Job’s experiences reveal that the devil has to go through God to get to us, and that most of what hell would like to do is off-limits. The interplay of our lives with satan has a “load limit” sign on it. When satan does entice, God provides an escape so we can bear the strain […]

Asia Minor Awakening According to Luke’s records of the Ephesus-Asian Minor Awakening in Acts 19 and credible sources from history, the city of Ephesus went from being the center of queen of heaven worship for both Greek and Roman cultures to the center of Christianity. The transformation took about forty years. Paul came into the […]

At some point in fathering relationships, the father will wonder if he is wasting his time and the spiritual child will wonder if he will ever be “released.” Every relationship we have in life is tested by surprises: sometimes both people are surprised, as each of them is surprised by their own behaviors and feelings.

Jacob arrives at Jabbok to face the source of his fear and guilt. Jacob has a prophetic promise to be the inheritor of Abraham’s covenant with God. He has the right to the covenant with God, but he will be prepared as an inheritor at Jabbok. Jabbok means “emptying out.” It is a brook that […]

The function of the ecclesia is governmental and kingdom cultural, establishing and expanding kingdom authority and culture. In this mode it is […]

Let me say up front that any government healthcare regulation or policy that restricts the free exercise of religious belief is blatantly and treasonably unconstitutional. Simple as that. ‘Nuff said. Careful consideration of the present dialogue about access to “birth control” and forcing religious institutions to pay for it, provide it, and support it, by […]

Our trust in God must be complete for us to experience completeness. A pathway of progressive perplexity pushes us toward profounder surrender. Expanded revelation opens our lives to more mystery; the more we learn, the more we realize we don’t much. The more answers we receive, the more questions we have because we have enough […]

Jesus said little-sized faith could move mountains into the sea. He said that little-sized faith should speak to that mountain and tell that mountain what to do and the mountain would obey the command of little-sized faith. The “mountain” would present impossibilities. The little-sized faith would represent obedience to assignment, moving forward with a tenacity […]
