We should never judge the servant of another, “Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval” (Romans 14:4). Our opinions about life and what...
When we read God’s word it’s evident, in an honest reading, that we don’t measure up to the conditions of faith to which we have been called. Some give up their journey of faith realizing they don’t measure up to what the Lord requires of them thinking it's our works...
Perhaps it’s our age, but Jan and I are praying for the time when one of us dies and the other is left alone. After 51 years of marriage, we have become so one in the Spirit that it will be impossible, in human terms, to process that time and the emotional loss the...
This morning, I saw a brief but poignant image from the Lord. I saw a huge megaphone that was broadcasting falsehoods, treachery, and lies. The script was well-crafted, reasonable to undiscerning ears, and was becoming more and more accepted by those who listened only...
If we do not know how to pray from God’s throne declaring opinions adjudicated from the Courts of Heaven upon the Earth, we will continue to pray from a limited understanding and narrow insight wondering why the course of history is not shifting toward righteous...
This is a time to become lean in our faith. Many things are being offered on the plate of our lives. If these things are not portion-controlled, they will add layers of confusion and inhibit our ability to move at the speed of faith. Yesterday, as Jan and I were...
I remember the first time I was asked to write a personal bio for a ministry position. I had never written a personal biography before. As I wrote, I was trying to cover all the bases I thought someone would need to read to make me sound credible with a bit of wishful...
A pre-awakening is moving across our nation. A slumbering Church is being roused. Pastors and leaders of movements are sensing the critical nature of this hour and are beginning to realize their leadership responsibilities may include speaking the truth in love to...
There are times when I have received a prophetic word or a word of knowledge that I wondered if I should share it. Not everything we hear from the Lord is meant for publication. It happened yesterday. I posted a word about two revelations coming. It was just a...
Every morning, I do an exercise called the plank. It strengthens my core. The exercise wasn't fun when I started doing it a few years ago, but now, I look forward to it each day and have been able to increase my time while holding the plank position. This morning, I...
When uttered, a single comment reveals a person's lack of understanding regarding human history. It also limits the inclusion of a contradicting narrative to what they have been told to believe. That comment is, "This has never happened before." When God is involved,...
Last night, Jan and I went to bed earlier than normal. After a few hours of sleep, I rolled over and saw the illuminated display on our clock, showing the time of 11:11. Normally, it would mean nothing to me, but I sensed a significance associated with the number. I...
In the coming weeks, my hope and prayer will be that we, as people of faith, would not join the mocking and dismissing chorus of a nervous culture. God does His most significant work behind the scenes and outside the limited scope of natural thinking that produces...
This week, I had to block someone on my Facebook account. Among the thousands of people I have as Facebook friends and followers, this individual was unknown to me before reading their words. I blocked the person for taking potshots at people and name-calling. The...
Demonizing those of opposing opinions has become the default conversation of choice by those who have allowed fear, not faith, to form the content of their words and the integrity of their speech. The word "demonize" is formed by the word "demon" and the addition of...
