Christmas Is Coming...
The invasion, occupation, and oppression was self-inflicted, a result of the leaders and peoples rebellion against God. Their depressive state and experience, the gloom and distress, was self-imposed, and born out of choices that opposed their God and His Way. The result, a humbling.

Gone Astray
Ever found yourself pounding your chest, leaning in hard, mouth wide open, barking, "I'm RIGHT!" You're WRONG! I think that certainly describes the times we are in as a people and as a nation. All the finger pointing in the world won't rescue a single "Lost" soul. Jesus' answer to this finger pointing, is striking, challenging and potentially, life altering for the ones who choose it.

His Way, Sweeter Than Honey
Trapped by indecision, fear, a looming sense of failure; there is a Way Out, the psalmist calls it sweeter than honey. Want a taste...? A followers way through the mess, simple, seemingly insignificant, YES, but real. How to endure temptation, from a simple fool.

That HITS!
"That Hits!" I've heard and seen this expression used a ton on social media lately. But really, does it HIT?! "My eyes shed streams of water..." This expression that "HITS," why? Tears because we DO NOT KEEP Your law.

Intercession Moves God To Act!
When God's people cry-out with hearts bent low, seeking forgiveness, He responds to their earnest prayers according to His will! At the cross we see the ultimate act of intercession, in both the action and words of Christ, SAVIOR!

Lord, Hear and Act...
Turning to God, pleading for His forgiveness out of our sorrow filled confession, because we as a people have gone our own, destructive, way draws the heart...the ear...the gaze of God towards us.
Keep Reading Daniel's Confession & Plea!
Daniel pleads with God, who is merciful and forgiving, to bring His people back home from their enslavement Babylon. Daniel's prayer challenges us today, to get real and pray for God's divine intervention. Today in America we need God, if we don't get RIGHT with Him, we as a people are in deep trouble, just like Israel in their rebellion.
Keep Reading Do-Over, Anyone Need One?
Everybody needs Do-Over moments in their lives! No matter how good your estimate is of YOU, if you're honest, they're some NOT so good things in your thinking, your feeling and even your actions. We all would love to have a do-over.

The Way Up, is Down!
“The Way Up, is Down,” a phrase one of my favorite pastors, Derrick Prince, used to describe the act of “Humbling Yourself.” Over the next several weeks we’ll focus our attention on the theme of, Repentance. Specifically, “A Living Repentance,” meaning, you’re proximity to the Light, exposes your darkness and demands you’re turning from darkness to light!

OutCasts, Invited? YES!
Jesus revealing the Father's true heart toward lost and hurting humanity, and exposing an ugliness that lays within each of our hearts a self-righteous spirit that judges itself better than and therefore more deserving than another.

Outcasts, Invited?
God goes after lost ones for the rescue, and at ALL COST! The problem is pride, are you a lost one?

OUTCASTS invited, no MATTER what!
We are all lost, God searches for and rescues, and when you become a rescued one who was once a lost one, you become willing to let go of this world, it's demands and even relational ties to walk with a lost one so that they might be found! A selfless whatever it takes, now thats a counter cultural revolutionary movement of LOVE!

Outcasts Invited?
Out Casts Invited! Often we like to think our society and even the church is inclusive. The corporate world, governments, cause crusaders from every walk of life love throwing that word around claiming they are inclusive, want to become inclusive or they are intentionally exclusive. As the father of a "Differing Abilities" son...

Be Served or SERVE!
Be Served or SERVE, we, most of us at least would agree that serving is what we should do, but the way we live life as American's seems to speak other wise, being served is what we really desire...

The Way, Path and Truth?
As humans, because of our capacity to reason, because of our physical strength, because our ability to create we think we are enough to make thinks RIGHT. But is that true, are we enough to make things right? And more importantly, are we enough to keep things right? What about you, is a life well spent, spent on the making and keeping things right?

Children, A Gift!
Children a true gift from Heaven, or the King of Heaven, more accurately! There is nothing more imposing or important for humanity than to care for children, both while they are in the womb and after they are born. Some of the greatest atrocities that are carried out in our world are carried out AGAINST children...
