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,...
As a young rookie cop in training, I rehearsed my response to critical situations. What would I do if a suspect pulled a gun on me? What would I do if someone tried to jump off a bridge and suicide attempt? What would I do if my duty weapon failed to fire? To those...
Today, I was in town taking care of a few errands. When I was driving out of a parking lot a new Ford Mustang GT was in line in front of me. I could hear the rumble of the exhaust and knew the driver would soon begin to accelerate and run the GT through its...
There are some valuable lessons we can learn from the painful experiences of 2020. One lesson I hope we learned is the difference between a Spirit-empowered cultural reformation and one that is empowered by political and religious spirits. A reformation empowered by...
What is taking place in your life isn’t a derailment even though it may seem that way. The Lord has laid a new track into new territory requiring a course correction. The old track was not able to lead you to the destination God had originally promised. You are not...

One of the most profitable tactics in the field of intelligence gathering is to embed an asset in the culture and institutions of an enemy. These embedded assets assume a strategic position to gather the information that will allow their government to know ahead of...
If the vessel of your hope has emptied and run dry and you feel like all hope is gone, the Lord says to you, ”I have waited for this time to come in our relationship. Without this emptiness, I could not perform in you what I have desired. I have waited for you to...
Along the Oregon coast, you can see what is called a ghost forest. The Neskowin Ghost Forest was created 2,000 years ago when the Cascadia Subduction Zone erupted creating a massive earthquake. An entire forest dropped in elevation during the earthquake and was...
The Lord is walking through our nation with the oil of His anointing dripping from His robe. As He moves among us, many have tried to affix a label to Him and have Him carry their message. The adhesive of their preference has not been able to attach these labels. The...
For the last several hours, I have written three different articles, each containing what I would consider as profitable content. As I finished each one, I did not have a green light from the Lord to press the publish button. I finally asked the Lord why and He let me...
Today, Jan and I were on a conference call with two dear friends who work on the cutting edge of Kingdom innovation. During our call, we talked of a sense we have that we have entered an in-between moment in history where the future is not yet fully defined. This...
