From time to time, we need to be reminded of the presence and purpose of God’s angels, whose assignment is to help us navigate the perils of this life. For some, the presence of angelic activity sounds strange, even cultic. They may dismiss the present-day activity of...
Our greatest spiritual asset is intimacy with God. Without that intimacy, we will attempt to fill the void with things like experience, education, or a religious position as replacements for intimacy with the Lord. None of those replacements creates intimacy with God....
Every leader in God’s Kingdom needs to lead from a high place where they can see what is happening to the people they are called to lead. They also need personal help when their personal strength can no longer support their calling. No leader can function properly...
As anyone can sense who is in tune with the Spirit and what is taking place on the world stage, we are living in a strategic time of human history. Events are unfolding that if not interpreted properly could create a sense of despair. Prophecy is a gift that will help...
In a couple of years, Jan and I will approach the 50-year mark of marriage. That span of time has included a lot of anniversaries and birthdays. Over those many years, Jan has saved all the cards I bought for her to go with flowers and gifts honoring her special days....
Years ago, I worked as an intelligence officer for an organized crime unit. During that assignment, I learned some valuable investigative lessons. Some of those lessons were learned while attending a California Department of Justice training class where I learned the...

Last night was one of those nights. I didn’t get the uninterrupted kind of sleep we all need that produces refreshment. Long ago, I learned a marriage principle. Talk about uplifting and affirming things as a couple when you get into bed. I violated that principle and...

The image I saw was of vultures circling the corpses of martyrs in Afghanistan. These vultures were terrorist nations emboldened by the dark spirits motivating them. They have been waiting for their opportunity – an opportunity granted to them this week. What the...
