Have you noticed that any mention of Christ is being taken out of almost everything? This is happening even in history. Not just in how people mention Christianity but in how we keep history. For all of recorded history, time has been divided between B.C and A.D. - Before Christ and After Death. Have you noticed that this has been changed to B. C. E. Or what is now being called - Before Common Era...

One of the greatest things in life is being married. That should come as no surprise when we realize that one of the first things that God created was marriage and family. One of the greatest miracles is the world is that two unique people are able to spend a lifetime together. Over close to four decades of marriage, I am convinced that having a great marriage is not all that complicated. We love...

Discernment. This is a powerful word. It changes the way a Chrisitan see life and deals with things. All sorts of things. It is one thing to be able to observe what is on the surface, and it is quite another to be able to see things as they truly are under the surface. True discernment is not anything mystical. It is Spiritual Insight that is born from Wisdom and comes with an understanding of God...

The is nothing like being used powerfully by God. Nothing! Ministering in the Anointing (the empowering) of the Holy Spirit is one of the great joys of being a Christian. The anointing is never to be taken for granted. There are many who desire to walk in the fulness of all that God has for their lives. One of the things that is not often discussed is the cost of the anointing. It is not cheap. As...

Today's podcast is going to help clarify some things for some people and bring relief. For some this is going to mess with you a little bit. All too often we hear that doubt is the opposite of faith. That just is not true. Doubt is the opposite of certainty unbelief is the opposite of faith. Now doubt can get us to unbelief, but doubt is something that is common to everyone. Even Christians. D...

Better. That's a powerful word. Better is a healing word. It is an encouraging word. BETTER! I have kissed my children and grandchildren when they were younger and hurt themselves and said... "there, all better". What they needed was love, tenderness and assurance. It is amazing how quickly some hurts heal with just a little compassion. As we get older, we realize that some things do...

There is something diabolical going on in the Church and society as a whole. It is a movement to separate the old and the young. There is a desire among some that is becoming fashionable. The desire to move the older generations out of the way and to replace them with younger people. When King Solomon died that was the prevailing desire. Instead of heading the wisdom of the older men. Solomons son...

Vulnerability. For some the word holds a valuable place in their life. For others this word is difficult to read and even more difficult to put into practice. Thank God for the examples that we are able to glean from the people in the word of God. People like Elijah. We read His story and we see this mighty man of God who does incredible things for the Kingdom. Yet in the Book of James, we are tol...

While the opposite of peace is fear, the opposite of calm is chaos. Chaos is the lack of orderliness and calm. In the midst of chaos, it is hard to think correctly, respond intelligently and make thoughtful decisions. Chaos is destabilizing and many times traumatizing. The Bible says that God is not the author of confusion. What we see happening in our society and many times in our own lives is a...

There are stories in the Bible that are inspiring, challenging and jaw dropping. The Story of Phinehas and his response to compromise and the damage that it was doing to people is one of those stories. It doesn't take long to look at our churches and people who are a part of the family of God and see that compromise is very prevalent. God is not only dealing very clearly with the sin in our na...

We all love the victory of the walls coming down in Jericho. What preceded the victory was obedience. Simple, quiet obedience. Nothing fancy. Nothing spectacular. Just simply walking out what God said to do. That's it. quiet, faithful plodding. Day in and day out faithfulness. God brought about a miracle through ordinary obedience. The same is true for us. Great victories come on the heels of...

All of us deal with anger from time to time. Right now, in society anger, rage and being incensed is at an all-time high. It some circles it is even in fashion. Something is always setting people off. It is ok to be angry at times, but it is not supposed to be our default setting. The Bible says that in our anger we are not to sin. So, anger in itself is not sinful. It becomes sinful when we allow...

One of life's hardest lessons to learn and accept is that life is unfair. We have all seen things happen to people who certainly didn't deserve what went on in their lives. I am sure that many of us have had things go on that were not fair in the least. Things people did or said, the way some things sorted themselves out can seem like the cards are not in our favor. I came across a quote t...

As Christians we are all familiar with the words Salvation and Saved. What does it mean to truly be saved? The Greek word for Saved is Sozo. It carries the same idea as the Hebrew word for Peace or Shalom. Saved means to deliver and to rescue but it also carries the idea of being healed and made whole and complete. God forgives sin but He also heals our brokenness and restores what has been shatte...

Serving God is an honorable and exciting life. Let's set the record straight, it is not an easy life. If you don't believe me just look at the life of Paul, Moses or for that matter, Jesus. There is a saying - "Give God your YES". Of course, obedience to God is at the heart of all that we believe. Many say yes to God with little understanding of the cost. Many approach their &quo...

Vanity, in one way or another our society is driven by this. Social media posts, clicks, likes, follows, hearts. If we are not careful, we can all become vain. I would submit that this is a huge struggle for many of us. You would think that once you leave middle school our need for attention and affirmation from others would fade. In many ways this increases. In a world that demands us to be &quot...

There is a saying that says - "A stronghold is not a demon sitting on your shoulder; it is a lie sitting in your logic." Strongholds were originally built as a place of safety. They were a strongly built fortress or a castle where people would be free from the dangers of an advancing enemy. A stronghold was a position of strength, an impenetrable place where people could recover and defe...

We know that Rain is often a symbol of the work of the Holy Spirit. We equate the Rain of the Holy Spirit with Revival. We call it the outpouring of God. The prophet Joel prophesied that God would pour out His Spirit on all people and he showed us what it would look like. I believe we will see an incredible outpouring of the in our days. I believe that it has already begun. The Lord gave me a prop...

Worry is a five-letter word that impacts all of our lives. All of us deal with worry on some level or another. Some of us deal with it in one area of our live and some of us have made worry a way of life. People love to make slogans that create a great sound bite, but I think do more harm than good. "Be a winner not a worrier, why worry when you can worship, be a warrior not a worrier"....

Believe is a powerful word and tied to everything that we do, say and live. This podcast will get you thinking. This will challenge and encourage you!

One of the greatest discoveries that a Christian can have is that we are sheep. That's what Jesus calls us. We are the sheep of HIS pasture. Not cattle. Not horses not oxen or donkeys. What sets sheep apart from all of those other animals? They were designed to carry heavy loads. Sheep were not designed that way. Those are all burden bearing beasts. They can shoulder the extra weight. No one u...

We have all met people that are crusty because they have a mean and sarcastic attitude. Then there are people that are crusty because they have been reduced to acting on their baser impulses and urges instead of rising above them. There are things in life that absolutely no one is immune from. Sexual temptation is one of them. There are people that are more prone to sexual temptation than others d...

We all know the scripture that says - "Nothing is impossible with God". Do you and I really believe that? We serve a God of the impossible the improbable and the supernatural. He is Almighty God! As a matter of fact, that is one of His names. God Almighty. This means that for US - With God - nothing will be impossible as well. Yet, we often live our life as if we are limited in our optio...
