Thank you for the trial , Lord. I was listening to John Hagee this morning. He was on one of his wonderful tirades again about the glory of Jesus. But then he slipped into something I have heard over and over since becoming a believer as I studied scripture. Sadly, I rarely hear it from the pulpit. Rejoice in your trials Maybe the NASB puts it better: exult in our tribulations [Romans 5:3]. Pastor Hagee was talking about … Continue reading →
The Desert Experience This is written by the leader of some home churches in Colorado—well, actually, he’s probably more anti-religious than that. Be that as it may, it is an excellent article and certainly reflects my experience over the past for decades. You need to understand this stuff. Dry times are a good thing Let the Lord minister to you freely.

Christendom Is Done , Now What Do We Do? – Desiring God. I must admit, this one surprised me. Christendom was never a good idea and I was of the opinion that it died a century ago. The reason I say good riddance is my issues with the basic concept of a “church” made up of self-sustaining legal organizations as opposed to being made up of ministries of men and women led by God. One of the quotes … Continue reading →
http://media.voe.org/Manna_fest/2231161 Perry Stones actually preached on Manna Fest this week. You need to listen to this. His position is that the shaking of the church is necessary for a fresh anointing. It sure lines up with what Pat & I have been experiencing.

I’ve spent some time over the past week in conversations on the Gentle Wisdom blog about false teachers and how to handle that issue. Poor Peter! The writer of the blog, Peter Kirk, has been involved in herding cats. This morning I’ve been working on my bible study of the Timothys and Titus. I thought I’d share a short portion of that. 2 Timothy 3:8–9 … Continue reading →

God might give them repentance so they can come to know the Truth. In … Continue reading →

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For … Continue reading →
