It is humorous when man attempts to lecture God. The lecturer will often direct their words at another person, but the unstated purpose is to superimpose their worldview over scripture and tell God where He got it wrong. Too often, the truth of the scripture is lost in the attempt to make the Bible fit…

“And yet, I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” John 16:32 & 33 As leaders in the church today, we can expect…
Read moreAnd So It Starts/Continues
Since my last blog in December, we have transitioned through the holidays to a new year. That last blog of 2024 encouraged the church not to lose focus. The new administration takes over in a few days, and the deep state and their equally uninformed minions continue to attack. Just remember that God created government,…
Read moreDon’t Lose Focus
Today, I was reminded of the church’s work during this transition between administrations and, hopefully, our culture. We are moving from a corrupt, demonically controlled administration to one that has a proven track record of putting the people first. However, this new administration still operates in a corrupt, demonically engaged world with corruptible humans. The…

How many times in our leadership walk with Christ have we found our faith waning or just MIA? Circumstances have distracted our attention, and the immediacy of the situation causes us to forget to lead from our knees. After all, we have a problem that requires immediate action, right? Then, when our brilliant solution doesn’t…

Let’s talk About Making America Christian Again, Healthy Again, and Great Again. I am utilizing some current vernaculars to make this point. Above all, Christ is the focus of all three of these future states. We desperately need purposeful leaders in our culture to make it happen. The “making” statements conjure many feelings, depending on…
Read moreBe Encouraged
When working through difficult situations, leaders sometimes hyper-focus on overcoming the problem. It is not wrong to focus because we must navigate the crisis successfully. However, as the situation begins to resolve, the leader needs to take the opportunity to encourage his/her team and point out the positives as they begin to develop. This step…
Read moreThe Paradox of Living a Godly Life in An Evil Time
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 The darkness of this time can seem overwhelming. We are faced with the manifestations of witchcraft and other unbridled evil in our government, schools, communities,…
Read moreThe Leader’s Responsibility to Call Out Corruption
In Proverbs, King Solomon lays out six things that God hates, yes, seven that He abhors. Church leaders must take notice and ensure that their church or ministry is void of these activities. Further, leaders must be ready to call out corrupt behavior wherever it is found in organizations, the government, schools, and businesses. Sadly,…
Read moreThe Church Leader’s Response to Labels
Recently, an acquaintance tossed out the term Christian Nationalist when we were discussing the Biblical foundations of America. Since I was accused of being one, I asked what that meant. I did not receive a response. Therefore, I owned the title because I am a follower of Christ, and I do love my country. Still,…
