Majesty awaits the American Church.

Culture of death
When I watch people say incredibly threatening things to a dentist who hunts a lion… (which, by the way, would be terroristic threats in some other situations)… and then say NOTHING when videos are shown of Planned Parenthood doctors talking of selling off body parts (or worse, defending the actions as “legal”)… and when I realize that many of the…

Power failure
I was reading through the Gospel of Mark and in Chapter 9 there is the story of the man who brought his son to the disciples and they couldn’t cast it out. By Mark 9:19 I wrote this question to myself in the margin of my Bible: “When will I get tired of my spiritual impotence?” When?

Prayer for the Day – Hunger
Deepen my hunger for you, O Lord. Let deep call to deep. Allow my heart to find new depths and new heights in you. Day by day. Let my heart be famished for holy knowledge. Then, let it be ravaged by your love. Day by day. Hear my prayer, O Lord.

Reminder of the Day
From time to time it is wonderful to be reminded of some solid Kingdom truth: Your eternal destiny is not cosmic retirement; it is to be a part of a tremendously creative project, under unimaginably splendid leadership, on an inconceivably vast scale, with ever increasing cycles of fruitfulness and enjoyment — and that is the prophetic vision which ‘eye has…

Is it God… or us?
The place of the miracle… the place of God doing something spectacular… is a dangerous place to be. We, as believers, need to plan. We need to work hard. But at the end of the day, if we have worked hard and planned well and something good happens… is it just us working hard and planning well? Is it just…

He is passionate about his people. He is passionate about his Church. He is passionate about Heights Church. 2. He is the glory in our midst. His…

Can these bones live?
The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He…

David’s Mighty Men
I am prayerfully walking through 2 Samuel now as I look at spiritual warfare. In Chapter 23 there is the story of David’s mighty men. Amazing heroes who would go the distance for David. They caught his heart, loved him, and would battle anyone anywhere on his behalf. I think of that and am deeply thankful for not only mighty…

Crazy faith and foolishness
My journey in prayer and Scripture currently has me reading prayerfully through the Old Testament narratives beginning in 1 Samuel. The prayerful journey is to think in terms of spiritual warfare. 1 Samuel 14 is a story that draws me because of the contrast between Jonathan and Saul. I remember youth speakers really embellishing this story when I was in…
