Vacation
We camped along Lake Superior. It was a refreshing time and the scenery was incredible! Vacation 2009

Determination
It’s this simple: I need God. I need all of him. There can be no stopping. Not any more. There can be no settling in. This doesn’t mean I don’t rest. (I’m off for a few days with my family to camp and get away. I need rest!) It just means I don’t get satisfied. My heart needs to stay…

Be Awake in Your Own Life
I ran across a review at the NY Times website that caught my attention. The book is called The Slippery Year and it’s what the book is NOT about that caught me. The author said this: “It’s really a book about nothing,” said Ms. Gideon, 45, in a telephone interview last week from the summer home in Maine that she…

Deification of Youth and Imbecility
This is good stuff. Humor that hurts because it has some truth in it!

Want a Friend?
Over the weekend our family had a great time in Kansas. Terri and I went to my 25th class reunion from Leavenworth High School and had a wonderful time connecting with friends after 25 years! Another thing we squeezed in was visiting the Harry S Truman Library in Independence, MO. All my years of growing up in that area and…

There is a place in the Spirit I need to go, to find, to dwell in. There is a call from the Spirit to press in, to wait, to sense the next move, the next leading, the next action. There is a scene from an older movie, “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” where the chess tutor wipes all the chess pieces…

Monday Morning Musings

This past week we lost a legendary newsman in Walter Cronkite. The decline of network news can be attributed to so many more news outlets these days… and the fact that they…

Living in the Spirit
George Wood, the general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, has published a new book called Living in the Spirit. Dr. Wood has been a tremendous leader in the Assemblies of God for many years and is currently serving in our highest elected post. His Spirit-led leadership and expository preaching has been an example for me for many years. This…

Go Hide Yourself
I am preaching on Elijah again this Sunday. The Lord is stirring me so deeply for prayer and revival. One of the keys from 1 Kings 17 is God telling Elijah, “Go hide yourself.” Get aside. Learn from the Spirit. Take your Bible, a pen, a notebook, and hear from God. The key to Elijah’s ministry is what is still…

Call to Anguish
David Wilkerson can be so controversial. He doesn’t mind. It’s his call! There are audios I hear from time to time where I know in his voice this has truly gripped him. This is such a message and I pray it challenges you as it challenges me. (I’d say “enjoy” but that’s not fitting.)
