Thoughts and articles on Revival
During my time at the revival at Brownsville, it was not uncommon to find me out at a remote part of Pensacola Beach with a longboard, looking to catch a few waves between school and services. If you live on the West Coast, I know the Gulf isn’t Mavericks. On a good day, you might[…]
This year there is a new ornament on our Christmas tree that seems a bit out-of-place amidst the other decorations. You see it does not shine with the shimmer of silver or gold, nor does it twinkle like a bright star to behold. To some it would seem that it has arrived four months too[…]
Everywhere I have ministered over the past several months I’ve asked a simple question, “How many feel as if you have been in a significant and prolonged season of transition?” The response is always overwhelming. Nearly every hand in the church will shoot up attesting to the fact. No doubt many reading this could testify[…]
This article first appeared at Charismanews.com you can read it here Serious giants are facing off against the American church at this moment. Abortion has claimed more than 50 million casualties and counting. Terrorism is no longer isolated to foreign fields. Secularism is advancing through society and infiltrating the sanctuary, and radical agendas no longer[…]
Jesus said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come” (Luke 17:1). The question is not wether or not you will be offended but what you do when you are.

School and Shooting shouldn’t be two words that we would ever associate with one another. Unfortunately it’s become all too common of a headline. Today our nation is once again morning the loss of our precious children. This time, 18 kindergarteners . My heart is saddened, my spirit grieved. These things should not be. As[…]
6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And[…]
I’ve been getting into a lot of fights lately; not with my wife, not with friends or family, not with co-workers or church members, and not with that stranger that nearly sideswiped me out on the highway (though I would have loved to have a ‘brief’ conversation with him). The person I’ve been fighting with[…]
There is an epidemic sweeping through our nation right now. It is a deep-seated irrational fear of wait for it…CHRISTIANS.
