The New Publisher Here we are in the second decade of the new millennium and we are faced with a brand new way of serving the Lord in the Kingdom. Publishing has radically changed. The new changes are almost designed for those of us who feel called by the Lord to share the vision of what He has called us to do. The new methodologies work better for prophets, pastors, and teachers than they do for almost … Continue reading →

For a long time my heart has been directed toward people in the pews of mainline churches left without teaching, training, or encouragement in righteousness, power, and love in the Lord. I spend much time thinking about them, praying for them, asking God to reach them. Today, I was listening to a televangelist who was prophetically talking about God gathering a remnant as we all prepare for the end and the revisiting of the Messiah to the earth. … Continue reading →
I have just added two minisites to the Radiqx site. There is a section now on Practical Prophecy without speculation. There is also a new section of the Practical Practice of Walking in the Spirit. They need to be proofed. If you have time to read the pages in the sections and sent me any typos, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there is anything you want me to write about, just let me know.
Continue reading →One of the things that happens as you mature is dealing with all that you have seen, heard, and done. As I have told many people, I have learned more since I was fifty than in the fifty years prior. My entire writing career started when I was fifty, for example. Lately, we have been dealing a lot with Ecclesiastes—all is vanity. More and more, nothing seems to matter except our relationship with Jesus. Increasingly, the things … Continue reading →
Easier said than done, huh? I’ve been contemplating this issue now that I’ve “retired” — wondering what the Lord would have me do with the rest of my life. I tend to go by what He blesses. But that is certainly not a reliable indicator. You have to make certain of several things to do that: Are you following His lead? If not any blessings on your direction are probably from the Creep. Are you hearing from … Continue reading →
One of the largest difficulties in my life is easing myself into a project. My normal response is to get really excited and go gung ho ’til I’ve got it as far as I can go. I’ve got a new postulant at Radiqx and what I want to do is start dumping stuff on the poor man and just overwhelm him with input. Now, of course, I don’t think it is overwhelming but it always is to … Continue reading →
Oh my God — NO! We do not need Bible thumping obnoxious brats in graphic design. We are to be salt, not spice One of the most difficult things for a new Christian to realize is that beating people over the head with Jesus is counter-productive. Jesus called us the salt of the world. Salt has a very special job and it is used in very special ways when we eat. Salt is a preservative It keeps … Continue reading →
I was sent David Barringer’s book There’s Nothing Funny About Design to review. It was an interesting read. First, let me say that if I hadn’t been asked to read it, I never would have done so. It’s for a world I do not inhabit. This is an intellectually stimulating, very entertaining read Of course it is. It won the 2008 Winterhouse Award for Design Writing. This is an award out of AIGA for writers about design … Continue reading →
So, why do we do the things we do? I certainly hope that your answer is not “because I want to”. It would be nice to be able to assume that we are all doing what we do because of a higher level of motivation than that. But Solomon had it right… Again I am reminded of Oswald Chamber’s statement that you can always tell who the true believers are by the fact that they are sitting … Continue reading →
