The early church faced the same issues and schisms over false teachings that we face today. Fragile churches are left damaged and heartbroken. The Apostle John wrote his letters to bring the church back to clarity of faith and unity. He writes that the whole...

Aligning people with their God-Defined identity.
Wonder and Mystery
Make a place for wonder and mystery to always be present in your life and ministry. If you pastor a church, grow a family, or develop a business plan, there will be times when you find yourself falling into ruts of predictability. When you realize you have slipped...
Prayer in Desperate Times
Our global civilization is in an epoch cycle of change. This cycle of change will test the things we know and believe. Human solutions will fail with ever-increasing frequency because earthbound realities will not meet the needs of desperate people living in desperate...
WHEN ELDERS SPEAK
I've always appreciated the wisdom offered from past elders in the Church. Their wisdom faithfully plays out in the future, revealing our current reality. Derek Prince is one elder with such wisdom. In the attached video, Derek explained what is happening now in some...
THE MESSAGE IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MESSENGER
Our ministries, in whatever form those ministries are revealed, are to prepare the way for a visitation from Jesus. "The Lord now chose seventy-two other disciples and sent them ahead in pairs to all the towns and places he planned to visit" (Luke 10:1). Jesus had a...
THE MISSING INGREDIENT
The Lord wants to release a fresh move of His Spirit that will bring supernatural healing to the afflicted. There is one thing the Church needs to be willing to do before this happens. That one thing is the ability to identify and expose a demon's identity that is...
NEGLECTING EVIL SPIRITS
For some followers of Jesus, the influence of demonic spirits is neglected and not addressed. It can be too uncomfortable for some in this modern age when we think that, under the influence of our logic, we have no place for such a consideration. As a result, a...
THE WHEELS OF FORGIVENESS
Yesterday, I stopped at a gas station and began to pump gas into my pickup. An attendant working the pumps came out to check in with me. As the fuel continued to fill my tank, we struck up a casual conversation. For some reason, the subject of marriage came up. She...
TO REDEEM, NOT DESTROY
As I considered what was about to take place in the world, I saw the image of someone pulling back the cover on what had been concealed. As they pulled back the cover, what was revealed was not just something hidden on the surface. It revealed a deep stairway...
AVOIDING THE OLD TESTAMENT
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...
POSITIONED FOR A PROMISE
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...
CERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT WE BELIEVE
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,...
NO MORE CRYING
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 FEAR OF GOD
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...
NOW AND FOREVER
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...
