Peter, John, the Lame Beggar and Paywalls

Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time for prayer, at three o’clock in the afternoon. And a man lame from birth was being carried up, who was placed at the temple gate called “the Beautiful Gate” every day so he could beg for money from those going into the …

Tonite 6pm Prayer for our Republic

This is likely the most important week in our country since its founding. I am not talking about politics. I am talking about the moral and spiritual choices in front of us right now. Do we continue supporting the shedding of innocent blood and the pursuit of wickedness? Or do we return to righteousness and …

A Lesson in Preparation and Relief

Do you have what you need to see yourselves, your families, your church, your community through a crisis? East Tennessee and western North Carolina are finding out about prep in real time. They are also schooling the rest of our country in what it means for people to step up and take care of each …

Contemplative Prayer and Hallow

I post to you today from the country of Belize where I’ve come sharing the gospel. People here seem so open to the message of salvation in Christ. I wish I could stay longer. On to today’s topic… It seems every time I open YouTube, I get Jonathan Roumie’s face telling me to stop what …

Understanding the End Times from the Bible

In my recent lengthy search for a church, I had a few boxes to tick as “must have” before I would consider joining. One box was solid teaching about the end times from a premillennialism perspective. I did not find a single church that met this criteria. Some churches had premillennialism encoded in their statement …

Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 3

By my count, there are 14 birth pang signs in the Olivet Discourse across the 3 synoptic gospels. I’ve covered ten of them in part 1 & 2 of this series, which updates the original series I did awhile ago. They are still here on the site if you want to go read them. When …

Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 2

Events in the world are happening so fast, it’s hard to keep up. Almost like horses galloping through the earth bringing prophetic change that wipes out freedom and brings global tyranny through war, suppression of the truth, famine, pestilence, and death. The world was even introduced to the apocalyptic imagery of the riders of Revelation …

Birth Pang Signs Revisited – Part 1

Awhile back I did a series of posts about the birth pang signs identified by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. I believe we live in prophetic times in which these signs are increasingly present so I thought I’d update the post in a more summarized way. What compelled me to reissue the post is the …

Computer Crashes and the Church

How much do we rely on tech? In my career, I spent a lot of time in software development and testing. I know how the good software developers get it done. I know the rigorous testing military flight systems undergo before the capability goes out to the combat units. And yet we are told that …

Electrification and the Church

I wonder how many churches are aware of the “electrification” requirements that are rapidly being written into law at the federal and state level? My guess? Not that many. Maybe none. If you pastor a church or go to a church facility, you might want to get smart on the green goals in your state. …
