I read a well-respected Minister's analysis of prophecy from many different streams of the Church regarding this current international crisis and it's origins. He concluded there was not a clear convincing and accurate prophetic message, as yet. I concur, and recognize that many believers do not even believe God speaks in such ways and/or to… Continue reading Covid-19 Pandemic

God’s People
This is not an exclusive club, it is open to everyone who believes. If you do not believe, then you should not feel rejected or disgruntled by those who do believe. Moreover, we all are capable of having a change of heart. From time to time we hear of the benefits and blessings of being… Continue reading God’s People
Holy Spirit Impartation
"On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, 'Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.' By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in… Continue reading Holy Spirit Impartation
Acceptance
I made a small sign with a black marker and some white cardboard. I wrote in large bold letters "I ACCEPT", and put it on the wall. It was during college that I had a personal revival of sorts and was filled with the Holy Spirit. This term, "filled" is from decades of perspective and… Continue reading Acceptance

His Christian world view of love, charity, and justice impacted his life and Presidency. He was a Southern child during the end of the Civil… Continue reading Woodrow Wilson
Freedom From Religion
This organization has gone to court to remove a memorial to World War I veterans; they have sued to remove the national motto, "In God We Trust" from everything; and brought suits to prohibit the free exercise of religion which is protected in the constitution. They claim the exhibition of a cross is offensive and… Continue reading Freedom From Religion

A Theory For Atheists
If you are a devoted atheist you will need some "Science" to support anything you believe, or at least a theory that has not been fully discredited. This is the status of science today, as so much of what is called fact can not be established through the scientific method here and now. Therefore, theories… Continue reading A Theory For Atheists
The Smartest One in the Room
The person who thinks this about themselves treads upon a slippery narrow ledge that is crumbling beneath their feet. I knew a man who was surrounded by his chosen advisors. One advisor was extremely loyal, but to a fault, so that when he might have prevented wrong, he was unable to contradict his leader. One… Continue reading The Smartest One in the Room
Prayer Note
I kept thinking about my friend and brother in the Lord while I went about my business. When I ran an errand, when I helped the neighbor, and as I was cutting firewood; so I decided to call and find out what was happening with my friend. As soon as I asked, he described the… Continue reading Prayer Note
Media Bias
It is indisputable that there is a fascist/socialist bias in the major media entities. Formerly, liberal was a term used to describe this bias, but in recent years they have abandoned liberal thought for fascist socialism. These same entities like to assert they are the fourth branch of government. Proceeding the election of Donald Trump… Continue reading Media Bias
Shelby Bottoms Greenway
This is a bike trail in Nashville, Tennessee. We were there recently and parked at Two Rivers park across from the Grand Ole Opry house and Opry Mills shopping center.

Trial By Accusation
The enemies of America and freedom, truth, and justice have determined that the means they have chosen are justified, though they are filled with misrepresentation, distortion and flat out lies. These smear campaigns conducted in and by the media scare the timid into withdrawal and often destroy the good name of those who choose to… Continue reading Trial By Accusation
Attempted History Revision
It was immediately after an NFL playoff game, the numerous cameras were scouring the crowd of players, media reporters, officials and staff who poured over the field. I can imagine the camera director barking orders to cut from camera to camera. "Zoom in on Belichick's face," capture that anger. "Ok, the Head Coaches are meeting,… Continue reading Attempted History Revision
Political Pollution
Political pollution is spreading all around our society, no longer contained in election cycles. It has seeped into sports and now the weather reports are getting littered with political crud. What can we do about this uncontained refuse that spoils all it touches. It is like an oily substance covering areas and choking out life.… Continue reading Political Pollution
Word Power
Saul was zealous for God and considered persecuting followers of Yeshua God's work. Yeshua met him on his journey and said, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9: 4). Paul might have answered, "As a service to God, I'm persecuting the followers of Yeshua, whom I consider to be in opposition to the… Continue reading Word Power

On Thursday, September 26, 2019 the 700 Club TV show aired an account of a woman who had an abortion when she was in her early twenties. The doctor told her an abortion was possible, but it would by very painful as she would have to deliver the baby. Afterwards the memory was painful and… Continue reading Spiritual Testimony
Spiritual Sight
Yeshua gave all He had in pursuit of God's will. This includes in His conversation with the woman at the well and as He traveled around Israel, healing, delivering, teaching, prophecying, confronting a few, being rejected by many, loving completely in every circumstance. He kept nothing for Himself and abandoned completely every aspect of His… Continue reading Spiritual Sight

Think of all the years of your life, the months and weeks that measure your growth physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Then scan the range of your memories from childhood till now, the events that have made you who you are, your education, relationships, vacations, holidays, achievements, your greatest triumps and the agony of your defeats,… Continue reading In the Depths of Your Heart
Church Growth
This is a topic of keen interest to church leaders. Church growth is seen by some as an indication of God's favor, doing church right, and/or that the preacher is effective. Various leaders offer advice and books at conferences promoting church growth. I've seen Christian businessmen propose various organizational strategies intended to facilitate church growth.… Continue reading Church Growth
Is This Between Me and God?
In certain of life's situations we may ask this question? It is likely a good question to ask, even before we become desparate or disappointed? During Gideon's days Israel was under extreme oppression from rival nations. An angel appeared to Gideon saying, " 'Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian's… Continue reading Is This Between Me and God?
Heaven’s Superstars
I've watched many people in the music industry and it is interesting to see how some went on to great commercial success, while others remain largely unknown, even though they had more natural talent and ability. I've heard it said about actors as well, that commercial success depends more on a chance meeting or fortunate… Continue reading Heaven’s Superstars
