The Fruit of Muhammed
The world has been experiencing the fruit of Muhammed for more than 1400 years. And it’s amazing to me that people are confused as to the nature of his religion. It’s common knowledge, if you want to know what the root of something is, look at its fruit. Fruit reveals the root. Approximately 600 years…

Loose in the Church
Years ago, while attending a Full Gospel Business Men’s luncheon, I was asked about the church I pastored. “I’m an Assemblies of God pastor”, I replied. “We attend a WORD church”, they informed me. That phrase has stuck with me for over twenty five years. Back then, some sectors of the Body of Christ acted…

How Big Is The Game?
I’ve mentioned this before. More than once. I really like football. Especially the National Football League. Just like a lot of folks throughout the nation. But is that a good thing? Lately, I’ve been going through a period of introspection; asking myself why I do or don’t do certain things. Why is entertainment so important…

Love At A Public School
The heart of my Father was experienced today. The deep, deep, love of Jesus. And you know what? It’s Monday. Church on Monday? No. I wasn’t in church. I was at a public school. Yes, I said PUBLIC school. So how does one experience God’s heart of love at a public school? I don’t know.…

Opportunities
Opportunities. Let’s talk about opportunities. Opportunities God may give; and opportunities we may miss. You’ve heard the phrase, “A window of opportunity”? How many times? Probably a lot of times. And have you heard the scripture, “Windows of Heaven”? Yes? But have you ever considered the window of opportunity, and the window of heaven, could…

Did you know that the Lord, many times, allows wrong doers the opportunity to choose their own punishment? Their own fate? It’s true. People have had a choice of punishment. Here’s an example with King David: “But after he had taken the census, David’s conscience began to bother him. And he said to the Lord…

John Fox and Da Bears
I’m a huge Chicago Bears fan. While I understand there’s only one Savior, Jesus Christ, still I’m excited about the possibilities afforded my team with the hiring of a new head coach. Especially THIS head coach. True, historically the Bears haven’t responded all that favorably the first season after a coaching change. But outside of…

Drastic Measures
Gaining freedom from pornography can be an instantaneous event, as the power of God drives out the lustful spirits, and the love of Jesus brings forgiveness and grace to the individual. However, maintaining freedom isn’t an event; it is a process. A process which involves God’s grace, accountability, and drastic measures at times. Drastic measures?…

Sports Fans
Sports fans are so loyal. I should know. I’ve been a Chicago Bears fan for 30 years. Please. I’m alright. You see, I have hope. Interesting thing about fans: they weather bad season after losing season. “Next season!”, is their annual mantra. The Chicago Bears’ record over the last 30 years is 264-216. That’s a…

Do Not Neglect The Gift
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. (1 Timothy 4:14 NKJV) Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. (2 Timothy 1:6…
