Considerable discussion is arising about judgment. Why this is a controversial subject escapes me. It would seem about as straightforward as grace…oh, wait, that is controversial as well! One of the reasons we get caught up in these discussions: the desire to make our systematic thinking walk on all fours, to reach a universal application […]

Dr Don: Jesus says, “I will put My ekklesia together. Hell’s positioned authorities will not be able to withstand that expansion.” The term He uses means “called together into assembly.” The King of the kingdom calls together His assembled citizens to function in kingdom authority. The church isn’t called out the world but assembled from within […]

Understanding remnant thinking begins with God’s definition of the term, His strategic purpose. Don’t apply the meaning of modern culture to the word “remnant” to discover God’s strategy. [Remnants are never leftovers even if they were “left in the land” after everyone was taken into captivity: these remnants had purpose but were overwhelmed with sorrow […]

The long history of worship-place leaders and workplace leaders functioning from polar opposites moved toward restoration during the past three decades. The long-standing struggle changed, wrestling moves and holds were broken as new ones were set in place, so the struggle changed significantly but continued at arm’s length. The tension has no expiration date because the fundamentals […]

Testing leaders mirrors God’s strategy for advancing leaders. God tests leaders. Leaders test leaders the leaders they father. Discipling tests measure progress in ways appearances cannot. Paul certainly engaged in this practice with his emerging leaders, learning from Jesus the practice of testing disciples on their leadership maturity. First, set a baseline of behavior and […]

When we read the story of Jesus and His disciples, we observe personal passion in conflict with Divine purpose. Jesus calls the disciples to join in His assignment, but they continue to measure their involvement in His assignment in terms of “what’s in it for me?” This is the Judas spirit in action, a spiritual condition […]

God designed Creation with generations as a fundamental aspect of history. Purpose is established in all that exists by Creation, and the generations are designed to allow the movement of Divine purpose through history. To understand the ancient meaning of the word, “generations,” we begin with the pictorial expressions of the letters. The first letter […]

In answer to the question – “How does God choose leaders?” – we might review revelation fundamentals about God and how He does stuff. Our Biblical worldview should include the presuppositions of Creation, Redemption, and Restoration; for outside the context of Bible revelation, we usually fail to filter out humanism, animism, and occultism, creeping confusions […]

Honor Releases Anointing Honoring the one sent releases what God sent through the one He sent. This sense of sending and releasing is fundamental to kingdom dynamics. Honor releases anointing when releases calling which releases created destiny. Everything in the kingdom functions SpiritFirst, and anointing is spiritual power and authority. God targets kingdom people with […]

The kingdom is filled with both inequality and equality. In some ways, all citizens share equally. In others distinctions and destinies are unequal, by human standards of measurement. The kingdom functions in abundance, so having equal shares so no one has “too much” or “has some of mine” is foreign to kingdom culture. Peter says, for […]
