I've been in many prayer groups, most were great. We had a small one at work that did exploits in the Spirit among people, organizations, crossing boundaries. The one most unusual was with a group of women, who allowed me to join them, (I had secured my wife's concurrence and she knew them all). This… Continue reading Prayer Group
Human Wisdom
If I could offer you nothing but human wisdom I would be deceiving you that I was something other than a weak flawed human just like you. However, if I knew the perfect God-Man who was the door to life evermore and the only healer, restorer and savior; I could tell you all He has… Continue reading Human Wisdom
Our New Name
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” Revelation… Continue reading Our New Name
The Believer’s Victory Story
I've heard many people say it and I have experienced myself - When God chooses to do something He often involves people, although our part is always very small. The Bible bears this out with Moses, and many others. Moses said what God told him to say, but God did all of the delivering. We… Continue reading The Believer’s Victory Story
The Fingerprint of God
If this being is omnipotent, then every occurrence, including every human action, every human thought, every human feeling and aspiration is also His work; how is it possible to think of holding men responsible for their deeds and thoughts before such an almighty Being? In giving out punishment and rewards he would to a certain… Continue reading The Fingerprint of God
Most People
Most people are environmentalists, they don't pollute the land, water or air, nor do they think others should. These same people are kind to animals and would never think of starving or abusing their pets, or even a stray. The vast majority of people have compassion for the poor and those who have lost their… Continue reading Most People
Yeshua’s Father
What of Yeshua's relationship with His Father. As with all things regarding Yeshua we can see a perfect relationship between Father and Son. As a young boy Yeshua talked of being in his Father's house. He sought out God's presence even as a young boy. He acknowledged that He alone really knew God, that all… Continue reading Yeshua’s Father
Trump Speaking Out
Many people, even those who support President Trump, are put off by his responses to those who falsely accused him. This is a departure from some past Presidents, particularly George W. Bush, who thought it was beneath the office and even prevented others from offering a defense. What I still consider one of the most… Continue reading Trump Speaking Out
The Highway of Holiness
“A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;… Continue reading The Highway of Holiness
Hope for the Downcast
"Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (1) Enter His gates with… Continue reading Hope for the Downcast
An Aberration Unexplained
Our communication methods, tools, means, and technology are evolving at an unprecedented rate. TV has been relegated to a dwindling source of news; Internet and other digital and video forums are growing as fast as the technology that enables it. Nevertheless, in this high-tech environment AM radio has produced an aberration that has impacted the entire… Continue reading An Aberration Unexplained
Our Plight on Earth
If you had only one set of clothes you might be better off than other men. If you had a complete set of underwear, you certainly would be greatly advantaged to those who are barely able to cover their nakedness, but your clothes would become dirty, tattered, and worn by constant use, so that in… Continue reading Our Plight on Earth
Promises to Israel – Their Land Will Blossom
“So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.' ” Ezekiel 36:35. God promised Israel that with the re-establishment of the nation, the desert land would bloom again. No longer would the desert be without vegetation,… Continue reading Promises to Israel – Their Land Will Blossom
Division
At the height of the cold war, school children regularly practiced getting under their desks at the sound of a loud siren, designating a nuclear attack from the USSR, our bitter enemy. The threat was real and tensions high. As a small child my hope was that the bomb would hit right on us, so… Continue reading Division
More Science Fiction
I have always enjoyed a good science fiction story, but to be good it must have a device to make it plausible. C.S. Lewis wrote a science fiction trilogy with the first book, "Out of the Silent Planet", published in 1938. It employed an anti-gravity coating on a space ship that enabled space travel to… Continue reading More Science Fiction
From One Racist to Another
For 18 years the New York Yankees have been playing Kate Smith’s version of “God Bless America” during the seventh inning stretch. They have recently banned the song due to her singing some purported racially insensitive songs 80 years ago. The hockey team, Philadelphia Flyers, have done the same and even covered a statute of… Continue reading From One Racist to Another
The Death of a Christian
“Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin.” Romans 6:6-7. “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but… Continue reading The Death of a Christian
Because of My Enemies
A novel idea comes forth like an answer unknown, unexpected, but shining as light, enabling vision. Sometimes amid the rambling questions and flitting fancies that occupy our mind a conversation forms. To some It may seem like arrogance to say, "I heard from God." Still, when it happens it's undeniable within the depths of your… Continue reading Because of My Enemies
Coming Influence of God
The desert and wilderness will break forth into blossom revealing the splendor and glory of God. Those with feeble knees and fearful heart hear, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you." Then will the eyes of the blind be… Continue reading Coming Influence of God
Promises to Israel – Their Irrevocable Call
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10… Continue reading Promises to Israel – Their Irrevocable Call
Alone in the Wilderness
This is the title of a documentary film about Dick Proenneke, a man who left civilization for the Alaskan wilderness. This movie is a quintessential male statement of challenge, endeavor and quest. The film was compiled from self-made films and the personal diary of one man's search for peace and freedom found in the… Continue reading Alone in the Wilderness
Judgment
I heard about a man who found a ticket for his shoe repair that he had lost almost ten years earlier. Considering he had nothing to lose, he went to the shoe repair shop and provided the ticket. The shoe repairman took it, went into the back and after some time returned. The man asked, […]
Public Forum and Free Speech
Are the electronic platforms of Twitter, Facebook, Google and Apple, public forums? Free speech is protected in the public forum, not in private locations. The public square, parks, and sidewalks are places of public fora. Yet, in our society public speaking is largely conducted via audio, video, and electronic means through television, radio and ever-expanding… Continue reading Public Forum and Free Speech
Protected Class
I was reading a Wikipedia biography of Pat Robertson that contained a section on Controversies and Criticisms, listing all manner of so-called controversial topics and criticisms, (are these criticisms of Robertson or subjects of his critique). The tone of this section is highly negative of Robertson, as it promotes a biased premise seated in political… Continue reading Protected Class

It was 1973, in the news the Vietnam war was ended by an agreement signed in Paris, war broke out against Israel and the Arab oil embargo began impacting fuel supplies in America. In the Spiritual realm, the Jesus Movement revival was growing with more and more hippies turning away from drugs and into Jesus.… Continue reading Contemporary Churches
