Freedom Guns and Jesus

I was in the car, making jokes…by myself, laughing after a slightly crude antic-dote (that I wouldn’t repeat in church). I drove by a sign that said, “God doesn’t want you in church, he wants you in His presence.” I was thinking, “I want to be in God’s presence all the time”, and “God, You’re […]

Yesterday, during a time of listening, I received a picture of the ocean.  For me it was Wrightsville beach as I often see it from my kayak half a mile out. I noticed everyone playing in the shallows, and in the Spirit I heard the kingdom is like the ocean–the vast majority of believers only […]

Some convictions are fleeting, and some are tested by fire.  This one is tested and true. Where does the title come from?  As ministers, we all have a “toolbox” from which we draw the spiritual weapon or “tool” that we need to get a job done.  Tools like encouragement, prayer, instruction, healing, deliverance, discipleship, helps, […]

I have been getting what feels like a revelation of truth over the past few months.  I started this post a while ago, and the pieces are coming together. 1 Cor 15  paints a picture of what this world is all about.  It’s about God the father and Jesus the word, co-laboring to create a […]

As I write, I often wonder about what others would say if I allowed them to comment. I source the Bible, Webster, and Wiki. “Why Wiki” for example: Wikipedia is founded on the opposite of this blog, the rule that “anyone can edit” I find that a refreshing concept.  It is a democratic opinion of […]

Title Study How many times do I come across new truth that has always been there?  After all these years in the Bible, I still continue to find new revelation, confirmation, and correction to my convictions, doctrine and opinion. Today it came in the form of confirmation. (see Family Lost post from May 26, 2010). […]

Today was Church landscaping day… and I missed it. However, I decided to begin the removal of about a dozen large holly bushes that line my driveway.  It started to rain about the time I started, but I decided that working hard in the rain wouldn’t kill me.  The area under the bushes was infested […]

Dream Log 10/31/2013 just before alarm. I was out driving, looking for a place to spend time with the Lord. I came up a long road, up, up, up to a beautiful countryside farm at the top of a hill, and stopped in front of a farmhouse that I recognized it as Bobby Fowler’s house. […]

The current struggle:  Self-conscious light-shining. I am completely rocked by Pete Cabrera Jr.’s teachings and healings on YouTube.  First hurtle of “is this real” was easily cleared because I have been blessed to see many miracles, some outwardly and plainly visible and some at my own hand (Jesus’ power through my prayer.)  I have learned […]

When: This past Saturday What: Family time on the back deck Activity: Drinking piña coladas My youngest daughter (age 6) asks me why my drink looks different from hers, so I tell her that mine has rum.  She says, “I’m not ever going to drink alcohol, because I don’t want to be sick, and I want […]
