Letter to A Reluctant Prophet
Dear Friend,
It is with a certain fearfulness that I respond to your inquiry, for I am not an authority on such things. I can certainly relate to your reluctance at being identified among the company of the prophets when so many false apostles, prophets, and teachers abound. I wish I could point you in a [...]
The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory
“For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory forever. Amen (Matthew 6:13b).”
This three-fold benediction concludes what is commonly referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. It is a fitting conclusion to what we call the Prayer of the Kingdom, or the Prayer of the Overcomer.
This confession is the summation of all that [...]
John: The Apostle of Testimony
If we look in the New Testament we see a natural order and progression of things. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John discuss the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. From here we move on to Acts, where we find the birth of the Church and the continuation of the Good News in the early saints. Then [...]

From Revelation to Revolution
“Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar…(Joel 2:17a).”
I must admit that I would much prefer reading what someone else has to say about this particular time in history as opposed to writing about it myself. Yet I am compelled to write, due in part to my [...]
Fear No Man
Many Christians are in bondage to the fear of man. In discussing this very real and widespread problem, let us acknowledge from the beginning that we cannot be God’s spokesperson and be afraid of people. We will find it difficult, if not impossible to faithfully give all the counsel of God when there is a [...]
A House of Prayer For All Nations
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and He said unto them, ‘It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer”; but you [...]
A Call to Prophetic Responsibility
PREFACE In the wake of any catastrophe people will often turn to the Church, and to the prophetic community in particular, to give some kind of context and perspective for the event. Unfortunately, along with a genuine expression of God’s heart during times of calamity, there will always be a relative number of “prophetic opportunists” [...]
The Way of the Cross
“But put ye on the Lord Jesus, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts (Romans 13:14).”
“There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end is death (Proverbs 16:25).”
“The way which leads to life is narrow, and few find it (Matthew 7:14).”
“I am the [...]
The Two-Fold Work of the Cross
“Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps” (I Peter 2:21).
If we were to ask a Christian, “Have you accepted the work of the Cross?” Many of them would say yes. If you ask them what the work of the Cross is, they would respond by saying that [...]
