Living Under Law and Grace The memory is seared in my mind. Maybe because of its frequency. Maybe because of its life impact. Whatever and however, I can see every detail. I can hear her voice. I can see the action that brought me terror. It was the same thing every Sunday. Upon entering myContinue reading “The Terror of Sunday Afternoon”

Current Events and Prophecy
This morning, we woke to an intense battle raging. It is a battle for freedom. It is a battle that will determine the direction of our world for years to come. It is not just another moment in history, but a pivotal moment with far-reaching consequences. There is no escaping its connection to prophetic worldContinue reading “Current Events and Prophecy”
Redefined
As I prepared to write this blog this morning, I heard a song by Tosha Cobbs that I’d never heard before. It is from her Royalty tour. Written by Travis Greene, the lyrics state, “I am royalty. I am who You called me. I believe I am Yours. Oh, yes, I am.” The United StatesContinue reading “Redefined”

It’s a truth that has resonated with every generation of believers, and it’s a truth that we must not forget. TheContinue reading “Hope for Fear”
A Happy Little Ditty from Hell
Fear is real! Fear is rational. Fear is irrational. Fear causes pain. Fear causes anxiety. Fear is a part of life. It can raise its head without warning…one phone call…one conversation…one moment can shift us from a place of peace to a place of fear.

I suppose, at some level, I was in a season of depression. One might wonder what brought on suchContinue reading “When Dreams Die”
Doors
I love doors. I know that’s an odd thing to like. I find the craftsmanship and variety beautiful. Doors also represent hope…something new and exciting on the other side. They may also represent something familiar and inviting. Think of a Christmas wreath hanging on your loved one’s front door. You know that there are amazingContinue reading “Doors”
Control
Its hands tightly gripped my neck. There was no place to go. I saw no way out. The room was dark except for a lightbulb blinking on the far side. I could not tell if I was above or below ground. All I knew was fear—fear of how this would end, fear of what IContinue reading “Control”
Donkey Party!
Have you ever been to a donkey party? Most likely, you have, though you may not know it. Donkey Parties were invented in 1887 by Philadelphia resident Charles Zimmerling.

There may be cycles of sin, desperation, anger, frustration, or addiction. Potential cycles are as numerous as the stars in the heavens. King Saul’s life was marked byContinue reading “Live A Life”
