This month, Jan and I said goodbye to our front lawn. The problem we had with our front lawn was that it produced nothing but an image. It offered us nothing in return. As the transformation began, we gave away our lawnmower (Hallelujah!) and began the work...
I've read editorial comments and watched videos about the depredation of wolves that have been introduced in certain parts of the nation. Wolves are causing millions of dollars of damage. This topic has created controversy and strong opinions on both sides of the...
We can too easily fashion the Gospel message around only positive messages, especially here in the United States. Nothing is wrong with a positve presentation of the Gospel, but if we think a positive message is the only avenue through which the Lord can work, we will...
Yesterday, I wrote about a new Pentecost – a fresh move of God’s Spirit. A friend of mine read what I wrote and sent me a photo of a large group of pastors – hundreds of them - crowding around a church platform hungry for a fresh move of God in their lives and in the...
As I look across the landscape of the American Church, I realize how desperately we need a new experience of Pentecost. We have arrived at a place of impasse. Only a Spirit-empowered move of God can reach through our deeply entrenched positions and opinions and touch...
The deeper into an agenda of deception its perpetrators take us the more irrational their actions will become to protect that agenda, especially when the agenda is challenged with the truth. In the coming days, expect to see the Lord unravel unrighteous agendas and...
For the last couple of months, our backyard has been a construction site. We hired a contractor to install pavers creating several patios at different elevations throughout the yard. The project required the initial preparation of the ground, the application and...
When Jan and I lived on the Oregon coast, we became familiar with the tidal changes that occurred each day between high and low tides. One of my favorite hikes was around the rocky headlands between our home and the bayfront of Newport, Oregon. The hike required a low...
A great escape is beginning. Those who have been lured into a place of delusion and control are beginning to sense an unease and regret regarding their alignment and choices. They were told to look at personalities, not policies. They believed the talking heads and...
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...
