Freedom Guns and Jesus

I was listening to a prayer leader pray, “Oh, Lord, forgive us of our sins of comission and omission…” What didn’t I do again?  How about this:  Have you robbed someone of the opportunity to learn from you or to be inspired by your faith or action simply because you “wanted God to get the […]

I was trying to figure out how to say no negative positively.  The answer is “positive”. I will try to convey this concept without going negative, or at least only going negative on the fact that we tend to do so. I’m increasingly agitated (righteous indignation) when Christians speak negatively about other Christians.  I have […]

I’ve been back from Brasil for one week now, and I must say, going from operating all day in the spiritual and supernatural to the mundane physical existence of “normal” American life–it’s been a bit of a downer. Learned so much about pulling on the Kingdom to allow miracles to manifest in the lives of […]

I was going to title this post, “A Lesson from the Suction Cup”.  But I was discussing my sense of humor as well as long titles with a friend, and was reminded that less is more… not to mention that most people just wouldn’t get it.  But now I have you “hooked”, so here you […]

“The Church has not taught us properly, but much of what she has taught us is proper.” – Christian Definitions of PROPER (1-3 not applicable) 4: very good : excellent 5: chiefly British : utter, absolute 6: strictly limited to a specified thing, place, or idea <the city proper> 7: a : strictly accurate : […]

Wow.  I am in the toughest spiritual/physical season of my entire adult life. I’ve been trying for 20 minutes to start this post, and I just can’t yet.  There are too many variables. I will say, for the two of you who follow this blog, that my reason for not writing is not that nothing’s […]

I’ve been taking more time to pray in the mornings, and since I have been gifted with a prayer language that I cannot understand, it makes it easier to pray for extended periods of time, but also a bit–well, frustrating that I often have no idea what I’m praying for.   I lend my toungue to the […]

Did you ever consider how much of our experiences are prophetic?  Foreshadowing, for you non-christian intellectual types. A few nights ago, I was working in the office at 12:30 am.  I heard ungodly screaming coming from my master bedroom, and my first thought was, “wow, that sounds demonic!”  It was just a couple of cats. […]

I was praying this morning, confessing a familiar sin, considering how the guilt of repeated failure in a given area leaves me feeling anxious and -well, claustrophobic.   Really?  Are the two related?  I have on occasion dealt with a sudden onslaught of claustrophobia; the last time was when I saw the news online about the […]

When Galatians 5:19-20 (“that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”) comes out in a sermon, it is often used to “separate the sheep from the goats” and cause one believer to declare that other belivers will not be saved. Is it possible that “salvation” is different from “inheriting the Kingdom“?  […]
