I recently watched a video about hyenas. They make an annoying shriek. When an entire group of hyenas is shrieking en masse, it gives off a mocking sound. At certain times, the voices of disagreement we hear in our culture sound like a pack of hyenas shrieking in...
When God exposes our sin, He has a purpose for that exposure. He wants to set, and in some cases, reset the boundary of our lives where the Lord, not our rebellion against Him, defines our lives. Micah was a prophet. He prophesied about the people's accountability for...
Learning how to rest in God is one of the most powerful experiences we can have in our lives of faith. The more we learn how to rest in God, the things we pursued to fill the void of our emotional and spiritual restlessness will diminish their influence on our lives....
The word “spectrum” is being used with increasing frequency to describe a wide variety of interpretations regarding human sexuality. An alphabet soup of choices on the sexual spectrum is being displayed, even encouraged, as valid choices for people to make. While the...
There are times when the Lord will ask us to step into a situation that, according to a natural interpretation of an outcome, would spell our doom. Those who take these steps of faith, steps that contradict conventional wisdom and human reasoning, will be the ones who...
During certain seasons of life, we will walk through a darkened landscape where it's difficult to see the way forward. In those moments, we need to slow down to ensure we are placing our feet on the solid ground of truth not assuming our next step. Before we take our...
This is not a warm and fuzzy prophetic word that will make us feel good. It is a somber warning. Unless we understand its reality, we will become unwitting victims of something we do not need to experience. A recent news report advised that a snapping turtle, an...
The Navy SEALS obstacle course is one of the most challenging tests of human endurance in the world. The first thing to go is a participant's grip strength. Climbing walls, shimmying up multiple ropes, and traversing walls pump so much blood and lactic acid into a...
We are living in a time like none that I have seen in my life. Wisdom and the word of God will be needed to navigate what is coming. A naïve “Que sera sera” attitude will become a dangerous stumbling block for many people of faith if certain precautions are not set in...
Recently, I wrote about the intersection of history we have entered where spiritual deception, emotional instability, and mental illness are colliding with truth. The unresolved issues creating these collisions are being celebrated in the news and within the social...
While the devil is a hungry devourer “prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour” (I Peter 5:8), something far more profound is taking place. People who are living in prisons of deception and despair who are easy prey for the devil have been...
Increasingly, while looking up information to make a purchase, after reading the promotional material provided by the seller, I go to the comment section. It is there I can discover a customers real life experience and opinion about a product. I experienced this...
I once talked with a close friend battling an aggressive form of cancer. He had a loving wife and together they raised wonderful kids. Whatever happened in this life never robbed him of his love for God and family. What I noticed about my friend was his faith. It...
Yesterday, I went looking for a car for my son while he was at work. The few cars he could afford had already been purchased before I saw the ads on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. One twenty-year-old Buick had low miles and the right price, but it was sold...
I just listened to an impassioned video by Jim Caviezel, the actor who portrayed Jesus in the movie, The Passion of the Christ. The video struck a chord in me. He is a straight-up follower of the Lord in real life, not just on the screen. You could hear the dismay in...
