"I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.” Isaiah 65:1, NIV
This was the case in the Jesus movement of the late 60s and early 70s. It was also my experience. In 1970 I set off for Toronto, Canada by

The Father’s Great Love
The Lord says there is nothing you can do that would make Him love you more...and there is nothing you can do to make Him love you less...He loves you because...He loves you because...He loves you because...He loves you because

An indecisive faith and a wavering hope immobilize us on our journey to fullness of life and our daily walk in the Spirit of Jesus. If we could only believe Jesus was/is telling the truth then this world in which we live would be an exciting place! I

The longing to belong is very powerful and foundational to our sense of self. But there is an infinitely greater pull –Father’s. He is constantly seeking us out and calling our heart to his! “My son, give me your heart” (Proverbs) When we respond to

"Your salvation is not a reward for good behavior! It was a grace thing from start to finish; you had no hand in it. Even the gift to believe simply reflects His faith! (Ephesians 2:8-Mirror)

You and I are the connection the world is desperately looking for. How is that factual? First, the world is disconnected from their awakening to THE one and only true God. And that is not His desire or doing. We are ambassadors to that emergent conne

There is nothing more secure than Christ living in our hearts. The Victor is within us! “For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may stre

Our challenge is believing the gospel of grace (aggressive forgiveness) for ourself and others, daily!

Would you dare characterize your relationship with Jesus as scandalous? Wait a minute before you reject this seeming crazy notion.  We live in a culture that continually tries to pull us down to its level of immaturity. Every day, world media outlets

You can't be lost without first truly belonging! Our belonging trumps any lostness we have ever experienced! As bearers of the image and likeness of God, we are always invited into the depths of His searching and finding. I desire to fully know and

Can you indulge me a moment of what may seem to be a hyperbolas overstatement? Okay, here goes. You cannot exaggerate how critical your value is to Jesus. His Message hinges on you and me believing the Gospel for ourselves in every moment of every d

Can you hear God laughing? Can you see rays of sunlight as they warm your face? Can you sense affirmation and acceptance in another’s smile? Can you observe a flower growing? Can you see the notes that come from a piano being played?

 “The Word became a human being; we are his address; he resides in us! He captivates our gaze! The glory we see there is not a religious replica; he is the authentic begotten son. The glory (that Adam lost) returns in fullness! Only grace can communi

Historically, no outpouring of God has lasted very long apart from intentional Kingdom Synergy. What is ‘synergy’? I’m glad you asked. Synergy happens when two or more entities decide to join their visions for the purpose of an agreed upon outcome. T

“If we don’t come together right now, on this hallowed ground we will be destroyed…” President Abraham Lincoln

Do you want your future to mirror your past? Certainly not! It will, if you don’t grab the immediacy of the present! The immediacy of the pr

“I can’t do a solitary thing on my own: I listen, then I decide. You can trust my decision because I’m not out to get my own way but only to carry out orders. If I were simply speaking on my own account, it would be an empty self-serving witness.” (J
