This is the third and final post in this series on the end-time church. In the previous post, we reviewed the functions of the end-time church in the Kingdom of God. We are not, as leaders and Kingdom messengers, to sit idly by waiting on the rapture during the latter days. Don’t get me wrong,…
Read moreThe Picture of The End-Time Church
This is post # 2 of 3 on the prophecy and function of the end-time church. The book of Revelations gives a clear picture of the churches we can expect to see and are experiencing today as we hurdle toward the end times. The church of Ephesus can be compared to many of today’s mainline…
Read moreProphecy of The End-Time Church
There is a special church in our future. This church was prophesied approximately 700 years before Christ’s birth. It is the church of the latter days on this earth. When it will be established in its fullness, I do not know. I have a strong sense it is in its developmental stages and may be…
Read moreBeing A Great Follower Makes a Good Leader
In the last post, I dealt with leading the church in difficult times. Boldly leading the church when the culture attacks from all sides will be difficult and require a special leader. How do we find, train, and turn these strong leaders loose? Stay tuned. When Christ began calling his disciples, He bade them to…
Read moreLeading the Ekklesia at This Time in History
This post may be a multiple-day affair. The Holy Spirit started working on me with a message about leadership in perilous times. We are definitely in that time. In his book Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting (1973/2023), Derek Prince relates a story of a vision for Kenya in the 1960s. A young man in…

There appears to be a segment of societies around the world that want to change culture in order to eliminate all things associated with God and Jesus Christ. Actually, it is likely more accurate to say that…
Read moreWhat We Need Is Change—spelled R-E-V-I-V-A-L
Change is not easy. However, I enjoyed change management and built a 40-year career on disruption and managing change in healthcare. But the change we need now is different. This is change with an eternal purpose. God the Father moved to make a change in me and to revive my Spirit toward Him. A personal…
Read moreYour Mt. Horeb Experiences = Preparation for The Next Level
The development of this post has been a God moment, teaching me patience. It has been in development for several days, maybe weeks. But, if we are going to be leaders, especially in this current world and in the Ekklesia, we need to seek guidance from our leader, God, and wait for the answer. Not…
Read moreThe Importance of Truth
Leadership requires the willingness and capability to speak the truth in all situations. This becomes more important when the economic, cultural, and situational conditions worsen. Recently, I was studying the parable of the ten virgins in Chapter 25 of the Gospel of Matthew. Like many passages, I had read this parable several times, but the…
Read moreDelivering Friendly, Unwanted Messages
September 7, 2023 Leaders receive information, evaluate the information, and construct an appropriate response. Sometimes, the response is a difficult message to deliver. Such is this post. I have felt God’s guidance to write all of you this letter. It is my belief that some events are soon to transpire on this earth, including the…
