Last night, I had a hard time falling asleep. I was troubled and restless. It caused me to get out of bed to spend time with the Lord. I realized I was being stirred by the increase in demonic activity in our nation. I sensed a great power struggle taking place in the...
I remember seeing a video of a combat veteran loading the magazine of his weapon. After loading the magazine, he raised it up to his helmet and tapped it a couple of times to make sure all the rounds were properly seated. Tapping a magazine removes any gaps and...
I was hiking the trails above our home and saw a man approaching. He was walking with his head down, appearing bent over. He could only see what was immediately before him. The trail was moist from rain and allowed for quiet hiking. I decided to see how close I could...
When historians look back and review this time in our national history, what will they write? Honest historians will write with reflective clarity seeing in retrospect what we have been trying so hard to comprehend. Today, many are trapped in shallow layers of...
Critics in the Church come and go like the cycles of ocean tides. They run up on the beach of the Church to make their claim and then recede, leaving behind the hissing foam of their declaration of judgment. Over the years, I have noticed several areas where critics...
In Psalm 86:17, David made a request of the Lord, "Send me a sign of your favor." When opposition was coming against David from all quarters, and his circumstances were overwhelming, he knew to recognize the favor of God on His life would bring much a needed...
Today, as one who served in pastoral ministry for many years, I want to share something with my fellow pastors, church leadership, and those who love and pray for the local church. These are unprecedented times that will require of us deeper levels of wisdom and...
Amid the Coronavirus pandemic, a perfect storm is taking place. The spiritual storm systems of isolation and suspicion are joining with the fear created by an unseen and predatory virus. These influences are beginning to merge, creating a superstorm of unimagined...
Every life-assignment requires some form of gear. Gear is that equipment you make sure is ready and functional in case the stuff of life hits the fan. Before an operation, a special forces operator does a final check of their gear to make sure everything is in place...
It never ceases to amaze me how some people will negatively interpret what we write or speak. Some personal filters are so biased it does not matter how clear something is written or spoken, their personal bias hijacks their reasoning and interpretation. At that...
The life-road you have been traveling has been filled with potholes, dust, and dirt. The speed at which you thought your life would have moved forward has been hindered by these conditions. You wanted to press the accelerator but could not, fearing the relational...
This is a moment in history where a significant global shift is taking place. It can seem overwhelming to try and understand all that is happening in the world. It can feel like someone trying to walk across uneven ground wearing a blindfold. It can make you feel as...
If the news coming out North Korea about either the death or vegetative state of Kim Jung Un after a failed surgery is accurate, something significant is taking place in Asia. I wondered why the Lord had me hold a word for a few weeks to finally share it this morning...
God puts people in places of authority for purposes we may never fully understand. Whether they remain in that position for the full course of God’s intended purpose, on the one hand, is a choice they must make, but ultimately God will determine the longevity of their...
I’ve noticed something, or rather, had it confirmed once again. In a time of peace or when no global trauma is taking place, smartasses have an audience. They are like the schoolyard bully no one confronts, until one day when someone does, and then they are no longer...
