The Pew Center did a massive survey in May 2015, generating many statistics, in general concluding that evangelical churches were growing while others were declining. Also, within Evangelical churches “non-denominational” churches were growing significantly. American society as represented in the media is in decline morally and spiritually, aided by liberal judges in the Supreme Court… Continue reading The Church in America Today and Tomorrow

I have been involved in a lot of church work my whole life, but I consider Yeshua to be everything and the hidden life in Him. I was part of the Jesus movement revival of the early 1970's and I have a heart for Israel.
A Word of Encouragement
You can have greater faith now. Hear, think, remember, read, meditate, pray, seek, ask, inquire about Messiah Yeshua, and as you do listen, faith will rise. Everywhere God is blessing His people, even those who are just turning to Him, those who are weighed down by the cares of this world, the brokenhearted, those in… Continue reading A Word of Encouragement
Feelings vs Mental Assent
These are two aspects of faith and they offer much to debate and divide those who favor a particular view. In revival we see each in operation, but mental assent is much more difficult to observe than the emotions and associated feelings which flood out in all sorts of expression. Is a particular revival event… Continue reading Feelings vs Mental Assent
God’s Timing
Everything of God is perfect, so when we look at His timing it is amazing. In His timing He can be severe, as well as gracious. When Abraham was asked to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice, immediately after God stopped Abraham, he supplied a ram that was caught in a thicket for… Continue reading God’s Timing

How is the distinction made - even when it is acknowledged to be wholly critical? Here is a list (in no particular order) based on scripture and illustrated… Continue reading Recognizing the Holy Spirit

As the event neared its conclusion, a weaker participant faltered and fell. Falling to the field he was broken and defeated. The crowd was silent and seated bearing with… Continue reading A Vision in Worship on Easter Sunday
Fear God and Live
What truth we know is from God; some directly via written form and other via individual revelation. Other information, mostly erroneous or out right untruths abound from suggestions of the enemy and imaginations of men. Truth is not time sensitive as current thinking claims and asserts, based on changes in fashion and various so-called technologies… Continue reading Fear God and Live
One Child’s Glimpse of the Kingdom
Unless you become as a child you will never enter into the Kingdom of God - Matthew 18:3 My first memories are when I was four or five. I have considerable access to photographs and some of these early one's may have influenced what I actually remember. I believe this was minimal although this is… Continue reading One Child’s Glimpse of the Kingdom
Hudson Taylor
I had heard of Hudson Taylor, British Missionary to China, many times over the years, but never read the book for myself. I can easily recommend it to you and say this was the best biography I have ever read. There were numerous books on His life and works; the one I chose was… Continue reading Hudson Taylor
