Discerning the Times, Part 36

Our goal is to discern: 1) What is happening? 2) What is not happening? 3) What we can do about it? We might paraphrase Question 3: What can we do to be the salt and light we are called to be in our times? In order to be the light we are called to be, we must have it or have understanding of it. We...

Discerning the Times, Part 35

Newsweek Magazine recently boasted that Christianity in America was dead. This slap in the face to the church in America only served to wake her up. Many took the comment and held it up before the Lord as Hezekiah did with the boasts of the Assyrian general against the Lord. It is most encouraging...

Discerning the Times, Part 34

Nearly twenty years ago, Bob Weiner, John Elliott, and I were doing a radio show together when the Spirit came upon us and we were shown 500,000 small home groups being raised up all over America. These were places where new believers would come for salvation, healing, deliverance, and basic...

An Anchor for the Soul

I have been studying leadership for almost forty years, and it is a subject so vast and deep that I am constantly learning more about it. One of the most curious things about leadership is that those who may not understand much about it can have a great deal of it. Likewise, those who can know a great deal about it can have very little of it. Having followers is proof that one is a leader.

Discerning the Times, Part 33

To briefly review the purpose of this study, we are addressing how to discern the times from the perspective of answering three ultimate questions: 1) What is happening? 2) What is not happening? 3) What can we do about it? Using these three questions in a crisis can help us stay on course to...

Discerning the Times, Part 32

With the recent passage of the “hate crimes” bill in Congress, the persecution of the church in America by its government has begun. We can expect it to begin slowly, but we need to prepare for an onslaught because it is coming. Of course, all Christians should be against hate and crime. Many who...

Discerning the Times, Part 31

We continue to address one of the most important questions of the present time: Should Christians devote their energy and resources to shoring up the crumbling foundations of governments and institutions or devote these to preparing the way for the coming kingdom? You may have noticed by now that I...

Discerning the Times, Part 30

We are still dealing with some of the important questions being asked in this time, such as: If the foundations of the nations are crumbling, is it not a waste of time to try to shore them up? Why should we not spend our effort and time in building the kingdom and just let the world crumble as it...

Discerning the Times, Part 29

We are dealing with some of the most important questions being asked at this time: If the foundations of the nations are crumbling, is it not a waste of time to try to shore them up? Why should we not spend all of our efforts and time in building the kingdom and forget about the nations that are...

Discerning the Times, Part 28

Almost daily, there is evidence that the foundations of world governments and institutions are crumbling. In biblical prophecy, the primary cause of what is called, “the great tribulation” (see Matthew 24:21; Revelation 7:14), which will come at the end of this age, is the result of human problems...
