So, over the years, I’ve kept my views on Santa Claus mostly quiet with some veiled but sharp commentary. However, in the year of 2020 perfect vision, I’m going to be a bit more direct. 

As a Jew, I…

This just hit me ... 

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion 👉 at the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6  

I believe in this…

The only barrier to God is you. 

Sin has been dealt with. Put away forever. No longer a barrier to His presence. Hebrews 9:26-28 

Yet. 

Fear. Doubt. Shame. Self. Pride. Lies of man. Worth. Fear of criticism…

Jesus isn’t a magic genie where if you rub the lamp hard enough, you get to make a “wish” to be healed. 

Nope. Jesus has already paid for all sickness and disease ... all of it. Yes. 100%. It’s…

Folks. A prophetic word is like a seed. It’s a projection of what will be when that precious seed is nurtured. Therefore, any seed spoken over our lives that has the ability to impact the kingdom .... will be fully…

Thor had his hammer destroyed by Hela and taken from him forever - and this left Thor lost and confused. 

Yet. Once Thor realized that all the hammer did was focus the massive energy, power, and strength that…

Here’s a mind blower. 

Jesus (who personally made everything in the universe for Himself and through Himself) left everything He had made to strip off His own equivalence to God ... in order become human, one of us. 

…

The book of Job summarized. 

Satan, who had been roaming the earth looking to see who he can destroy, was summoned by God to heaven along with the angels.

Satan challenges the protection around Job. 

After much…

God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He’s always been good. No, I don’t believe God EVER put sickness on people - not even before the cross! 

• Was there judgment? Yes. 
• Was there death? Yes. 
• Was there sickness…

I’ve been thinking about this, and I’ve been wondering why people can’t believe in HIS forgiveness (even before you mess up). I think it is simple, really. 

• If we don’t know how to forgive, we assume God doesn’t either.

FAULTY BELIEFS: SHORT PEOPLE 

When I was a kid growing up back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, there was a popular song by Randy Newman called “Short People” … and of course the lyrics mention that short…

I would love to be in two places at the same time, that would be so very cool. How much easier would life be if we could be in two places at once! 

But, we simply can’t do it. 

FYI: any strand of universalism (all are saved) is predicated on the removal of all judgment. This is why most, if not all these universalists eventually end up becoming preterists (Jesus already came back in 70 ad). 

The only…

Does anyone else wish there was a book of the gospel written in bullet points? 

So. Here we go ...

Believer, 

• You died with Christ. Old you, gone! 
• You were raised from the dead with Christ. 
• You…

My friend Chris Barhorst got me thinking, I’m convinced that we are called to Hulk Smash evil and the works of darkness. 

In fact, I’m also convinced that NOT being angry at the works of evil IS a sin…

Well. Now I’ve heard it all and can officially vomit. 🤮 

Been told by respected grace teachers that there are no post cross disciples, that discipleship itself stopped at the cross. Well. If Jesus isn’t your role model, the…

It's funny how we awake to what is ALREADY true. So many people I know are realizing the powerful giftings that reside within them. 

It's like this .... 

My son sells Volvos, he sold me a brand new…

When you don’t see an answer. When you don’t hear an answer. Remember every time God answered in the past. 

The other night I heard in my sleep “be led by stones.” 

I was like, stones? They aren’t…

Gonna’ say it. I feel a rant. 

It is flat out wrong to publicly condemn famous teachers and pastors as false teachers. Folks. These are your brothers and sisters in Christ, and whether you like it or not -…

At dinner, we overheard a drunk college aged kid spinning wild stories to his friends about his drugs and run ins with the police. In that strange tirade he boldly tells his friends, "at the end of the day you…
