License Plates I went into open vision about 2015: I was holding old license plates, some rusted to the point at which reading the numbers became difficult. I was required to use strong, industrial strength sand paper to clear off dirt, rust, and distortion to the original paint in order to read the plates. I […]

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 […]

Leaders Harvest Purpose Matthew 9:36: “But when he saw the crowds, His inner man drew out a deep groan for them, because He saw they were grieved and distressed enough to pull out their hair, neglected as insignificant and without value as if they were sheep not having a shepherd.” Jesus’ discussions of “harvest” and […]

Jesus bestowed five aspects of His kingdom leadership strategy upon the Ecclesia at the time of His Ascension. These leadership dynamics were present in His own earthly ministry, and they remain His modus operandi right now.

This often sets up the […]

God is love. God is a consuming fire. His passionate love will burn up anything foreign to what He loves, […]

The parables Jesus uses to illustrate the days of ultimates for His generation teach us about endurance. The parables of Matthew 25 give His response to the destruction of Jerusalem He prophesies in Matthew 24. In way or another, we all see some parallels with other seasons of ultimates, generations that live through times when […]

Paul says, “Do not despise prophesying.” Why would he need to say such a thing? If prophesying is a spiritual capacity that all of us should seek, if prophesying reveals the secrets of men’s heart so they say, “God is among these people,” if prophesying is encouraging, edifying, and comforting, why would anyone ever despise […]

[The examples I use in this blog are not of people who live in my current home town or are part of my current ministry leadership. Of course, they may resemble some people that are, so I say this up front – they are not. The stories represent hundreds like them. I’m referring to patterns […]
