Pastor’s are not supposed to have a “cause” other than preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was always taught that you preach TO the people not AT the people. Unfortunately, even preaching TO the people (or just being a prophet in your own time) is more often than not interpreted as preaching AT the […]
I’d like to address Theists today. Specifically those theists that identify as Judeo-Christian. And the question I’d like to ask is “Do you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?” OK. Not really, I would not ask such a question. I’ll explain that in a minute. More to the point, what I’d like to discuss […]
Romans 12:12 (NIV) 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. The scripture is so good at targeting areas in our life, enabling us to accurately evaluate how we are doing and how we can improve. Romans 12:12 tells us three things we should “BE”. There is a dynamic in them. That […]
We all want to be somebody. And we all want to be somebody special. We want to be somebody unique. We all want to know that we are the most unique human on the planet. Beyond our fingerprints, beyond our DNA, beyond our talents and our personalities, we want to be unique. And we want […]

The most transformational, defining moments of my life have been when the LORD has reached down, enlightened and taught me. All the great teachers I’ve been privileged to hear, and my best times of […]
I’m certainly no theologian. But because of the “business” I’ve been in for several decades, it has been incumbent upon me be somewhat of a dilettante in it. I’ve attempted to explore some of the mysteries of the scriptures and understand the difficult passages there. It’s not the hard to understand or disputed passages that […]
The LORD, My Keeper Part II… So, what does HE know that uniquely qualifies Him to be my keeper? “My wrongs are not hidden from You.” Psalm 69:5,6 “All My desire is before You.” Psalm 38:9 “All my adversaries are before You” Psalm 69:19b “My times are in Your hands” Psalm 31:15 “You know the […]
Psalm 121:5-8 (NASB) 5 The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. 6 The sun will not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. 8 The Lord will guard your going out and […]
“20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” There are many things in the world that […]
