Any unconfessed sin we tolerate in our lives will have terrible consequences. These hidden sins have destroyed the reputations of individuals, the legacy of a family, and, sadly, they mar the Lord's reputation among His people and become a sad witness before the...
I’ve seen it happen many times in my lifetime: someone sins and disgraces the Lord and the mission of the Church, and a flurry of exposure takes place. When sin is discovered in the camp, people want a pound of flesh to prove their point, punishing the guilty beyond...
All people are spiritual beings, but not all are spiritually minded. Being spiritually minded only comes in a relationship with Jesus, where our minds are renewed from dead spirituality to a resurrected way of thinking. That resurrected way of thinking will affect how...
I’ve noticed a trend developing in the Church, particularly in the Western Church. It’s a shying away, even an ignoring of the Old Testament. This avoidance is occurring because some teachers have taught us to believe that the Old Testament is somehow in conflict with...
As I was reading through Luke chapter 2, I saw a concerning image. It was of a person who realized, by the choices they made, to remove themselves from the place where God told them a promise would be fulfilled. In their moment of realization, panic set in. They began...
I've always believed the accounts of Jesus' miracles. I have carried that belief since the day I was first saved as a young boy. It has been an unshakeable belief in what the world considers to be impossible. In that belief, I held onto my young and innocent faith,...
There comes a time in our process of spiritual maturity that we stop crying about the pains of life we experience. It is there when we discover a critical truth. The attached quick video explains what I am thinking....
The phrase “the fear of God” has received a bad reputation from those who do not understand its meaning. This fear is a reverence for the Lord, and it’s nothing to shy away from, even when some people want to write it out of the pages of Scripture for fear that it...
Last week, Jan and I hiked one of the trails that surround our town. We had to cut across our historic cemetery to continue our hike. As we walked across the cemetery property, I noticed a stack of plastic coffin containers. These containers are used to place a coffin...
We see the debris of what is called the Deep State expressed in the governments of nations. Some in the Church attempt to fight this battle in the natural realm rather than in the realm of the Spirit. In doing so, their efforts remain futile, and nothing changes. We...
This week, Elon Musk revealed the latest version of AI (Artificial Intelligence). It is called Grok 4. Its development will come in the next few years and will be powerful beyond our wildest imagination. This level of AI will gather all available information regarding...
God's word confronts those who fail to teach in clear terms what offends God. These teachers refuse to say what needs to be said. This happened in the history of Israel just as it continues to happen in our day. By bringing the content of this word, what I am writing...
With yet again another conflict taking place in the Middle East and various parts of the Church trying to define the conflict and its perpetrators, the Lord still honors His pledge to Israel. We talk about the civil government of Israel as being different than the...
On a recent hike, I discovered the discarded door from an old, abandoned car. Over the years, the door had become a target. It was filled with bullet holes. The shot-up door resembles some of you who feel discarded and shot through by betrayal and abandonment. The...
The Lord spoke a powerful sentence in the middle of His confrontation of the people's ability to create idols who cannot perform or stand on their own, "I have prepared you even though you do not know me" (Isaiah 45:5). All of our life is a preparation to believe in...
