There are times when nature will announce what God is about to do. On July 29, 2025, a large earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 took place in Kamchatka, Russia. Kamchatka lies at the eastern edge of Russia and borders Alaska. That immense earthquake set in motion what...
As believers, we have lived for years with great freedom of expression. That freedom was not challenged in a way that caused any measure of harm. At most, it was only criticized in conversations and debates. With the death of Charlie Kirk, we received an intense and...
There are some relationships where it becomes necessary to create distance in the relationship, no longer listening to someone's comments, and allowing their misunderstanding to affect us. Creating that distance will open the door for the Spirit to begin to work on...
Enduring through the struggles of life can reduce our list of true friends. Those true friends are people who remained faithful to us when others ran away when times got tough, even dangerous. In those conflicts, we will discover who it was that had our back and...
One reason some churches become weak is their unchallenged tolerance of people who create division among their members. This division is not about sharing differing opinions about life, politics, or personal preferences. It's a division that creates doubt in a...
Many people seek out teachers who will say what they want to hear, not what they need to hear. The desire to be liked and accepted has caused some teachers to create watered-down representations of God’s truth. It's a popular way of leading because it can draw a crowd...
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are being replaced by the common sense of Competence, Skill, and Merit. The latter is what keeps us safe. The former puts us in a place of jeopardy. This is true not only for the culture and its institutions, but it’s also true for...
I’ve noticed some followers of Christ exhibit a passive-aggressive attitude when they attempt to bring correction to those who hold an opposing view. Passive aggression is an indirect expression of resistance toward another person. They want to look and sound...
It has become hip in some circles to struggle with God’s word, the Church, and matters of faith. These struggles aren’t struggles with God’s word, abusive people in the Church, or matters of faith that require we take a stand to uphold the truth. They have become a...
Many pulpits preach without the kind of clarity that is needed to strengthen the Church. They do not address what is contrary to God’s truth. Their teaching will compromise the truth and teach things that will weaken the Church. If a person has been called to teach,...
The deeper our faith moves the simpler it must become. All our theories and presumptions must fall away if we are to believe the simple truths of God and His word. Those who have an explanation for everything and form rigid religious formulas will become the most...
The Lord's return has been described as coming like a thief in the night. His surprise arrival will affect those who have rejected Him, not those who have waited for Him aware of His immediate return. When Paul described Jesus's return, he wrote, “The Lord himself...
Ten years ago, I began to write and publicly prophesy about a reset that would take place in the Church. That reset would significantly impact the Church and challenge attempts to control the nations where the Church was present. In 2020, the World Economic Forum...
It’s hard to love some people. Some are difficult to love even on their best days. Loving the unlovely is a critical part of the Church's mission. The most obnoxious people need to experience God’s love the most. This is a challenge because unredeemed sources...
It was almost 50 years ago when I heard my pastor, Roy Hicks, Jr., say a phrase in one of his sermons. He said we should learn how to live this life “contending with contentment.” Those three words became one of the badges of my faith that I have carried with me over...
