PASSIVITY IS THE GREATEST EVIL OF OUR TIME…. You may be wondering why I have suddenly become inflamed and vocal about the affairs of our government. First of all, I want to set the record straight, I’m not involved with politics—I simply love law and order (that is not politics). God has created law and […]

“Consent of the Governed”
This morning I awoke at 3:00A.M. (which is nearly normal) and had a phrase tucked neatly at the front of my mind. The phrase for consideration was the, “Consent of the governed….” For those of you in “the know” that is constitutional language from THE CONSTITUTION. Why it was tucked there at such an early […]
The Hill To Die On
Is it ever wrong to do what is right? Is it only good to do right when it is safe physically and “lawfully” (if justice is corrupt)? What do YOU do when you know what the right thing is but you will suffer for it? These questions should be rattling around in your thinking! If […]
Saying Nothing IS Saying Something; Doing Nothing Is Doing Something
My pen will never run out of ink because God’s sovereignty is never without a message. The message I deliver to you is a world view that involves your very life(.) Consider the following old poem/proverb (I do not know it’s origin): For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a […]
Living/Living Well
My thoughts have often driven me to peculiar and uncharted contemplation; the quiet moments of my study afford me much of the same…. The summary of what I hope to convey is how one really lives thru the observance of perpetual dying to self…. I sound very dark and grim but I assure you in […]
Worshipers: Giant Slayers In Disguise
This is a story that starts a fire in my bones every time! It will be the next sermon that I preach, and I pray the continual story of my life as well as for you. (The title betrays exactly what I am reaching for out of 1Samuel 17.) This story has more to be […]
Crucified Apathy
My apathetic heart is the one I want to gouge out; the apathetic eye, the hand, foot, etc. Why am I speaking this way? It is because it is my fight, my war, and the wrestling’s of my everyday battle! Jesus talked this way (Matt. 18:9) about me and he wants me to take it […]
Antidote For Reality
Reality is a place I do not often like to go. If I can escape it, I will. If I can change it, I will. The deep impressions of life are rarely formed by us; rather, we receive the deepest of impressions from our reality when attached to an “author”. In effect, circumstances are what […]
Hidden Warfare Realities
Below is a helpful “Spiritual Warfare” synopsis written while in seminary (if you don’t have the time available to read the book). The book is a helpful guide (VERY exhaustive; a thorough study of the subject and not for the faint of heart). As the days get more trepidatious, I have benefited from these Biblical […]
The Devil Likes To Fish
Every day is a learning experience. If you ask what God wants to teach you in every moment, I believe he reveals himself and gives his wisdom if we ask and are purposeful in our steps to obtain it. His Word is a teacher and tutor for how to view life, to understand it, and […]
