“That day Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.” (Luke 23:12, NIV84) t is sobering to think who will become friends when Christ is rejected. Sadly, that’s the reality we read about in the account of the crucifixion story. “Herod and Pilate became friends—before this they had been enemies.” Their rejection of Christ forged their friendship. It…
had an Australian Shepherd named Levi. He was, in my estimation, the greatest cowdog of all time. I used to call him “Levi McFly, one of the McFly brothers.” (Even though his last name wasn’t McFly and I don’t know if he even had any brothers!) We live on a small ranch in Old Miakka, Florida, and Levi was my…
oubt doesn’t write you out or write you off. John the Baptist was in prison awaiting his own execution. He was in great turmoil and doubts filled his mind as he saw the imminent end of his brief life. So much so, he sent his disciples to ask Jesus if He really was the One, The Messiah, or “should he…
was leading a group of about 30 workcampers into Haiti. But I had failed to meet all my self-imposed spiritual criteria, and I felt the enemy crashing in on me. Before each workcamp, I had a checklist of spiritual preparations. My checklist included Godly things, like: fasting, prayer, and waiting on God in worship to gain His mind. And yet…
We just returned from Haiti where we were there to assist in recording and hosting a Pastor’s Conference. There were approximately 160 pastors there from all over the country of Haiti.

We were so militant in our approach and were praying so loud, that I think we could be heard in the next village. Right in the middle of our praying, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and…
“If we walk in the light as He is in the light…” 1 Jn 1:7 Often God’s Light only shines out far enough to show you the next step of obedience. Several years ago the Holy Spirit said, “Get to Haiti, Now!” With that word, a handful of men flew into Haiti the next day. On the porch (a second…
Recently, at a service at The Barn, God gave us an illustration on the importance of unity in the Body of Christ. Simply put, if we are not in unity – with God and with each other – we fall.
uring worship last Sunday, I saw this image in my spirit: Two guys were climbing up the side of a mountain, and as the lower guy was climbing, rocks and debris from the guy above him were being kicked in his face. And with that visual, the story of Jonathan and his armor bearer came clearly into view. I share…
The guy was asleep! The car was running, the light was green, the traffic was backing up, but the guy was asleep at the wheel. e were leaving for our summer vacation and, just before getting out of Sarasota, we were stopped at a red light. I looked over to my left and the guy in the car next to…
