We are living in a time when we need to put our trust in the power of God’s presence. The presence of God expressed through His people is what raises concern in the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 114 began by reminding Israel of their miraculous escapes when the...
A couple of years ago, I was awakened in the middle of the night by what sounded like full auto gunfire near our home. I sprung out of bed and went into full tactical mode gearing up with what I needed to protect my family not knowing where the gunfire was coming...
This is a noisy time in our culture. In the noise, here is what we need to do. https://www.facebook.com/1442665059/videos/1247784416648162
I shared the following paragraph with someone who is substantially gifted in the technology surrounding the use of the Internet, website design, and social media applications. I wrote, “The city gate is where the business of a community took place in ancient times....
Hang onto your credibility hat. Just when we thought we could not be living in stranger times, activity in the heavens is taking a strange turn. Findings from the Pentagon’s UFO unit were recently reported by the New York Times. One consultant to the Pentagon briefed...
The cultural shift some foretold was coming has already taken place. What we see playing out in the streets, courts, and politics of our nation are manifestations of that change. The smoke of conflict is beginning to drift away, revealing what actually happened when...
To those of you who lead anything - a business, a church, or a family – God knows what you are facing. You are giving it your best, and yet you still have a lingering suspicion that your best might not be enough or that somehow you have missed an important step...

When I was a young cop, my training officer taught me a lot. I watched how he moved through a hostile crowd of drunks in a bar. He was able to read a crowd. One thing he did was to determine who was the most dangerous person in the room. This is the person who, if not...
The Lord doesn’t want to define us by the obedience of a past generation. He is calling men and women in our day who will be just as honored in history as “…the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do” (I...
We will not magically emerge from what is taking place in our culture and return to what we once knew. We have stepped into a new season. Before we rebuke all that is happening in a knee-jerk response, we need to make sure we aren’t rebuking an adjustment...
There is a great deal of conversation taking place in our culture about the subject of freedom. Today, I took a look at what Scripture tells us about true freedom. It became for me a meaningful personal reminder and a point of clarity. While some may say this only...
A moment of distraction has been created by a virus and social issues, both of which are important to address, but they are not on the front line of a developing global confrontation. Where our eyes are focused will determine our place in the coming conflict. At this...
We have always been at war spiritually. There has never been a time of peace between light and darkness. Jesus didn’t paint a rosy picture of how truth lives in a world of compromise and deception. Paul wrote about a battle waged in a realm not always visible to...
We have become walking and talking encyclopedias offering evidence to support our position for what we think ails humanity. As we stand naively confident in our assumption, we are unaware that soon the Lord will speak. At that moment, all of our best guesses and...
