A former missionary friend of mine, Gregory Fisher, posted something that occurred when he served in West Africa. Gregory’s life has been marked by similar situations when the Spirit’s power challenged hell’s hold on people. Gregory wrote, “Things changed drastically...
We live in a time that resembles an evil that has been present in the lives of God’s people across time and covenants. Not heeding the warnings of Scripture is to be led down a path of destruction that will eventually weaken our faith and cause us to follow lies...
We have entered a time of increasing division within the Church. We are being divided over lesser issues. We are currently seeing this happen because of our political opinions. No matter how important some of those issues are, they are not what should divide us. This...
When I worked as a narcotics agent in a regional task force, one thing we learned was how to tail a suspect vehicle without being detected. It took a team of officers to execute a successful tail. To tail a suspect, we would employ several unmarked cars, each one...
I’ve seen something happening in the Western Church that concerns me. Some have assumed that faith in Jesus happens without a commitment from us. Faith in Jesus is not an assumption or something that just happens. At some point, our faith in the Lord must have a...

One person’s misinformation can be another person’s truth. These are confusing times for those who have not established what is true. We need to weed through what is presented to us as a “fact” to discover the truth of the matter, even if it contradicts our...
Jan and I took communion with those gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Million Woman Movement. As we watched the video feed, the Mall was covered by men and women who were aligning themselves with the courage of Esther. As we took communion, praise was being...
One of the most powerful things we can discover in this life is the reminders of God's love expressed through the people who love us. Those reminders link us to our history and encourage us to do for others what that reminder gave to us. In 1951, during the Korean...
We are living in a time when we need to put our trust in the power of God’s presence. The presence of God expressed through His people is what raises concern in the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 114 began by reminding Israel of their miraculous escapes when the...
A couple of years ago, I was awakened in the middle of the night by what sounded like full auto gunfire near our home. I sprung out of bed and went into full tactical mode gearing up with what I needed to protect my family not knowing where the gunfire was coming...
