Yesterday, we had a stove cleaner come to clean our woodstove. It is a yearly event required to prepare the stove for the burning season. To neglect cleaning our stove will affect both its efficiency and our safety. As I looked at the stove after the cleaner left, it...
During breakfast a few minutes ago, Jan and I watched an interview on the Tucker Carlson Network with a man named John Rich. Rich is a singer who had a profound download from Heaven. As a result of that download, he wrote a song called Revelation. As he spoke about...
There are two kingdoms active on Earth – the kingdom of man and the Kingdom of God. We need to understand the distinction between the two because our hope for the future will only remain intact when we are devoted to Jesus and His Kingdom. Of the Lord’s Kingdom,...
In social media, there is something called “sponsored content”. Sponsored content is advertisement space a person or business purchases to push a product or a video repeatedly before a select audience. It is an attraction device. I have come to not like sponsored...
Normally, when I travel to speak somewhere my host will reserve a room fo me in a comfortable hotel. I really appreciate that consideration. This trip is no exception. The beautiful hotel and its wonderful amenities allow me to be fresh and rested during my...
Back in the 1980s, I remember reading some facts about Christian television. The profiled demographic of the average watcher was a female who lived in the South and was in her mid 50’s. While people from a differing demographic did watch Christian television, the pool...
We have a lot of interesting comments, quips, and quotes that we toss around in the community of faith. Some of these are well-meaning, but not always fully true. We can comment, quip and quote ourselves into strange corners if we take everything we hear or...
A great confusion of the enemy and his message is beginning to take place. In the coming days, bizarre and insane-sounding agendas will be exposed and dismantled in the public square. This confusion will take place at a deeper level where the influence of a deluding...
I took the attached photo of an empty signpost while on a walk through the small town where Jan and I live. It looks like city workers planted the signpost in the ground with plans to attach a sign in the near future. After I walked past the bare signpost, I...
I met a friend for breakfast at one of those establishments where the waitress calls everyone “honey” and the food is down home. The smells coming from the kitchen and the overall ambiance of the place let me know that a plate of biscuits and gravy was somewhere in my...
There are times when we ask God for a turnaround that He will simply spin us around 360 degrees and have us facing in the same direction. When God does this don’t get angry or give up. You are being given another chance to see what you did not see before the...
The majority of prophetic words are not specific to individuals or groups. Predictive words or words that are spoken to individuals with great detail and accuracy are surely in the mix, but they are rare. In the last 40 years, I have delivered these specific words...
Everything of significance that Jan and I are doing today grew from a place of pruning. In some cases, the pruning was severe and unwelcomed. At the start of the pruning process, the pain was so intense we wanted to avoid it at all costs, but we chose to remain....
My teaching is not limited to public gatherings like a Sunday morning church service or a conference setting. Many times I am offered an itinerary where I am able to speak with the primary leadership team of a church or business. This is where I believe deeper...
What would happen if all the communication platforms available to the Church were withdrawn? What if social media became a censored police state and media outlets no longer allowed people of faith to share their point of view? I have asked myself those “what if”...
