Have you ever heard this statement….“Stay out of politics. It’s too dirty.”? How did politics get that way?
How about the people, even religious people who criticize the “prosperity gospel”? Do they have a point?
Continue readingGod, What Happened to My Dream?
In the book of Genesis, Joseph was a teenager when he had a couple of dreams…dreams which gave him some clues about his future, the thing he would be eventually put in a position to do. His family didn’t get very excited about it when he told them, but nonetheless, the dreams were from God. Continue reading
Dogtags and Pearls 3 Is In the Works
I am working on a new book, Dogtags and Pearls 3. We are about 2/3 of the way through writing it, but I thought I might give a preview of the cover. My aim is to have it finished and ready for printing by the end of this year, if everything goes well. Again, it will be a compilation of blog posts from this blog.
Intercession….Not Everyone Flies a Plane
In wartime, there are divisions of soldiers. Not everyone flies a plane and clears the skies…there are ground soldiers who go in and finish battles where the planes are unable to, but the air war is meant to destroy a majority of the enemy’s weapons, and weaken and demoralize the ground forces. So with that said…who is the “air force,” who clears the skies in a spiritual battle in the heavenlies? The intercessors, those who know how to war in the heavenlies. Continue reading
Believe it or Not, God is “Diverse”
Diversity….a term we have heard much about lately, although other words have superseded it now, such as identity (politics), intersectionality (whatever that is) and the like.
I’m going to make the easily provable case that God, even though He stays the same (as the scripture says) is actually diverse…and He enjoys our differences…because He made us this way! Continue reading
Thankfulness…The Language of the Kingdom
Thankfulness is the language of the Kingdom of God.
Praise and thankfulness for God’s love, grace, and His many blessings in our lives impresses Him. Without an attitude of gratitude, one cannot go far with God. If you have children, are you not supremely happy when they are grateful for the things you do for them? Do you not rejoice when they grow and mature and are happy adults who can make good decisions for themselves? Well, God is a Father…our original Father. Continue reading

Woe is Me…And What to Do About It
What is man that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart on him, that You should visit him every morning, and test him every moment? Job 7:17
Early in the book of Job, Job questions his own purpose, as he finds himself in a time of testing. I think we all do that as we do not understand what has happened to us. We are flummoxed, we are gobsmacked. Terrible things have happened to Job and he wonders why he was born. I think we all do that. Continue reading

Being Led by God…How Can I Know?
“What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him— these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.” 1 Corinthians 2:10-12
What to Do With Joshua 1:8?
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it.” Joshua 1:8 NKJV
These instructions were given to Joshua as he became the new leader of the Israelites after the death of Moses. Continue reading
Dogtags and Pearls...the plain and the precious
