As social issues heat up in America, some in the Church sadly reflect the thinking of unredeemed people, not the truths of God's Kingdom. We have been drowning in a pool of deception, and that deception has begun to influence the thinking of Christ's followers. The...
Looking across our nation, it's not difficult to see the cities and states where the devil is in control of politics. It is bearing increasingly bad fruit. God has another plan that is opposed by those who currently occupy seats of power. God's plan is to reveal His...
When the writer of Hebrews penned the words, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8), he was referring to the unchanging nature of the Lord. He was also writing a warning. The warning was mentioned in the next verse, "So do not be...
Some days, I will get an image or impression from the Lord not knowing what He is saying to me at the time. Yesterday, I saw a large porch, the kind older homes had that was large enough for families to gather without an agenda and interact with those who passed by....
Much of the terror we see playing out in people’s lives today and the resulting panic they express is because truth is invading places of deception. The Lord said to the Israelites, that He would drive out their enemies little by little “until your population has...
This morning, as I read Exodus 20 and the laws of God, I noticed the first verse in the Lord’s declaration of His commandments, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery” (20:2). I have always gone right past that verse to the...
If we don’t know what’s happening in our world how can we love our neighbor as ourselves?
The borders of nations are beginning to shift. In the shifting the fulfillment of the word of the Lord will be revealed. It will be like looking at a globe sitting atop a desk and then seeing something new rising into our understanding and overcoming the past borders....
While Jan and I have always tried to watch our words, of late, the Lord is taking us to a deeper place. Every word of complaint we have about this life must first be examined to denote the source of our complaint. After the mighty miracles leading up to the crossing...
For the last several decades of my life, I have realized that our perceived form of human dignity holds up long enough until real and primal evil appears on the doorstep of our home wanting to bring harm and death. At that point, all our arguments and perceived...
In the many plagues God brought upon Egypt, it was not the people of Egypt who were the problem. It was Pharoah. The book of Exodus tells us, “Now the Lord had caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people of Israel. And Moses was considered a very great man...
Long before compound bows and graphite arrows came into being, the kind of bows with all the pulleys and cables attached, I hunted with either a longbow or recurve bow. Those simple bows were just sticks. They were a single stick of a bow with a string strung between...
I just took a truckload of debris to the dump. It reminded me of walking through my social media accounts of late. In those accounts are so many varied opinions about so much. After I paid my bill, I was directed to a large disposal center where huge tractors were...
I just checked out our local news cycle. It seems the battles in Israel and the incursion into Gaza are getting less and less attention. It’s not unusual. We need to rise higher in our understanding of what is happening to discern the heart of God. It is always about...
Yesterday, I was looking at the remaining coffee filters sitting in our kitchen drawer. I asked myself, “Where will I be when all of these are gone?” I did the same thing a few weeks ago when I got my recent oil change. Then again with our anticipated annual cleaning...
