Years ago, I flew to Colorado Springs and traveled to a retreat and conference center called Glen Eyrie Castle. I was speaking to a group regarding overseas missions. Glen Eyrie is not just a castle. Multiple buildings make up the sprawling estate. Glen Eyrie is owned...
I am reading through Revelation again for the umpteenth time in my life. I don't know how many times I have read the book, but each time I do, I gain a new perspective of the Lord. With each word of instruction Jesus gave to John about the seven churches, the Lord...
Evil in our world produces its own kind of progeny. It creates offspring sourced in ancient deceptions. This was revealed in Genesis 6 when the angels that had rebelled against the Lord in Heaven came to Earth and procreated with humans to produce what were called the...
In the middle of the night, I was awakened by coyotes howling just up the canyon from our home. A coyote howl can be an intriguing and sometimes unsettling sound. The howling of a coyote is primarily an announcement to gather the rest of their family unit who were...
We have been instructed, as a goal for our lives, to be found on the right side of history. I would suggest something else. We need to be found on the right side of truth. The choice to be found on the right side of truth will redefine our place in history even though...
In the Church, many are experiencing a drift away from the absolutes of Scripture. Some of this has taken place because we sent our future leaders off to compromised seminaries and colleges. They came home to occupy our pulpits with an education that has either...
This week I met a friend for coffee. At one point in our conversation, the subject of flying came up. For ten years, I was a flight instructor and charter pilot in a part-time capacity and racked up a bit of flight time. As our conversation took an aeronautical...

While God is free to judge His people in any way and at any time He pleases, the majority of what appears to be God’s judgment is simply the consequence of our actions. The sad consequence of our sins and their accompanying misery grieves the Lord. In the book of...
There are some spiritual disciplines we are being offered that need a closer examination than just a cursory look. Take, for example, Eastern meditation. Some are trying to mix Eastern meditation with Christianity inviting people to seek a mind empty of all thought....
The Lord is raising the spirit of Gideon within the Church and the wider culture to demonstrate His power and authority. At first, those receiving this assignment will be reluctant because they think they do not have the qualifications to carry out the assignment....
Those living off the fat of personal gain at the expense of those they are assigned to sacrificially lead will eventually be challenged by God. The Lord will raise truth-tellers who will thrust truth into the gut of these abusers to set His people free from their...
Integrity in all its forms, whether it is spiritual, sexual, or financial integrity creates a protective layer. It keeps us from selling our souls to the highest bidder or being blackmailed into silence when we should speak the truth in love. The stage where our...
Every life has spiritual boundaries. The Lord sets these boundaries. They are not limitations; they are definitions where our spiritual authority functions best in concert with God’s empowerment. To not know the boundary of our Kingdom assignment will cause us to...
A faithful wife is a gift from God. A spiritually faithful wife is an even greater gift. Jan has always been faithful to never let me self-describe myself as anyone less than the man God created me to be. Whenever I allow myself to think less of myself, Jan will say,...
