What America saw yesterday on the steps of our Capital and in its Sacred Halls was a tragedy that should’ve never happened. When they breached our Capital they were taking Justice in their own hands. I want to caution us, before we accuse others for what happened, let’s take a step back and assume someContinue reading “What Happened to Lady Justice?”

2021…”A New Thing”
Let me ask you, could this be more than just a “New Year.” Could 2021 be the beginning of a whole “New Thing?” For many 2020 left us confused and frustrated wondering what was it that I was suppose to have learned from this crazy year? We know we’ve all had to change but haveContinue reading “2021…”A New Thing””
2020, “A Year We Won’t Soon Forget”
How we remember 2020 will be determined by the lens of our individual experiences. There is no doubt that we all experienced and shared extreme challenges and pain that we would love to forget. I remember many prophets sharing that 2020 would bring a complete new vision for all of us. A year of doubleContinue reading “2020, “A Year We Won’t Soon Forget””
Are You a Wanna-Be or a Maccabee?
What is a Maccabee you might be asking? Great question, the Hebrew word literally means “hammer.” But let’s discover who they were as we take a closer look at Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights and the Feast of Dedication.

December Our Season of Light
You probably remember Joe Bidden declaring that we all were approaching a very “dark winter” as covid-19 would overshadow the world. Today, I declare the truth from God’s perspective.

Choose Life
Our last blog was “A Slow Trains Comin,” we used Bob Dylan’s song as a kick off to explain a death-cycle that we saw happening in America.

The Power of a Thankful Heart
Last year sitting in the Denver Airport, Jeanne and I watched a group of wounded veterans come wheeling and walking by us. Standing we raised our hands and thanked them for their sacrifice and service, to which they stopped, saluted and said thank-you. It was then I heard the Holy Spirit say to me, “DoContinue reading “The Power of a Thankful Heart”
Are You Down for the Count?
Without a doubt we can all agree that from the moment we became followers of Jesus Christ we entered a “fight.” According to Eph. 6:11-12, our opponent is not a democrat or a republican but rather an invisible, relentless evil called the devil whose only desire is to knock us out. Because we don’t knowContinue reading “Are You Down for the Count?”
Are You Playing a “Game of Pride”?
When you hear the word PRIDE, does it strike you as a positive or negative word? There are certainly many positive types of pride but there are just as many negative types that destroy relationships, businesses, marriages and countries. After watching the Presidential, Vice-Presidential and Governor debates last week, I found myself disgusted with theContinue reading “Are You Playing a “Game of Pride”?”
