The building where I proposed to Jan has been demolished. In the process, I learned something when memorable places no longer exist. https://www.facebook.com/1442665059/videos/1109261307467904

GOD’S MERCIFUL PARDON
The Lord will faithfully forgive our sins if we confess them to Him. It is very different when we try to conceal our sins and pardon those who were complicit in their execution. In that case, mercy will not come to the perpetrator and those who followed their sin...
HONORABLE LEADERSHIP
My pastor of many years ago was called to a meeting of disgruntled parishioners. He was young at the time. His church was growing under his apostolic leadership and teaching. This challenged some people within the congregation who wanted to remain in control and not...
Miraculous Hope for a Nation
In our current cultural climate, the thought of God doing profound miracles to supernaturally turn around a nation seems like folly to some – even believers who hold great respect for God’s Word, but no longer think miracles, signs, and wonders are the way forward,...
No Longer Tossed About
Lies have been offered to the Church so well-crafted they sound like the truth to those who have allowed these offerings to replace biblical authority. Messages are being preached to unsuspecting congregations who now consider these erred opinions as an acceptable...
Standing on the Wall
Before our culture went into lockdown, the Lord asked Jan and me to step into a season of extended solitary sabbatical. God was resetting our mission for the coming season. When the lockdown took place, it had little effect on us since we were already in a time of...
A Squirrel Safari
I always thought a squirrel was a squirrel. I was uninformed about the variety of squirrel species until I was invited last week to go on what could best be described as a squirrel safari. I packed up my .22 bolt action rifle and joined some friends, each with far...
The Blessing of Dismantled Assumptions
As we begin to emerge from this pandemic season where a significant dismantling of ministries has taken place, God will not reconstruct our broken concepts about His Kingdom or our preferred models of ministry that led us to this challenging place. He has something...
A Spiritual Battlefield Commission
Rank-and-file followers of Jesus who do not possess a significant ministry platform have been engaged in decisive battles in the spiritual realm. These believers have proven themselves as faithful warriors of prayer and faith. Their coming recognition will be similar...
Ready to Receive God’s Promise
An echo can travel for miles through steep mountain canyons. The sound of an echo bounces off hard rock mountain walls and continues to be deflected until there are no longer any hard surfaces to deflect its sound waves. An echo will end its course of travel when it...
An Awake and Clearheaded Faith
This morning, I came across a verse that carried a serious challenge. Paul wrote “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded” (I Thessalonians 5:6). This admonishment to stay spiritually awake and clearheaded applies to our...
Premature Proclamations
Be careful making premature proclamations of judgment about people without understanding their process. Not everyone arrives at the same realization at the same time. Perhaps one of the greatest gifts we can give to those with whom we disagree is the benefit of the...
On the Outside Looking In
Each morning, I take my dog outside while it’s still dark for a walk around the yard. As I passed by a window that provides a view into our living room, I stopped to look inside. In the softly lit window frame, I could see my lamp, computer, and writing chair. This is...
The Danger of Premature Dismissal
Those who first sound an alarm can be seen as an interruption to those who are asleep. Many will dismiss the alarm because they can perceive its sound as premature, ill-informed, or pure fantasy. This misinterpretation of reality will continue until the cause of the...
In Times of Absurdity
Yesterday, the word “absurd” kept coming to mind as I looked across our culture at the redefinitions of reality taking place. The level of absurdity of what some are accepting as truth seems to be on the rise. I took a stroll through several dictionaries and compiled...
