We live in a time when people believe foolish lies, calling them the truth and forming their faith around those errant assumptions. It is happening now, just as it did when Paul was preaching. The point to which our faith is attached is the resurrection of Jesus from...
The Spirit has placed gifts in the Church not just for our edification and healing. Some have a different purpose. One of the gifts of the Spirit is the ability to call out an error that can lead a Church to veer off the path of truth and embrace an error. When Paul...
In a marriage, we don’t have a partner. We have a husband or wife—a man and woman united in a unique expression of oneness with God. While a husband and wife may partner together in the responsibilities of this life, it is their bond of marriage, not the tasks they...
While there are many things to pray about in your life, keep an eye on Israel. This is a moment like it was for Gideon. Gideon had 22,000 soldiers, but only 300 chose to not drink the water with their heads buried in the water. The 300 drank while watching for the...
Last night, I had a dream. I was walking through my old neighborhood in Los Gatos, California. It was the place where all my childhood remembrances were created. The homes were now desolate and in disrepair. No one was living there. It was like something had moved...
A rise in understanding among those not affiliated with a formal position within a group or a denomination is beginning to surface. These unrecognized ones will help us interpret Scripture. The words of Scripture were written for the common folk. They were not written...
Every situation of life contains redemption. It is in the redemption where we see God's heart and experience the depths of His redemption. When Joseph was tossed into a pit and sold as a slave by his brothers, the Lord knew he would be used as a redeemer. After all...
I asked a person about the church they attend and how they pray. They said they were only teaching the basics of the faith. I asked them how would they pray. There was silence on the other side of the conversation. As believers, we do need to understand what is...
Yesterday, I wrote a single sentence that had an error. A couple of friends who are part of my Facebook wall let me know. I always appreciate those responses. I thought I had corrected the mistake but missed it. It was like the error was off my personal radar, even...
Whatever is in your future, after many failures and for the sake of holiness, God’s calling will eventually come into existence. Wait and continue to love God with all your heart; you will eventually see what God has called you to become. Two things began to take...
In the Church, we all see things through different tribal visions of the same thing. It is all about love, just a different image. Some are peaceful. Others are more intense. By understanding a larger image of love, something we may not yet realize, we can become...
The current manifestations of evil we see happening in our world are the revelation of ancient spirits. They are not something new. We need to look past the current colloquial application of these spirits to see their first mention and application in history as...
It has been announced that President Biden will travel to Israel on Wednesday to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu. Apart from the obvious prayers offered for his safety and the safety of others in the meeting, we need to pray against something I sensed this morning that...
The words Jacob spoke, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I wasn’t even aware of it!” (Genesis 28:16) are words many of you will declare in the next season of your unfolding personal history. Jacob uttered these words when he awoke one morning while on his journey...
