DANIEL’S ANOINTING FOR TIMING The priorities and standards in the life of Daniel offer great insight for this season. One of the most subtle aspects of his brilliant anointing is that of timing. Its significance is critical in the quest to “get it right” when so much is on the line during times of major…...
THE RESET AND REPENTANCE In a time of rapidly-evolving change, a need has arisen to be more discerning: a time to be alert to embrace the factors of significance tied to the new season. For those called by His Name, one of those key factors is repentance. Not to be confused with obsessing over trivial […]
The Restoration Shift From the time of the garden fall, the world has been undergoing a process of restoration. As the condition of man digressed, God chose a people, with whom He made a covenant, who would know Him and His ways, whose lives would advance the momentum of this process. What was originally established […]
EVIL REPORTS Grasshoppers. That was how the Hebrew spies saw themselves when encountering the reality of overwhelming spiritual opposition. Yet, it was a reality that had to be overcome in the face of far greater opportunity.

THE SOMETHING-MORE SEASON Over the course of the roughly half-century that I have walked with the Lord as an adult, I have periodically encountered times when I found myself in over my head; when after pulling out all the stops, I had hit a wall in terms of being able to count on the…...
Where Angels Fear Recently in prayer, the phrase “where angels fear to tread” popped into my mind. I knew there had been a movie. Many years prior to that, a book. The thought seemed to suggest a glimpse into the amassing chaos and turbulence of the times. Jesus, who saw outside the realm of time, […]
OUT OF THE BOX Life is a process. An unfolding. A journey of continual discovery. An adventure. A process of thought. From this process of thought, it becomes a process of action.
