I was walking through our city today, observing the city vibe, watching the people, praying for the city and asking the Lord, “Is anyone hungry and thirsty for the Lord?” I met Howard today who came here in the 60s. He loves this town, but is worried it has lost its soul. I heard about […]

Are We Feeling Dependent on God?

(2 Chronicles 34-35; 2 Kings 22-23) The underlying feeling today is never to be dependent on anyone. This is at the root of the American story and dream and western independence. However, Jesus says just the opposite – deny yourself and completely depend on Him. Why is it important to feel dependent on God? What […]

( 2 Kings 18-20; 2 Chronicles 29-32) Are we in spiritual and political uncertain times today? When there is spiritual syncretism (a blending of false spirituality with God’s commands)  there is political unrest.

Do you know the difference between seeking the American dream and seeking the Kingdom of God? Read Matthew 6:25-33, oh how we have raised the standard of living thinking that that will satisfy, but when our attention is on our standard of living and not the Kingdom of God anxiety and worry increase. Are we […]

Are We Fighting for Faith?

(1 Kings 15:9-24: 2 Chronicles 14-16) If we are not fighting for faith we are drifting and drifting leads to numbness and eventual hardening. We have adopted a very mushing view of faith, and have adopted psychological views of it rather than seen it for what it is a gift from God to be nurtured […]

Open up with 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 The importance of nurturing and maintaining a “sincere and pure devotion to Christ” Is there another Jesus being proclaimed today? Are people receiving a different spirit today? Are people accepting a different Gospel today? What we need restored is a sincere and pure devotion to Jesus! Read 1 Kings […]

How do you make decisions? This is a really important question. One that young folks should regularly be asking older folks. Anyone ever make a bad decision? And wished you would have processed better before making the decision? Anyone ever make a decision that you thought was a really good decision because you processed well, […]

First, what is your standard of living? Do you have a standard, what or who do you look to for that? How are we defining our standard of living and who is defining it for us? Is the world or the Lord defining your standard of living? This is not just socio-economic issues, but more […]

Welcome to those who are just checking things out, not sure about Jesus yet – I ask you to really think about what reality you are aligning your soul to? Either this world and all of its uncertainty or to Jesus and the resurrection of life, with the promise of eternal life. Remind them why […]

Use this quote to give big picture and that there is nothing new under the sun, but will we learn from the lessons of the Kings as a people, church and as a nation? Nothing truly changes until the heart changes. “Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when […]
