Hear the Sound
I believe the Lord spoke the following to my spirit. I submit it to the Body of Christ; judge it for yourselves. If the Spirit bears witness with your spirit, then respond accordingly, as He instructs. “There’s a sound, not unlike the sound of a mighty, rushing wind, that God is releasing to His…

Hey Jude
Ever hear of the rock and roll group, the Beatles? Of course you have! As a teenager, and like millions of other teens, I listened to them every chance I got. And, like it or not, their music spoke directly to the heart of their generation, the culture of the day. Ever hear of a…

Sexy Christians
I am going to write some things I believe are from the Lord, but I don’t figure will make me too popular. There are so many verses in the New Testament dealing with the subject of sexual purity, yet the problem persists. Problem? What problem? Sexy Christians. Fornication. Cohabitation. Sex outside of marriage. Have…

Dreams and Visions – I Wonder
I’m going to wonder a little out loud, if that’s alright with you. Thanks. I wonder if there’s more to the “dreams and visions” passage than meets the eye? “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old…

Your Best Days?
In spite of what some of the most popular preachers and pseudo prophets are feeding us, things are NOT getting better. No, I’m not preaching gloom and doom. I’m simply agreeing with what the Apostle Paul wrote almost 2,000 years ago. “BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times…

Intentions and Actions
I heard something a long time ago that is probably appropriate for today’s world. Are you ready for this? We love to judge people by their actions, and yet demand they judge us by our intentions. “Here’s what I meant…” “Let me explain to you what I was thinking…” “I realize what it looked like,…

Power To The Faint
“Be strong, hang in there, you can make it, keep a stiff upper lip, hold it together…” Words spoken by well meaning people. But is that the best advice? Maybe. But not always. Many times it is the exact opposite of what we really need to do. “Oh, come on, man! Are you crazy?” Think…

Two Evils
Agree or disagree: there are many evils in the world. Agree? I do. To a point. Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about a passage of scripture that speaks of only two evils. Just two evils. However, those two evils are responsible for mankind’s plight. Two evils powerful enough to enslave mankind with addictions, abusive…

Should I…?
I sometimes wonder about this crazy, mixed up world. Specifically, how should I act as a follower of Jesus Christ? Should I be nice, smile a lot, and show God’s love with only my actions? I mean, we all know most people aren’t interested in church, religion, or Jesus, don’t we? I would rather…
