Turning Toward God in Crises
For several days, we’ve talked about the economic storm that is coming to hit this country (and most of the world). We’ve covered some of the effects that this will have on the world and on the Body of Christ. The last thing we’ll talk about in this series is the effect it will have […]
The Praise of Daniel
A Storm is Coming that is far worse than anyone understands. Yesterday, we spoke about how you as a follower of Christ should prepare. Today, we’re going to briefly look at the Praise that Daniel gave when God gave him the dream which brought him favor with the king. If you’d like to know more […]
How Do We Handle This Coming Economic Storm?
We’ve spent the last couple days talking about the removing of God’s royal authority from the United States and what this will mean for the Body of Christ. These are spiritual things, if you’d like a more concrete economic understanding of what’s going on and what’s about to happen – you can read the Coming […]
Law and Order, Discipline and Freedom
All realities are governed by set rules or laws and a lower reality subject to a higher reality. It takes something supernatural to enable a lower entity to enter into and enjoy the power and privilege of a higher reality. Because of the mystical nature of the spiritual reality and because of the unhealthy, evil […]
Self-Discipline and Discipline within God’s Family
The Lord entrusts His discipline of us to three different parties: The Holy Spirit Before He went to the cross, Jesus told his disciples that it’s for their benefit that He should go. He told them that another would be sent on His behalf to teach them. John 14:25-26 [NIV] 25″All this I have spoken […]
Spiritual Fruits
In our last series, we mentioned spiritual growth and maturity as the process and end of the spiritual life God gives to us. Just like a tree, it takes time for spiritual growth to develop from being merely a seed into a full grown tree and bear fruit. But to a farmer, the most pleasant […]
The Reconciliation of Man and the Restitution of All Things
We will only briefly touch this massive topic. Hopefully after reading the recent posts about what Man suffered due to the consequences of the Fall, you see how much Christ has restored back to you through His death, burial, resurrection and ascension. You are more than being reconciled back to God. He enables you to […]
The Fall
God gave Man everything, but we chose to live this life without His guidance. This has led us to misery, pain, and death. God desires that we be His children, that we grow into His Likeness, in perfect fellowship and community, governing His creations on earth. After choosing our own way, natural Man is now […]
Mission Trip Israel – What I Learned
From this experience, I really had to learn to rest and trust in God. I could do nothing – and everything was in His hands. That is always the case in life, but too often I allow myself to think that I am the master of my own life, when in reality, it can all […]
Mission Trip – Day 3, cont’d: May 19, 2007
So many amazing things happened on that third day in Israel, but one that is both funny and at the same time fills me with wonder, is one that involves my then girlfriend, now bride, Kara. Mike invited a whole group from the largest congregation in Tel Aviv to join so that everyone could pray […]
