I just wanted to send an open letter from an open heart… Dear one, I saw you today and you saw me. I had just begun to raise my hand and greet you with a sincere smile and my heart-felt delight at seeing you again when you turned your head to avoid me and hurriedly […]

The spirit of the world is a root issue. This spirit is the Father’s enemy. This spirit seeks to move passion away from the Father toward the world. The spirit of this world manifests in an international system, but the spirit of the world is individualized in a very personal way through the demanding desires […]

Review this word. We are entering into its last phase as we turn this year. Then, we will receive “fresh orders.” This word is being pressed into me and leaving an impression upon my spirit. As an emblem pressed into warm wax, each day the word presses a bit deeper, leaving a more clearly defined […]

During the westward march of American settlers expanding the nation toward the mountains, questing pioneers encountered the vast expanse of open plains that became America’s “bread basket.” The terrain was terrifying to many people who turned around and rushed back to the eastern cities or simply stopped east of the Mississippi River, intimidated by the […]

The human condition includes the human contradiction and contrition. We are flawed! No amount of effort, education, or etiquette can fully remove all our flaws. The flaws are fundamentally spiritual and require a fundamentally spiritual solution. We may have physical flaws. These can be categorized in a nearly infinite manner.

Prophets have their unique spiritual, kingdom function and position, and the term “internalize” has unique application according to the discipline in which it is used. There are very few sources of discussion […]

“He will teach you” is the most basic revelatory experience: being in the School of the Spirit. No matter how mature or infantile the believer, each of us is enrolled in this revelatory experience. God is actively, personally, and intimately involved in our lives! The process of receiving a renewed mind and implementing His guidance […]

Musing about this election remain difficult merely because of the overwhelming amount of information thrown at us. Cutting out the nearly obvious lies is not so hard. Pruning off the repeated perception-building propaganda is a bit more difficult. Narrowing focus upon probable criteria a major challenge. Add to that the startling reality of what actually […]

Our President made some off-the-cuff remarks that have become the entree of the day for political analysis. Part of the game, of course, but still a telling remark in the context of our American condition. The remarks, when taken as a starting point for dialogue, can open up our understanding of the deeper assumptions he […]
