Last night in the Tyson-Paul fight, I heard the referee point at Jake Paul, and warn him, “Don’t measure.” I had never heard a referee give that kind of warning. “Measuring” is placing your leading arm on the opposing fighter’s head to measure them or obstruct their...
The Church is not supposed to be a hard-nosed and controlling presence in culture. We have been assigned a ministry of influence. The Lord has used that influence to effect change in the various spheres of culture across time to change the world. In 1972, Billy Graham...
Every day, I tell Jan I love her multiple times. Many of those expressions of my love for her are followed by a kiss, a touch, or a glance of affirmation. I tell my kids that I love and appreciate them. I never want to carry a regret that I failed to express my love...
I listened to an astrophysicist talking about deep space travel. The astrophysicist said our current power and fuel sources would not allow humans to travel into the depths of distant space because of their limitations. He suggested that someday in the distant future,...
My 17-year-old pickup truck has a pronounced virtue. It is reliable. It starts and goes wherever I steer it, and it’s never let me down. I’ve driven through Montana blizzards and endured bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic in downtown LA. In both of those settings, I...
Developing an audience can be a dangerous thing. It is dangerous because if we are not careful, we can play to the demands of our audience at the expense of living and speaking the truth. Truth revealed to certain audiences can be an unnerving experience. It can also...
Evidence that has remained hidden because of the premature dismissal of the facts will be revealed in the coming days. Many have moved on and accepted a false narrative hoping that life will return to normal. Normal is an illusion. Have you ever watched one of those...
Our home and tree are smaller nowadays, but the Christmas morning joy still remains. I just played Santa and placed our presents under the tree. As I stood back and looked at the lighted tree and the colorful presents, I had a flashback to a familiar childlike...
When I awoke this morning, I heard the words “prophetic outcomes.” As I lay in bed lingering over the meaning of those two words, I asked the Lord to speak to me and help me understand what He meant. An hour later, while sitting in my writing chair, the Lord began to...
Scripture was written for the common man and woman, not for theologians. Theologians can interpret Scripture for our benefit but only if what they interpret remains anchored in the original context and intent. Over the last several decades, progressive theology...
This is your receiving season. It is not just because it is Christmas. This is your time to receive back what you have sowed in faith. Your generous heart is about to be rewarded.
The rescue missions of God many times come when all hope seems lost. His rescues can be a surprise to those who have submitted to a life of imprisonment in a place of despair. The rescues of God are similar to what a prisoner held in a dark cell in a foreign...
During lunch last week, my daughter and I were talking about communication within relationships when the subject of sarcasm came up. Anna is a wordsmith by degree and life-experience. She shared with me the word sarcasm means “to tear the flesh.” While I have never...
Since the beginning of time, false representations of reality have been offered as counterfeits to God’s truth. There are two definitions of a global reset being offered at this time. One reset is empowered by God, and the other is empowered by darkness. Masking...
I had just parked my car to enter a local supermarket when I looked down and saw a rubber glove on the pavement. As soon as I saw the glove, the Lord spoke a word of encouragement. The promise you wore so joyfully but have discarded because you thought God had...
