Everything thing we hope for is invisible to the natural eye. These hoped-for outcomes remain hidden in our faith until God’s time for fulfillment is complete, and the promise is finally revealed. When the faith of Moses was being described, it was defined this way,...
Some book introductions can provide a wealth of information about the author. In 1980, a collection of writings by A.W. Tozer was assembled and titled "The Treasury of A.W. Tozer." In the book's introduction, it was said of Tozer, "Tozer marched to a different...
This week, the news media reported that an immense swarm of Ukrainian drones destroyed military targets deep inside Russia. Russia has also used drones in this war. The release of drones during combat looks like a flock of angry birds attacking their targets. A shift...
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....

A few years ago, I met with one of the young cops I had trained. As we caught up on life, he shared a story. He initiated a car stop and as he approached the vehicle, he saw actions of the driver that caused him to back away and reassess. After events unfolded that...
When we see people spending time criticizing ministries of which they do not approve or when people try to infer only one translation of the Bible is acceptable or when you are told you must believe their narrow interpretation on points of theology, you have met a...
I was walking through a local store when I passed a section where men and women’s cologne and perfume were displayed. I stopped and looked at some old fragrances I had not seen in years. English Leather, Old Spice, Jade East, and Brut. My cologne preferences changed...
When my future son-in-law was approaching the moment when he would propose to my daughter, he wanted to meet with me. I had a hunch he was going to ask for Anna’s hand. When Jared arrived at our place, we headed up to the mountain trails above our home. After 20...
