A Cruse of Oil

A Cruse of OilI just had an experience with Jesus that I think you will find both humorous and encouraging.I love discovering new ways Jesus desires to share His Life wiht us.  From time to time I have “experimented” with the practical aspects of the Presence Powered Life. I have asked Jesus to paint through me and have actually felt my hand being guided at times by His. One time I was confronted with a carpentry project that was beyond my ability.  Turning to Jesus, the greatest carpenter who…See More

Core Competency

The Counterintuitive Kingdom

The Counterintuitive KingdomHuman reason is a wonderful gift and a useful tool for many things. It is a God – given faculty that helps us to understand and navigate the world around us. We use it every day. Many a mystery has been solved through good old fashioned intuitive thinking and common sense. However, there is one realm where human reasoning will not suffice. That is the Spiritual realm, namely the Kingdom of God. Spiritual things must be spiritually discerned. The natural mind cannot…See More

The Honor of Kings

The Honor of Kings“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory (honor) of kings is to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2Some of God’s mysteries will only be revealed in Heaven. But He has many for us to uncover here and now. He delights in our desire to search out things and will patiently lead us in our pursuit of answers. Sometimes these searches are to unlock spiritual mysteries and sometimes they are quite earthly and natural.Father does not conceal things from us to be mean…See More

Sustainable Fruit

Sustainable FruitIn the last month I have spoken to three different groups, a church, university students and a business management team, and each time the Lord has focused on this theme. “How can I have results that last and make a difference in my world?” It all comes down to two words, roots, and fruit.Picture a fruit tree. A fruit tree has three main parts, roots, trunk, and fruit. All of these parts are essential and interdependent. The life of the tree starts in the roots, comes up…See More

A New Look at a Classic

A New Look at a Classic Psalm 23 is one of the best known poetic works in the world; comforting words read daily at hospital bedsides and cemetery gravesides. Even people who are not particularly spiritual seek the solace and security these six verses offer. Recently I was reading them again and came to see them in a brand new way. A way filled with power for every Mountain Taker.David’s words evoke a peaceful pastoral setting of sheep grazing in sunshine filled meadows beside a tranquil pond.…See More

"Ah Ha"

“Ah Ha”Ever had the experience of reading along on a page and all of a sudden the text seems to jump out at you? Somehow it speaks to right where you are. It can be a bit overwhelming. At those times you have an “Ah Ha” moment. “There’s the answer to my question!” or, “Why didn’t I see this before?” It can happen in any setting professional or personal. For me it’s most arresting when I’m reading my Bible.Recently I found myself in such a place. I had been wrestling with concern, anxious…See More

Three "S's" of the Kingdom

Three “S’s” of the Kingdom Saved, Set Apart, SentEvery follower of Jesus has heard these three and their underlying truths expressed many times. Usually the emphasis is on the first and third, so we won’t dwell on them. Today I want to look at the often overlooked or under comprehended number two – “Set apart”What does it meant to be “Set apart”? It’s often seen as the link between “Saved” and “Sent”. Because I have been “Saved” I have been “Set apart” to be “Sent”. “Set apart is synonymous…See More

It Really Happens!

It Really Happens!“The Light shines in the darkness, the darkness does not overcome it…” [John 1:5] The effect can be quite dramatic. My wife and I experienced that in an encounter the other night.First, some background. We live in a residential community in which all the home owners are members of the home owners association, which is overseen by a management company and a board of directors elected from the residents. Because I served on the board of the association a number of years ago, I…See More

You Shine!

You Shine!While in prayer one morning last week for God’s ambassadors on the 7 Mountains of Culture, I found myself looking up at a huge mountain. What I saw was a beautiful, dark, winter night scene. The sky was black with few stars; the mountain covered with snow. As I gazed at the mountain I began to notice movement. Skiers were making graceful arcs on the sides of the slope. It was an image right out of a Winter Olympics telecast. More and more skiers appeared, each casting a glow on the…See More

ROI Kingdom Style

ROI Kingdom StyleHave you ever pondered this verse?”Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.” Ecclesiastes 11:1Commentators I have studied are, like with many issues of Biblical translation, uncertain of an exact meaning for the original Hebrew. This is not surprising because many ancient words do have a breadth of meanings. In this case the idea of “casting your bread on the waters” is interpreted variously as:1. Showing hospitality to strangers or caring for the…See More

Scaling New Heights in 2013

The Gift of Life

The Gift of LifeIt has often been said that you don’t really appreciate what you have until you lose it, or it’s been taken from you. As one who was closer to the ultimate of that experience than I realized I have come to have a new appreciation for that truth.I have titled this installment “The Gift of Life”, because I have a tremendous sense of gratitude to the Lord for His gift of life and what He has just done for me. I didn’t realize until after my recent pacemaker procedure how far my…See More

The Still small Voice

The Still small VoiceOne day as you are going about your normal routine a name, a face, of someone you have not had any contact with in a long time comes briefly to mind. You think nothing of it, but within 24 hours you receive a phone call, email from this very person or encounter them unexpectedly.As you are driving home from work a picture of a milk carton appears in your mind. Though you’ve had no communication with your spouse that milk is needed, you decide to stop and pick up a carton.…See More

A Journey or a Destination?

A Journey or a DestinationAbout a week ago, in the wee hours of the morning, I found myself awake and wrestling with a statement somebody made to me that day that if our plans don’t work out as we thought they would it can only mean that we missed God or did something wrong. I know that is not all there is. There can be many factors far beyond our control that can influence outcomes. But we still feel compelled to assign “blame”, why?The Lord broke through at this point and showed me it has to…See More
