I was walking through the historic cemetery in our town and noticed that someone had installed a statue of Jesus facing one of the tombs. At first glance, I recognized the statue as someone’s expression of their faith based on a particular expression of their belief...
Our acts of obedience can appear like a massive game of dominoes across a floor. One act of obedience will lead to another, taking us to places we never imagined. The same is true for our disobedience. We can think our weaknesses have derailed God's will for our...
It's essential to know the boundary of our calling. Stepping outside that boundary can make us vulnerable to things God did not plan for us to experience. Demons are waiting to attack those who step outside those boundaries. When Paul defended his apostolic authority,...
The older I get and the closer I move toward the time of my earthly departure; I have become convinced of a single truth - God is faithful. Understanding the faithfulness of God has the ability to overcome any concern we might have about the time of our death. Nothing...
What has held people in bondage is beginning to unravel on a global scale. In January of 2019, I wrote a prophetic word about what was coming, an unraveling that is currently underway. Those held in bondage to manufactured facts, deceptive reporting, and censorship of...
I took a picture of this pitiful worm right after a rainstorm. The worm along with hundreds of others just like it had left the safe soil of the earth to crawl out onto the pavement and die. The sad plight of the worm reminds me of a life of faith. Our only safe place...

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...
One of the greatest challenges of the Christian faith is how it interfaces with culture. An interface is defined as a point where two things meet and interact. I have tried to look beyond the current struggles taking place at this moment in time and imagine how...
