It seems like time is speeding up these days.  And today everything moves so fast that the day is over before you know it, and at the end of the day half of the stuff you meant to do is left for another day because there just wasn’t time to do it all.  Is it any wonder then why so many say “I’d really like to spend more time with the LORD, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done.” In my youth, there was always time to not only get all my work done, but have time to have fun, plus help a neighbor in need if necessary. The last time I checked, there were still 24 hours in a day, but it’s what we do with those 24 hours that makes a difference. Continue Reading »

If someone wanted to be a blessing to you, would you tell them to depart from you?  If so, then why?  That’s a subject well worth looking into.  I believe there’s more here than meets the eye with the casual look we usually offer.  In fact, it may be exactly why many of those seeking healing have not yet seen the manifestation of it.

The Holy Spirit is leading me back in the direction of healing today.  Many have told me they believe healing went out with the ministry of Jesus and the original disciples, and that’s why we don’t see a lot of healing miracles today. Well, before we come to that conclusion, let’s see what Jesus had to say about it. Continue Reading »

Today the 4th of July is Independence Day in the USA.  On this day we celebrate the day we became an independent nation.  The Founding Fathers of this Nation declared their independence from the King of England, not wanting to be any longer under the King’s rule.  That sort of thing has been going on for countless years, in that people want to be free to make their own choices and live as they choose.  We call it “freedom”.  But what is freedom, really?

Whether we realize it or not, every Christian is a preacher of the Gospel.  Preaching the Gospel is not only done by speaking.  Our actions speak much louder than words, and if the life you live before others is not in line with the Word of God, then obviously you are not preaching the same Gospel that Christ Jesus preached.

If you were being attacked, you would feel much safer if you had a fortress around you, right?  In days of old, people built massive fortresses to protect them and their loved ones.  Some were so large they could encompass an entire community within their walls, and woe to anyone who dared to breach those walls to harm them. But a fortress had one serious drawback: you had to stay there in order to enjoy its protection.  You see, it just wasn’t possible to pick it up and carry it with you, so you were pretty much stuck in there.  What we really need is a mobile fortress….

We often hear the phrase “Jesus is coming for His church”  But which church is He coming back for?  The one YOU belong to obviously, right? Well that depends if it is HIS church.  How exactly do we determine which church that will be?  Will He be coming for the people who attend the church with the highest steeple, or the biggest congregation? How about the group with the biggest coffee bar? Perhaps it will be the one with the most “prosperity”, whose members have as many jets as a hound dog has fleas? Continue Reading »

If God is who He says He is, then why do those who profess to be His children have fear in their lives?  Maybe you haven’t given that much thought lately, but you really need to, because once that question is settled in your life, EVERYTHING changes. Continue Reading »

Why is it that people delight in making even the simplest thing complicated?  Why, I believe if you gave engineers the task of making a square block, they could make a two thousand step operation out of it. And in doing so, there would be at least a thousand places where a defect could occur.  Let me give you a recent example. Continue Reading »

Worry and anxiety are subjects that I have over 40 years of experience with, so that makes me an expert of sorts, doesn’t it?  However, admittedly my experience is somewhat out of date, because when I came to the LORD in 1993, He invited me to cast my cares upon Him, so I did.  Simple, huh?  Don’t you wish everything was this easy?
