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...
The greatest danger to a nation is not a corrupt government. It's believers who have fallen asleep spiritually and remain silent. That state of slumber and silence ushers in compliance with government mandates without a deeper inquiry and will restrict the God-given...
Some leaders want to tell us how to live our faith spelling out in detail how we should live. These demands become like spiritual enclosures allowing no variation. They are dominated by people who want to control our faith not allowing any deviation. In Paul’s first...
I had an aunt and uncle who were twins. While fighting in the Pacific theater during World War II, my uncle would faithfully write his sister. One day on a visit to my aunt’s home, she opened a drawer and brought out a letter sent by my uncle while he was in a combat...
We all want to be on the right side of any issue. We want to remain aligned with our preferred affiliation and with those who believe the same way we do. We want this so much that we will do anything to prove that our rightness is God’s will. It is at that point that...
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...

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...
