We’re told in Proverbs 24:3-4 that knowledge fills the house, but it takes wisdom to build it. When we are given knowledge of something or someone, we should always ask how that knowledge can be used to build up and not to tear down. We should evaluate whether our words tend to build up or tear...

Have we really considered that just two or three people in unity can be more powerful than the largest megachurch, or even the most powerful government on earth? The Lord Himself said it in Matthew 18:20: “ For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Could...

As we have covered, God lit the fires on the altars of His dwelling places in the Old Testament, but He commanded the priests to keep the fires going. In the new covenant, all of God’s people are priests, so we all have the job to keep the fires burning that the Lord ignites. We may think that is...

Some remarkable moves of God have recently broken out with sports teams on college campuses and through movements such as Turning Point USA. We should expect sparks to ignite beyond college campuses to communities, businesses, and almost anywhere people gather. At this writing, these are still...

Jesus said in these times, “ Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will become cold. But the one who endures to the end is the one who will be saved” (see Matthew 24:12-13). We must recognize that the lawlessness is the enemy, not the authority people are rebelling against. We must...

On the other extreme, those who have been wounded by abusive authority will tend to see even the wisest, most gentle, and caring authority...

When the Bible says the Spirit moved upon the “formless void,” which could also be translated as “chaos,” this describes what the earth was in the beginning. But as the Spirit moved, He brought forth a beautiful new creation. This is what He does when He moves. His specialty is to turn chaos into...

In the Lord’s last recorded prayer before He was crucified, He asked the Father for one of the greatest benefits of all for His disciples: "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). To be sanctified in truth is more than just believing it; it is being changed by it. How is it...

In the previous Word for the Week , I began discussing a series of dreams I’ve had recently about the coming harvest. They were warnings about how near the harvest is and how unprepared the body of Christ is for it. Even so, we must now turn to the Lord, for Whom nothing is impossible, as we are...

We have taken some time to prepare for a deep dive into the books of Daniel and Revelation. I was compelled to do this because I know much of what we cover will shake some foundations. For this reason, we need to strengthen our foundations, which is always a good thing, as we are already...
