant remarked a kinetic state occurs...
