Exposing Schemes of the Deceiver
We see them everywhere, people whose very countenance has the appearance of being troubled or bothered by…something. Some we try to avoid making eye contact with, others we watch as they have imaginary conversations with, ‘who-knows-who’. From my observation there are varying degrees of mental illness or being “troubled.” Some appear to function and respond… Read More ›

Ministering Freedom to the ONE!

Though The Times They Are A Changing!
Proverbs 4:7 says that “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.” The Bible has much to say about the importance that wisdom and understanding has as it pertains to our personal lives.

You Can’t Handle The Truth!
Searching out the truth in a matter can be very difficult. In today’s society we change terminology to legitimize the guilty by minimizing the terms we use in describing their behavior. For instance; a person who was once referred to as a ‘porn-star’ is now referred to as an ‘adult film star’ and a woman… Read More ›
We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident
I have found that the truths that a culture professes are in direct relationship to the moral and ethnic values of that culture. The framers of the Constitution of the United States proclaimed “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain… Read More ›
“What We’ve Got Here…Is Failure to Communicate!” 1967 Film, Cool Hand Luke
I don’t think any of us would deny the fact, that every news organization is in some way biased in their reporting of the news. I find it sad, that the days of Walter Cronkite are over and along with it any trust we may have that our news is in any way impartial. Personally,… Read More ›
“Jerry, Just Remember, It’s Not A Lie If You Believe It.” George Costanza
If we did a word search for a phrase that is currently featured prominently in our society I am sure that ‘Fake News’ would be somewhere close to the top of the list.

2018-The Keys to Awareness & Restoration
Everyone, to some degree, is interested in what the Holy Spirit has/is revealing to the church concerning the year ahead.

How Well Do We Really See?
When you look at the picture on the right do you see a young woman or an old woman? Interestingly enough many can see only one or the other. With practice it is possible to see both but to do so you have to focus your eyes on a neutral area. If you see only… Read More ›
Destroying The Enemy Within
Years ago there was a comic strip written by Walt Kelly whose main character, ‘Pogo’ introduced us to a phrase that so captured man’s humanity that it has become a main stay in pop culture.

TALK ABOUT BEING ‘INCONVENIENCED BY THE TRUTH
The other day I went to the movie ‘Dunkirk’ with my son-in-law.

Sixteen verses discovered missing from the word of GOD!
The first Bible I studied after becoming a Christian was Lois’s copy of the ‘Living Bible’. I didn’t know much about Bibles other than the big white one my parents had stuffed into their bookcase. It was full of ‘thee’s and thous’ which made reading it like reading an old Shakespearean play. The Living Bible… Read More ›
The ‘slow death’ of a Nation!
Like others I have wondered for years as to why there does not seem to be any reference in the Bible concerning our nation as it pertains to the end of days. I even went so far as to wonder if our nation had suffered a major natural disaster or had been invaded by another… Read More ›

You Take the Red Pill…and…You Stay in Wonderland!
I remember the first morning after I had given my heart to Jesus.

Two seemingly opposite yet foundational themes, found throughout the scriptures, which describes our role as children of God.

You’re Not From Around Here
Twenty-five years ago a book came out entitled, ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus’ it was intended to deal with the complicated relationships between men and women. And though it did give us a different perspective and a few good quotes that one could chuckle over it only scratched the surface of… Read More ›
2017 – A Year of Unpredictability!
As I prayed over the New Year I sensed in my spirit that this is going to be a very aggressive year for everyone around the world. As fast paced and unpredictable as last year was, this year will far surpass it as one event will hardly have a chance to be spoken of when… Read More ›
