1 Corinthians 1:10-13 CJB “Nevertheless, brothers, I call on you in the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah to agree, all of you, in what you say, and not to let yourselves remain split into factions but be restored to having a common mind and a common purpose. 11 For some of Chloe’s people...

Come Back, Church
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 →
Sanctification in the Shaking
We heard and saw rumblings among some Wesleyan groups toward more liberal theology in the twenty-teens. In 2020 failed prophecies shook the charismatic movement. In 2021, the reformed camp stood in disbelief as modern heroes began embracing woke ideology and began to nuance the abortion position. Having not yet fully recovered from Resolution 9, Southern...

The Cure for a Dysfunctional Church
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 →
My Prayer for the Charismatic Movement

Porn Star Pastor’s Wife?
I read an article the other day and sat stunned, seeing the most anti-biblical theology celebrated by pastors that I've seen in a while. Sure, the church in question is a "progressive Christian" church, but it didn't make the article's content any less jarring. The pastor's wife is a practicing porn star. In the article,...

Cultural Trends and the Church
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...

Jeremiah: Parallels of the American Church
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 →
Celebrity Culture in the Church
The anointing. It's a phrase I heard a lot growing up. So and so ministers under such a great anointing, the anointing is in this place, the presence is in this place. So many phrases and so many buzzwords, but what do these things mean? Presence, anointing, power? I'm sure by now most have heard... Continue Reading →
