The year 2020 started with a plethora of messages about checking your spiritual vision. New Year’s Resolutions full of hope for the year rang out across the world. Yet, in Wuhan, China, a city unknown to many, a destructive, deadly pandemic virus was exploding. No one knew how rapidly it was growing or how it…
Revival is the “new normal” we need. The overwhelming revelation of the 2020 pandemic is the world’s undeniable vulnerability to the unknown. Anxiety-riddled questions fill the media and minds of citizens; to open or not open? Physical health or financial increase? To wait or to move? I hear many people say we can’t go back…
I have heard these words in my spirit: “Don’t get distracted.” Could the distraction be, returning to the old routines that were non-productive in reaching the lost?

Like a car wreck on the expressway where everyone begins to slow down to get a glimpse of the tragedy that has happened, our nation is experiencing a slowdown in the midst of tragedy right now. For the last four weeks, my wife, Marsha, and I have known what it feels like to be in…
Three weeks ago, my wife, Marsha, met me at the airport with a long-awaited kiss and the biggest hug as I returned home after traveling internationally. I did not know at that time I was in the beginning stages of pneumonia, the flu and COVID-19, nor that I was infecting the person I love most.…
“Can you wait a minute?” Most Americans can’t stand to hear that phrase. We want things fast. In fact, we want things now. (And if we can’t get it for free, we want a bargain; that, however, is an article for another day.) Thankfully, we are on the edge of a 5G world. Under normal circumstances,…
