This week, 12 million people were found to still be on the Social Security roles and drawing benefits. Only a very small number of people, only in the hundreds, are over 120 and still alive. There is a parallel to our theology and what we have been led to believe is...
Over the years, maybe like some of you, fellow believers have accused me of various things. I’ve had labels attached to me created by someone’s misunderstanding and premature judgment. These accusers are a very small group of people who see this world through their...
The Lord brings correction to His people from time to time, especially those who claim to speak for God. To do this the Lord used the prophet, Micah. Micah preached to both Israel and Judah during the same time as Isaiah. He denounced both kingdoms' oppression,...
I am not alone when I say the challenges faced during the last year have been painful on many fronts. The most painful of those challenges haven’t been the pandemic and its restrictions or the heated election cycle of 2020. Those events are just instigators. For me...
This morning, I was considering the subject of unrighteous judgment. This is that painful out-of-left-field kind of judgment that gets laid on us unrighteously. Sadly, it can come from those who know us and should know better. As I considered this painful subject, an...
There is a large sign along Interstate 5 at the northbound exit to Rogue River, Oregon. It is an ad for a casino. One line on the sign reads “just ten more songs”, indicating you only need to listen to ten more songs on your car radio before you arrive at the casino....
Fearful people will often use shaming to silence those who offer an opposing point of view. This is done by making questioning statements like “How is that choice an expression of Christ’s love?” or “Are you more informed than the experts?” This questioning saw cuts...
As the crow flies, we live about 50 miles from the 173rd Fighter Wing based in Klamath Falls, Oregon. This is where Air Force pilots train in F-15’s to support combat missions. Every so often a group of these jets will fly over the mountains and land at our local...
I listened to an interview with a crew member of a sailing vessel that claimed the record for the fastest sailboat crossing of the Atlantic Ocean. One section of the race put them in part of the ocean where icebergs were frequent. This course was especially harrowing...
Beta Testing is a process that tests user acceptance of a product before its launch date. A Beta Testing program allows those creating the product to evaluate how the product will perform and be accepted in the real world before its formal introduction. At this moment...
Whenever freedom is experienced, spiritually or culturally, its impact can never be reversed. At all costs and through any means available, freedom will be challenged by those desiring to remain in power because freedom in any form is the greatest threat to the lords...
When we lived in Europe most of our travel was by air or train. Sometimes we traveled by car and would drive through the Alps. Switzerland and Austria have some very long tunnels – several miles in length. Previous to our time in Europe, I had only passed through...
Today, I tried several times to create blog articles and videos. In the process, I realized I had copped a negative attitude. I deleted each one. Thankfully, I was still able to hear the Spirit in my funk and move in another direction. I hit the delete button because...
Everyone sees signs. How those signs are interpreted indicates whether a person is interpreting a sign through the lens of the Spirit or through the limitations of human wisdom. A dialogue took place between the Pharisees and Sadducees who came to test Jesus asking...
The Devil has overplayed his hand. His recent attacks on the Church have done the equivalent of what took place when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Japanese Admiral Yamamoto is attributed to have famously said, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and...
