I listened to an interview with the author of the book The Vibe Shift. He said people are realizing a gap between what we have been told is true and what is false. People are seeing the distance increasing between those two realities, and it’s creating a vibe. This...
When a person is born again, their mind is not yet renewed. The renewal of our minds is a process that takes place over time under the direction of the Spirit. Someone can gain stature and prominence within the Church but still minister out of an unrenewed mind. This...
I must admit something. There are times when a negative issue seems out of my control in my mind and thoughts of doom and dread fill my thinking, that I begin rehearsing negative outcomes. Perhaps this is enhanced in me because for the years I spent as a cop, I...
Getting even is never an increase. It keeps the participants living at a lower level of mutual dysfunction. Choosing to forgive your adversary will release you from the control of the offense. Continuing to bless your enemy after you make the initial choice to forgive...
Last night, I read an article in our small-town newspaper. The author was writing about the woodland trails that surround our city. He mentioned hiking and pointed out the benches provided along the trails as places for hikers to stop and rest. Then he mentioned...
Recently, I watched a video about a new elevator system. Traditional elevators move people up and down between floors. This new elevator adds another function. It can also move passengers side to side, laterally between floors. This up and down, side to side movement...
Life with a new puppy is a unique experience. We have been here before, so it’s no surprise. It is a constant vigil for accidental piddles and making sure our little Boone boy knows how to fit into his new pack. By the way, he is such a good pup. He is a...

Many of us are sensing a shift taking place in our spiritual lives. This shift is not always accompanied by a change in geography or employment. It is a deeper shift that takes place in the realm of the Spirit. As I was processing that idea, I saw an image of...
Prophetic words spoken long ago and forgotten by many will soon come to pass. God has not forgotten these words. They have been resting without ignition for this moment in history. When they are released, they will have explosive results. I was prompted by the Lord to...
The sound of your voice cannot be silenced if your words are empowered by the heart and will of God. If God has given you something to say, He will make way for you to be heard. Truth spoken in love is the most potent sound made on Earth, and it cannot be...
God is creating alliances of believers who realize the current expression of the Church is not agile enough to accomplish The Great Commission. These individuals also know it will not be enough to fill yet another stadium for a stand-alone, uplifting gathering or...
