Audio Teaching Notes America 250 The greatest spiritual warfare we have ever seen. We must know the Word. Reacquaint ourselves with the founding principles. "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."1 - John Adams, Founding Father and second President. 1 Cor....

Happy Election Day!Happy Turn The Page Back to 1776 Day! I woke up this morning with the words, "On Christ the solid rock I stand all other ground is sinking sand."

Two hours sounds like a long documentary, but The Essential Church could have been much longer, considering everything it covered, and honestly, I wish it was much longer. From the fight of Grace Community Church against government restriction, two jailed pastors in Canada, and a crash course in Scottish Covenanter history, the film left me... Continue Reading →
For the last few days, my social media has been overrun with the little miss character. After a few weeks of enduring this little craze, it will likely be on to the next thing. The next pointless, no one will remember thing. Social media is a good tool for staying connected, but it also exposes... Continue Reading →

I have appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 CJB) "When Elizabeth heard Miriam’s greeting, the unborn child leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was completely filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh."

Growing up, I heard lots of teaching on the gifts of the Spirit, and being Pentecostal/Charismatic; I saw lots of weird stuff under the guise of the move of the Spirit. As I was thinking about the extra emphasis on the gifts of the Spirit and the minimal focus on the fruit, the thought came... Continue Reading →
Today is the 49th annual March for Life. This event for life has become increasingly political over the last several years. But unfortunately, with the hijacking of the term pro-life in recent years, much of the movement has given way to the industry. I am unashamedly pro-life, but I refuse to be holistically pro-life. Why?... Continue Reading →
"Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 ESV Pride and haughtiness are characteristics of the age we live in; being proud is seen as a good thing, yet the Bible repeatedly condemns pride (Prov. 11:2, Js. 4:6, 1 Jn. 2:16, Prov. 16:5). We take pride in our accomplishments but... Continue Reading →
Today, as I was reading 1 Corinthians chapters one through five, a few verses from chapter three caught my attention. 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 ESV "According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon... Continue Reading →
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He...

Today is the National Day of Prayer, and I have spent the last several hours thinking about what to write. I have read some posts by well-known Christian leaders, politicians, and the President of the United States. As much as this is a day that depicts unity; and is full of prayers for God's blessing...

For the last few days, I have been reading the book of Jeremiah for my devotional time, and I have seen many parallels between ancient Israel and modern-day America. No, this is not a prophecy post; I am just going to share a few observations and thoughts from what I have read the last few... Continue Reading →
By now, most of us have heard and hopefully have taken the time to watch the Planned Parenthood videos. They indeed are sick. But this post is not about Planned Parenthood; actually, very little of it will have to do with abortion, but I’ll start there. Pharaoh ordered all babies two and under to be... Continue Reading →
