When the spirit of anarchy is afoot in a nation, it can inspire people to commit evil and dishonorable acts. It can also cause people to support those who want to see those evil and dishonoring acts take place. Sadly, it can also stir up those in the Church who lack...
It has been too easy for some people to downplay the impact of Scripture and the principles it reveals, especially those found in the Old Testament. God's principles and truths remain unchanged in both covenants. In an age where we can too easily dismiss hard truths...
The Lord leads His people into spiritual conflict with weapons of warfare that seem insignificant and ineffective in natural battles. Those weapons will be dismissed because they seem insignificant when faced with the spiritual giants of the culture. The story of...
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...
From time to time we need to top off our faith in spiritual warfare. No matter what we see around us, it’s important to keep our faith alive and functional should the need arrive to engage the enemy of our faith. Training people with a weapon requires that we do...
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...

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...
