“If the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us?” – the question of Gideon in Judges 6:13 Some of you have been wondering the same thing as Gideon. Praise has felt hollow. Prayer has become wearisome. The…

Sometimes you come across a bible verse or two that seemingly holds nothing of importance to you in the moment. Sometimes the Holy Spirit nudges you to go back and read it again. Sometimes, when you read it the second or third time, you discover a little treasure that you had previously missed. That’s what happened to…

“God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world – what is viewed as nothing – to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us-our righteousness, sanctification,…

Hey, friends! I was invited last June to be one of 70+ authors, pastors and leaders to collaborate on a book on the topic of Revival. Pastor Todd Smith of the North Georgia Revival spearheaded this project which brings together multiple voices from various denominations and backgrounds to help us to understand God’s heart on…

“Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word.” – 1 Kings 18:21 We need prophets like Elijah today. Where are the men…

“Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?” These ancient words of Jeremiah in Lamentations 1:12 are on my mind this morning. He desperately wanted his generation to deeply consider the destruction of their homeland due to their sin. He did not want them to push it out of their minds. He did…

Psalm 141:1-3 “O LORD, I call upon you; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice! Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of…

Hi, friends. It has been a while since I have personally posted here because, well, frankly, life has been happily boring these days during my ministry sabbatical. In case you had not heard, I am now officially cancer free. My healing did not come in an instant miracle, but the end result is so good…

Hi, everyone. I hope you can take a few moments and watch the video below that will give our Transforming Truth friends and family an update about my health and my plans for ministry for the rest of this year. As mentioned in the video, there is also a link to a more detailed explanation…

Weakened? Forgotten? Seeking to move on from a personal fumble? Exhausted with life, people, barriers and breakdowns? I have earned a Masters Degree in those areas. More than once in my life, I have needed the help of God in my season of spiritual suffocation. “We do not have a high priest who is unable…

For the last three months I’ve been in a personal, intense health battle as all of my focus and resources were directed towards beating the cancer in my body. I can say with joy that I’ve exited that war and am on the upswing of merging back into what it feels like to be human…

“Through Him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance… more than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom…

With so many of us sequestered away from what once constituted our normal lives, I would like to share something that the Father has been speaking to me about in my own life. Let me share a word today about something many of us routinely battle: fragile nets. “Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net…

Hi, everyone. Have you caught your breath since the Corona-chaos hit the globe? I think I am beginning to. All of us have been rocked by this tiny microbe that has brought the planet to a grinding halt. My own bout with cancer was already draining some of my mental resources and – BAM –…

Nobody ruins my day. Nobody steals my hope. Nobody makes me angry. Nobody robs me of joy. As a matter of fact I am fully capable of doing all of that on my own, and would like to step up and say that when my day is ruined, when I am afraid or angry, or…

If you happen to have it all together, then I congratulate you and ask for you to pardon me for what is written below. If you do not have it all together, then I hope you will be helped by a prayer I wrote this morning to our faithful and true Father. I love Him…but…

figuring it out as I go

You woke up with something motivating you today. We rarely pause to consider it deeply, but something drives us. It is an intangible, invisible force pulsing somewhere inside of you and it facilitates how you are living out your life. Even the demotivated, the unstirred, apathetic and lazy person is motivated – these people are…

What a whirlwind season this has been and is becoming. Many thanks to all of you who have shown support since my cancer diagnosis. I have another surgery scheduled for this Friday to remove a second area where they have found it, but the rest of my body looks squeaky clean. Praise the Lord. The…

With my last few posts being focused on the cancer diagnosis I received a few weeks ago, I wanted to post something today with a little bit more of an encouraging vibe to it. Before doing so, let me say thank you to all of you who have ministered to me and my family as…

We received the plan from the oncologist this week, and thought it would be good to post it here for those who are praying for me. I feel great and have just about fully recovered from the surgery. My radiation treatments begin on March 2nd and are scheduled to last for 6 weeks (5 days…

On Sunday, I was not able to be in our church services, but Amy and the kids were. Amy was invited to give an update about how we were doing as a family with the cancer diagnosis that had come just 48 hours earlier. I was watching on the Livestream and found her words so…

Here is the latest update on the new journey upon which I find myself walking in trust. I apologize to my deaf friends as I am working from home and do not have the captioning software to add the text to the video on my home computer. I may be working out of the house…

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to post a quick note this morning and let you know that I will head into surgery in a few hours. The hospital called late Monday night and told us that the surgery had been bumped up from an afternoon slot to a morning slot. Amy and I will arrive…

For those who follow Jesus wherever He wisely chooses to lead, there will be seasons in the shadowed valley. Not every measured time period in our lives will be lived out atop the mountain of victory. Part of our call to faith-filled lives of trust and obedience in Jesus require that we are piercingly tested…

Hey, everyone. We shared with our church family some news that came to me recently about a medical challenge I am facing. The video below brings us up to date. I hope you will watch it and pray for me. Also, if you are on Facebook, join the group (Lyle Breakthrough Group) that our media…
