The security of a national border is like the borders we place upon our lives that establish a defining barrier expressed by the wisdom of Scripture. Without placing borders on our lives we will be eventually overcome by unvetted invaders who will compromise our...
I remember the first time I publicly prophesied in a church service. It happened at Faith Center in Eugene, Oregon. That Sunday was just a few weeks after the Lord met me in the middle of the night and radically changed my life. As the worship service began, I...
As the election cycle ramps up in America, we need clarity regarding the decisions we make. We need to be clear in what we believe because our actions will follow the choices we make. Is what we are facing a political or a moral issue? There has been a move of recent...
Some of you have been living your life in such a predictable way the thought of something supernatural and unexplainable happening is not on your radar. You have been asleep in the slumber of the predictable. You have been faithfully managing the affairs of your life...
As a young man, I hunted with a bow and arrow. I no longer hunt but recall some great memories with friends chasing elk and deer through the mountains of Montana and Oregon. Each summer was filled with practice and preparation for the annual week in hunt camp. Many...
On the Day of Pentecost, no one was expecting the events to unfold as recorded in Scripture. It was a complete surprise, even though the prophet Joel spoke of the events of Pentecost 800 years before they happened. In John 20, days before Pentecost took place, the...
