Some of you do not have a prominent place in God’s Kingdom by human standards or measurement. You did not stand behind a pulpit or get asked to speak somewhere. You never wrote a book, published a blog, or sat for an interview to tap your wisdom. Instead, you have...
We know the depth of the Lord's sacrifice that He paid for our redemption. His sacrifice cost Him everything. Nothing we offer can equal His sacrifice, but we have been called to live a sacrificial life. Our sacrifice for the sake of expressing God's love and our...
Many will ask the Lord, “Why am I going through this?” Certain events in life are very painful and disruptive. Some wish they could understand the purpose behind the pain and disruptions they are experiencing. In David’s song of praise, he sang a song honoring God,...
The continuation of surprises is not finished. More are coming. The surprises will be revealed within the leadership of the Church and with those who hold positions of leadership in our nation. The Lord will not continue to bless sinfulness or the unholy exercise of...
We need to reverse the process of how we prepare for the emergencies of life. All the prepping in the world cannot match this single decision. Here's what I'm thinking. https://www.facebook.com/1442665059/videos/1891319941278321
I love the God of pre-time. I love the God of both the Old and New Testament and the intertestamental period. I love the God who will reign after time disappears and we are ushered into eternity. To not love this God in all His manifestations is the road to...
When we become part of the Church, we bring with us unhealthy ways of thinking that the Lord wants to change. One thing we bring is an unhealthy form of hero worship. From time to time, this misdirected understanding of a leader's role needs to be excised from our...
In the opening chapter of I Corinthians, Paul had a lot to say to the church in Corinth. He wanted believers to know the difference between earthly wisdom and power and the wisdom and power of God. Paul used his opening comments to set the stage for gaining that...
False teachers have always been present within the Church. It is nothing new. Often, we allow false teachers to remain in the Church unchallenged. Not all false teachers stand behind pulpits. Some have been given places of influence among us, even becoming...
The Lord said, “I am going to give to the givers.” Some of you have given your time, talent, and resources sacrificially without reservation. This is a time when God wants to return to you multiple times over what you have invested in others. When we let God be...
A few days ago, Jan and I drove to the town of Bandon on the Oregon coast. En route, we were way out in the country. We passed a wide spot in the road with a sign telling us we were passing through a place called Remote. There was a sign on the road announcing we were...
I heard the Lord say, “The clock is being paused.” I understood Him to mean the clock of time will be paused to expand and fulfill what the Lord wants to reveal and accomplish in His people. Time is not static. I can appear to us as unchangeable and inevitable in its...
It is easy to prematurely brand people and not understand the system that is leading them into error. John had some strong words to say about this issue. “Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of...
For those who are aware of what is currently happening in the world, Israel is preparing for war with various nations all bent on removing Israel from the face of the map. Proxy nations, all under the direction of Iran, are preparing to attack Israel with massive...
When I was a cop, I never liked getting a radio call to break up a bar fight. Bar fights made no sense because all the involved parties were drunk. In their state of intoxication, they abandoned good sense and began to randomly throw punches. When the fight was broken...
