Restful Warfare
One of the keys of silence is rest. There is such a need to unplug and let the quiet envelope us once again. But in that rest comes war. The silence, if we allow it to take effect, will actually us to hear the voice of God more clearly. There is an enemy with a stake in us NOT hearing…

People Completely Forgotten
THIS is injustice. We are too silent on behalf of people who have been pawns for generations.

The Pain of Satisfaction
The other day I read a story about a man I have admired for well over 20 years. He is the top in his profession, in my opinion.

At one point in time I remember reading that living prophetically as a Christian is having a Bible in one hand and newspaper in the other. Well, both are readily available online, so maybe our hands are freed up to raise them to God in intercession. But we MUST pay attention to our world. There are things happening where we…
