The Right Thing The Wrong Way
There is a wrong way to do the right thing. How many times must we learn that God seeks to leads us from “the what” into “the how” of the what. The Almighty is not a celestial pragmatist that merely scans to see if an objective is being accomplished by His servant. He is a…
It’s Hard To Remain Simple
So, I have been teaching on the gifts of the Holy Spirit for several weeks, with several more weeks to go. Perhaps the thing which stands out to me more than everything else is that God’s Word constantly affirms our oneness with each other each time the variety of spiritual gifts in operation among us…
Making the Most of What Remains
Thinking about life’s pathway over the last few days, I sought to boil down what it is that I want to do with the remainder of the second half of my years. Statistically, I’m a good bit beyond the chronological mid-point of the average lifespan for an American male, so there cannot be the option…
Here Come The Prophets
The world is getting louder. Our culture is becoming bolder. Shut our eyes as we might, it is no longer possible to honestly say that things are going to improve apart from a Holy Spirit initiated awakening in America. Let’s hold to a semblance of integrity and call things as they are: America is in…
Settled No More
When I was in the fourth grade I made up my mind that I was going to be a disk jockey when I grew up. I had a dream of working by myself in a radio station with fat headphones on my ears and a big silver microphone in front of my mouth. I wanted…
Sorrow & Joy Together
“But I am poor and sorrowful: let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.” – Psalm 69:29 The Psalmist shares a secret that all believers know. He presents a paradox that all who hunger and thirst after God are familiar with. He inside-out’s us, and we nod our heads in agreement with this…
A New Season for Transforming Truth
God reserves the right to initiate changes throughout our lifetimes. Nobody’s life remains the same forever. For those who are following Jesus, there is the consistent component of change. Because Jesus does not stand still but, instead, moves forward as He leads His sheep, those who follow Him experience seasons wherein He takes us in…
My 2021 Break-Up Letter
January 29, 2021 Dear Doubt, Hey there. Please forgive the formality of me writing a letter to you. I know it seems weird, especially since we spent so much time together last year. I really felt like I needed to put my thoughts down on paper so you would understand clearly what I need to…
Politics & Culture: Who Are My People?
People have asked me multiple times over the last year why I don’t speak out more on political issues. Recently, I have received a few messages from a few people who wrongly assumed I had posted something on social media as a rebuttal to something political or cultural that they posted on their own timelines….
Positioning Yourself for Revival
All Christians would vote YES for revival to break out. We all want to see powerful conversions from spiritual death to eternal life. We want to witness an awakening sweep across a dull and dusty Church in America. I believe in healings and miracles…but I don’t see nearly enough of either one of these beautiful…
