I will start this conversation, but I will leave it open for you to do your own research and draw your own conclusions. I held on to this revelation for a very good while, because I was unsure of the timing of releasing it. But as I continued to observe the world, in...

The Word of God really doesn’t mince words when it comes to our identity. The knowledge of who we are in God is beyond articulation…we are literally afraid to say it because it sounds bad, so we try to develop a “safe” language where we are...

There are things that need to be established for the body of Christ (church) to come into perfection (maturity) and unity. Be mindful that unity does not speak to everyone believing the same thing, but there must be unity in diversity. I believe a misconception and...

Please read with an open mind, and keen understanding, considering prayerfully the perspective from which I write. This is not an attack on the church but an evaluation of what it is; caution perhaps, and maybe identifying some measure of correcting that we need to...

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews...

I want to talk about you. Your identity in Christ. Who you are as a human being, especially as one who believes in Jesus Christ. Outside of Christ, you are still very special with great and unlimited potential, as you can see with all that humanity has accomplished to...

There is only one mention of the Lord’s Day in Scripture: “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.” (Revelation 1:10 – KJV). Note that John said he was “in the Spirit” which...

In the last few decades, great emphasis has been placed on finding one’s divine purpose and destiny. It is a search to answer the age-old questions, Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? There must be more to it than this? This has been my personal journey...

There is a lot to learn from being exposed to different levels of teaching and preaching. Some believe that we must speak at the level of our listeners so what we share do not fly over their heads. I used to believe this as well, until I heard a very famous preacher...

After over a decade of pursuing truth; seeking and searching and praying for direction, I have accumulated more knowledge that I can assimilate in one lifetime. I assume that much of what I know will carry over, unless I tap into immortality on this side of life...

Humanity, such strange beingsHaving a mind of their own, not easily swayedEach man under their own convictionUnable to be taught anything contraryLost in their limitationsDaring to declare they will not surrender Finitude for infinite knowledge I start to think we...

The Israelite Nation is a fascinating study in trying to answer the question: “Is God In Control?” We can begin where Moses was approached by God in the Burning Bush. It becomes known that all his years in Pharaoh’s house and in the backside of the dessert was...

This is a question I am sure many people are asking today, “Is God In Control?” I am not sure there is a clear-cut answer to this question. Many will argue equally that the answer is both no and yes, but I think presenting the argument to you and allowing you to draw...

And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:14 – NIV) I have found myself a little intolerant of being in certain Christian circles because of the hostility, criticism, dislike, intolerance, judgment and...

The world is changing. If as sons of God we are going to be successful in bringing order and realignment from all this chaos, there is a need for us to refocus. The reality is, there are more for us, than there are against us. We can’t know more about the enemy...

It was David who said: “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1 – KJV). I believe this secret place is in the holy of holies, and the holy of holies is within the believer in...

I have a genuine concern about the seemingly “silence” of God in our time and the confusion among those who claim to “hear” and continue to speak. Not that God is ever silent, but I use that term because we are seeking for specific answers, and none seem to be...

The danger with “religion” is that we try to encapsulate God in a particular doctrine and belief system, thereby restricting His true nature as God. God doesn’t change, as we understand change to be, but He is not restricted by our belief or doctrine either because He...

For many of us, church involvement is intricately tied to our relationship with God. If this is the case, there might not be a relationship at all. While it is good to be involved, our involvement in church should flow out of our relationship and not define it. This...

God gave man charge over the affairs and systems of the earth. Man was made to rule over all creation. It is our purpose for being on the earth. What happens when God’s children spend all their time just looking out for the first train out of this world? Why do we sit...
