The scene at Calvary was excruciating.  The mother of Jesus and a few of His followers sat and watched all that transpired.  I cannot imagine the sorrow and grief they experienced through the whole ordeal.  That had to be, without doubt, the darkest day of their lives – they watched Jesus suffer and die. TheContinue reading “Keeping the Faith on Saturday”

A couple of mornings ago as I was praying the Lord showed me something I feel I need to share with you.  I saw a beautiful river as it flowed through the countryside.  It flowed for several miles, then all of a sudden, it reached a place where there was a logjam in its path. Continue reading “YOUR CHURCH – A LAKE OR A RIVER?”

Anticipate.  The dictionary gives multiple definitions of this word, some of which are: to regard as probable; to be aware of (what will happen) and take action in order to be prepared; and look forward to.  This word has played into my life many times in many ways. I remember as a child anticipating specialContinue reading “Awakening in the United States is on the Way”

As a God-called preacher of the Gospel I always walk through my storms unfazed and every time I come out of a fiery time of testing you cannot even smell smoke on my clothes…wouldn’t it be great if this were true?  The truth is all of us, regardless of our standing and relationship with God,Continue reading “I am Human but I am His!”

How much more can we take?  I am ashamed to admit this is a question I have asked several times over the past few weeks.  The prolonged crises happening in our nation seem to have no end.  They are striking so close to home and leaving an imprint that will remain forever.  I am tiredContinue reading “The Spotlight Keeps Coming Back to Me”

I grew up in a small town in southeastern Oklahoma in a vastly different time from today.  Instead of computer games, we played real games.  My adventures were limited only to my imagination.  Everyday I was outside with my friends and oh the fun we could have with the simplest of things!  One of theContinue reading “Revival… Will We Know It When We See It?”

Jesus is coming again.  This is a message I’ve heard all my life.  I’ve heard sermons, sung songs and read books on the subject.  Serving many years as an evangelist, there was probably not a revival I preached that I did not address this in some way.  I really do believe it – not becauseContinue reading “More Than A Message”

Normally at this time of the year families are gathered at local ballfields cheering for their sons and daughters as they participate in America’s greatest pastime – baseball.  From the little bitty guys who can barely swing the bat to the more proficient older kids who dream about one day playing in the major leagues,Continue reading “Keep Your Eye on the Ball”

The ministry of Jesus was multi-faceted to say the least.  He touched every area of society and truly made an impact everywhere he went.  But it seems whatever the occasion, He was always healing the sick.  Healing sick people was a priority of our Lord.  “Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preachingContinue reading “Making Healing Front and Center”

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.”  (John 14:12) I am a firm believer in the infallible Word of God.  It is a settled issue with me –Continue reading “The Promise is for You”
