Valentine’s Day Hypocrite
Christmas aside, I believe we’re coming up on the most hypocritical day of the year. Valentine’s Day. A day when billions of dollars are spent on flowers, cards, candy, nice restaurants, movies, champagne, hotel rooms, etc… All just to say “I love you”, and, “You’re very special to me.” Am I advocating that everyone just…

Love is more than a four letter word.
Someone said to me the other day, “Love is the most overused word in the world.” I started thinking about it, and had to agree she is right. Sure, we all use the word “love”. We love pizza, popcorn, and pretzels. We love the Bears (well, some of us do), baseball, and baked goods. We…

Longtime Friends
Have you ever considered the value of friendship? I’m not referring to Facebook friends, or people who are merely an acquaintance. No, I’m talking about people who will walk with you through thick and thin, good times and bad times, whether you have a lot or little. Friends. My wife and I are so blessed.…

God Gave Them Up?
May I ask you a question or two? They’re kind of personal. In the bible passage below, what kind of God do you see? And is this what is known as “hate speech?” A hateful God? A loving God? “Let’s burn ’em in hell” God, or “What else can I do?” God? You decide. “For…

Once inside your car, you back out of the garage, press the garage door closer, and head for the freeway. All of a sudden, something strikes you as odd; actually, eerie. You haven’t seen…

Sexual Sin
Sexual sin isn’t a new thing or an isolated incident that happens just now and then. It isn’t only a teen problem or an adult sin. It doesn’t automatically occur with one gender more than the other. Sin? What’s that? Sin is an offense against God, His statutes and laws. In short, it’s doing the…

What Does God Hate?
God is love, but He still hates! What does God hate? Does He hate tattoos, or Christmas trees, or little fat Santas? Is He a hater of republicans, democrats, or both? Does He hate the United States of America, as some “prophets” have proclaimed? Just who, or what, does God hate? Maybe God hates Starbucks…

What Do We Really Expect?
Why do we, as Jesus followers, act so surprised, and even mad, when the world doesn’t treat us like their own? What do we really expect? What do we really want? Have we forgotten something Jesus said? “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one…

Citywide Revival
It’s Time! Time to believe God for citywide revival. My city, your city, any and every city. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” Below are some things the Lord showed me about initiating and sustaining a citywide revival. Understand, when I mention “revival” I’m not referring to…
