As the Lord continues to reset His Church amid all the exposures and the back-and-forth of denials, He is doing something new in the Church, not just with those who have abandoned what true prophecy is supposed to be, but with all members of the Church, no matter...
We must be careful where we place our trust. A misplaced trust will put us in a place of spiritual and emotional jeopardy where disappointment and disillusionment are sure to come. This is why some fall away from the faith. They did not continue to trust in God or His...
In the New Covenant life, we are supposed to be encouragers. That’s not all of our assignment. There are times when encouragement will be displaced by a warning. These warnings have occurred across the timeline of Scripture, from Genesis to the end of Revelation. What...
Yesterday, I heard sirens blaring from across town. When I hear a distant siren, I pray for God’s mercy to appear before the police or ambulance arrives. The sound of a siren has another effect on me. As a cop when I encountered a dangerous situation that required...
The Lord recently spoke an unusual word to me. The word was “primal.” One definition of the word primal is the actions of a knuckle-dragging and primitive-thinking Neanderthal kind of person who has not developed spiritually or emotionally. The other definition of the...
During this season, the voices we are listening to are especially important. Listen, discern, and choose wisely. https://www.facebook.com/1442665059/videos/1577034696569642
Jan and I recently talked with a couple of pastors and described how God had led our lives. The essence of what we were saying was that God had led us to the place where we now live not by our wisdom, but by the sound of His voice. We did not plan our way forward – we...
There is so much that needs to be redeemed in our world. Impingements on our freedoms and expressions of evil are increasing. Until the Lord moves, what should we do? Any correction of a culture must be based on God’s timing, not our impatience regarding what we see...
This week I watched an interview with someone that was unsettling. Because of his background, the person being interviewed was intimately aware of what is happening in our nation regarding our open borders and the unchallenged influx of people we do not know who have...
When the Lord said He has cattle on a thousand hills, He wasn’t referring to provision, though it can be inferred when we are experiencing lack and in need of provision. It was a statement about the kind of worship that pleases the Lord. The Lord wanted to get the...
A fear of death is what motivates the choices many people make in this life. Where they place their trust will produce either peace or turmoil, depending upon who or what they follow. Not all the choices people make to preserve their lives are good. Some of those...
There are times when Scripture speaks loudly from history into our present moment. We are living in such a time. God is still God and He has not changed no matter how soft we make our theology. God is actively at work in the nations because it's in the context of our...
Having spent several years as a Law Enforcement officer, I can address this topic with some credibility. Life is very different today than when I served, but the principles of good and true law enforcement remain for those who practice its ethics. We are entering a...
The evidence that God is among us is the stillness of our hearts in times of trouble and danger. It is in that place of knowing God is here among us that His presence will begin to reorder our thoughts and determine our actions. A crescendo of evil is unfolding in our...
I was once in a strategic meeting of religious leaders where their plan for my life expressed a corporate spirit, not the Spirit of God. A political gathering under the disguise of spirituality empowered the meeting. Early in the meeting, I could see what was...
