Last week, I took my truck to a local tire dealer to have my tires rotated. I have done the tire rotation faithfully every 5,000 miles. My truck is twenty years old, so I’ve done these rotations faithfully for all of the 119,000 miles of the truck’s life. In this...
We have entered a very dangerous time in history. If we are not right with God and have our trust placed solidly in Him, as the future devolves into chaos, overwhelming evil will emerge leaving an unprepared person without hope. Many times, when a nation is in...
The people we choose to surround our lives with who will give us counsel and provide direction is an important decision to make. If we are insulated by the words and impressions of foolish people, we will be led away into error. This applies to all relationships and...
One of the most unique and fulfilling seasons in life is when we become spiritual fathers and mothers. This happens at about age 50 or so. That number is not absolute, but this assignment in life does require the accumulation of years. By this time, hopefully, we...
The door of access you have been praying about will soon open, but there will be a surprise. You have been focused on a single doorway into your future, yet the door God plans to open is not the one that has gained your attention. You didn’t miss it. Your...
Those of us living in the northwest part of the United States have been surrounded by massive wildfires all summer. Just two days ago, a new fire erupted south of the Oregon border and north of Redding, California. It exploded in size and became so dangerous that a...
Jan and I said goodbye to cable TV about 8 years ago, and we have never looked back. We did the same thing with a landline phone. We now only use our cell phones. Right after our cable TV service was terminated, we went to Netflix, Hulu and now, Amazon Prime. We...
Yesterday, a song from 1970 began to play on my Pandora account while Jan and I sat in our living room working on our computers. The song was, Wild World by Cat Stevens. When the song started, we both smiled and turned to look at each other. The song sparked a journey...
Every voice has an audience, and every audience has expectations. This applies to a stay at home parent whose life is focused on kids, a prophet with an international ministry platform or a local pastor who speaks before a congregation each Sunday. In the relationship...
Life can become a perilous journey when we choose to ignore the logic of Scripture and its historical context to affirm a favored theology or a point of doctrine. God gave us the gift of logic to keep us safe and sane when life around us seems dangerous and crazed....
When I wrote the book, Prayers from the Throne of God, little did I know it would become an emotional and spiritual source of encouragement highlighting our freedom and authority as believers. Yes, the book is about a different way to pray, but it also creates a way...
Lately, my dreams have been intensifying. The level of reality and color in what I dream is becoming high-definition in nature. Each night, I kneel at our bed and pray for the night. I pray for protection, and I pray for revelation in my dreams. Two nights ago,...
With the increasing volume of prophetic words being published each and every day, it can become overwhelming unless we read and listen to these words searching for a common thread. In the middle of all that is out there on social media and the broader Internet, the...
Everything in this life is passing away. At the end of all things, only love will remain. Our accomplishments, successes, and breakthroughs will eventually yield to the outcome of love. Love will purify all we have done and present everything to the Lord as the...
