A Shunning Spirit is so damaging... to the soul

Soon after my wife and I purchased our first home, I tilled the entire backyard. It was a pretty good size. “You tilled the ENTIRE backyard,” my wife asked. “Well, yeah,” I said, “Now I won’t have to mow it.” “But you’ll have to weed it,” she quipped right back.

When I was really young my dad had kept a garden, mostly to keep the grocery

This Fourth of July, America commemorates its “Supercentennial” anniversary—marking 250 years of being one nation under God. Throughout Scripture, the Lord often instructs His people to remember His acts of salvation, faithfulness, and provision (see Deuteronomy 4:9; Psalm 77:11). As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, I believe it is only fitting for us to reflect on the blessings of America’s legacy and the sacrifices that made those blessings possible. Two and a half ce

Because I spent most of my life traveling all over the country as I did ministry, I have had coffee in a lot of different places. I love a fresh, hot, robust flavored cup of coffee with cream and a tiny bit of sweetener in it. Most of all, it absolutely has to be fresh.

A Time for New Beginnings At this time of year, I sense not only new beginnings... I feel so enriched that my Savior lives. Yet, I can’t help but feel a profound loss for those who are lost. I've looked forward to this Easter with a fresh fire for Jesus and a hope for incoming souls. I long for them to be trained to ignite the world they live in. From the start of my ministry 38 years ago to this very moment, seeing one soul accept Jesus is worth it all. Interceding for Souls

Here is a bit of understanding why the Church is in a place of chaos, a situation that many observers and participants alike have noted with concern. The complexities surrounding this turmoil are multifaceted and deeply rooted in both spiritual and practical dimensions. The Church is not run as a democracy; it is run as a Monarchy with Jesus as our King. This fundamental truth shapes the very foundation of our faith and governance within the Church. Unlike democratic institut
