The Lord's return has been described as coming like a thief in the night. His surprise arrival will affect those who have rejected Him, not those who have waited for Him aware of His immediate return. When Paul described Jesus's return, he wrote, “The Lord himself...
Ten years ago, I began to write and publicly prophesy about a reset that would take place in the Church. That reset would significantly impact the Church and challenge attempts to control the nations where the Church was present. In 2020, the World Economic Forum...
It’s hard to love some people. Some are difficult to love even on their best days. Loving the unlovely is a critical part of the Church's mission. The most obnoxious people need to experience God’s love the most. This is a challenge because unredeemed sources...
In this unusual time in history, the Western Church is being offered an opportunity to recalibrate. In some cases, we have wandered from the very things that motivated the Early Church to be so passionate and all-in regarding their commitment to Christ. The first...
The walls of fear that have defined and confined some relationships are coming down. The sound of that dismantling is echoing throughout our culture and within the Church. Where before people were afraid to step out or speak up they no longer are feeling obligated to...
Don’t buy into the lie that cops are your enemy. I spent 9 years behind a badge in two different agencies and endured things most of you reading these words will thankfully never have to experience. It is a very different profession, at times with deadly outcomes....

In trial law, there is something called “Risk-Benefit Analysis.” This analysis weighs the risk of a decision to determine if the risk is worth taking. Lawyers will weigh risk vs. benefit, for example, of having their client testify at a trial. The analysis is an...
It is a challenge to speak the truth in love in a culture where you are forced to spend the bulk of your time offering disclaimers in your preparatory remarks before you even get to the truth. The possibility of offense is always present when a wide variety of...
While our nation experiences a deepening cultural divide, and we are preoccupied with national issues, a significant arrangement of military forces are staging to confront and disempower the free nations of the world and usher in a dark agenda on a global scale. The...
There is a vast difference between being a fearmonger and someone who speaks a prophetic word of warning. The word “monger” is defined as someone who deals or trades in a specific commodity, as in a fishmonger or a fearmonger. A monger profits from the item they sell....
Jan and I were on a walk through our town. As we strolled along, I looked down at the pavement and noticed one of those small weights that get attached to the rim of a car wheel to balance its spin. When I saw the weight, I thought, “That car is out of balance.” If...
In the coming months, we will see a world-class Olympic athlete refuse to perform in Communist China during the 2022 Olympics. This person will forfeit years of sacrifice and training for the greater good. The stance this person takes against a repressive regime will...
Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ and Loren Cunningham of YWAM met in 1975 to discuss a word the Lord gave independently to each of them. They shared that the Lord said there were seven areas/spheres of cultural influence the Church needed to recognize and...
