We have been instructed, as a goal for our lives, to be found on the right side of history. I would suggest something else. We need to be found on the right side of truth. The choice to be found on the right side of truth will redefine our place in history even though...
In the Church, many are experiencing a drift away from the absolutes of Scripture. Some of this has taken place because we sent our future leaders off to compromised seminaries and colleges. They came home to occupy our pulpits with an education that has either...
This week I met a friend for coffee. At one point in our conversation, the subject of flying came up. For ten years, I was a flight instructor and charter pilot in a part-time capacity and racked up a bit of flight time. As our conversation took an aeronautical...
When you know God has given you something prophetic to share, either in word or print, your goal is to bring a simple, clear and uncluttered representation of what He intended to communicate. There will come a time when someone will attempt to hijack what you...
The Lord is about to perform a radical intervention in the affairs of earth. This radical intervention will be breathtaking because when God moves in these radical manifestations they will literally take our breath away in a gasp of wonder. Many are worried...
At the very beginning of my ministry, I remember receiving an invitation to join a gathering of fellow church planters who had been deployed from our home church, Faith Center, in Eugene, Oregon. Our pastor Roy Hicks, Jr. had sent out 100 of us to plant churches, so...
The prophetic words God speaks through us can set in motion a season of breakthrough in a person’s life. These words do not always carry with them the detailed instructions needed to walk out each step of the journey. Resist the urge to speak beyond...
There will be times when the intensity of certain social issues or the condition of culture will create unrestrained and passionate responses from people - even those who claim to speak for God. In these intense seasons of social dialogue people will demand a...
At some point, in order to effectively love a culture beyond simply matching the well-intentioned acts of kindness offered by a local service group, we must realize we have been called to deal with what Paul described in Ephesians as “spiritual forces of evil in high...
One of the most profound character traits of God is His mercy. For God to step through the curtain of time and interact with humanity required mercy. Mercy reveals the deep love of God for people who do not yet love Him and for those who profess to love Him, but...
Over the years, as I have served the Lord in various forms of prophetic ministry, I noticed something. The most accurate and life-impacting words come when spoken from a heart of humility. Humility works as a spiritual filter straining out the grit of our...
I write every day. Not all of what I write ends up on social media. Some things I write are on-going writing projects that could someday become a book or an article for publication. God has allowed some of what I write to occasionally gain a wider audience than I...
God is raising up unlikely heroes. These spiritual heroes have remained hidden and undiscovered in times of peace. God reveals His heroes in the middle of conflict with darkness and deceit when they choose to walk in truth and righteousness against the...
An old and familiar false promise has appeared once again. It’s hand is extended inviting you to resume a dance from your past. You gave yourself to the false promise of this music once before and it led you across a glittered dance floor away from your true...
It is possible to lose interest in a human interpretation of the Church, but not in God. If you have lost interest, allow God to refocus your vision. This refocusing will carry with it a new infusion of life and purpose that will help you see your circumstance with...
