A prayer challenge for the new year

A prayer challenge for the new year

The ushering in of a New Year is a perfect time to  reflect on the last year with gratitude, and to commit to going deeper  with the Lord in the coming one.

A few months back I shared how the Lord prompted me to “up my game” in my prayer life by praying fifteen minutes a day in the Spirit, by  the clock   I must confess that at times it has felt tedious, even  rote.  Other times, I  lingered long after my timer went off because I  didn’t want to leave.

But  regardless of how it “feels,”  The discipline of praying in tongues  fifteen minutes a day has had a remarkable impact on my faith and also  in my ability to strategically pray for individuals and situations.

A curious quickening and the freedom in dying

A curious quickening and the freedom in dying

We know intellectually that life is fragile, and that any one of us  could leave this world at any time. But the reality has become much more  than theory recently. We have loved ones who should still be here. They  have been taken from us suddenly, and seemingly before their time.

Never  has this hit home more than the last couple of weeks.  To chat with a  friend at church and make plans for the following week, only the next  morning to hear that this bright light among us is now gone. It seems  impossible to reconcile the news as real.

Is there anything  redemptive that can come out of this culture of death that has thrown  its nets over the global community these last few years?

Some planted, others watered…but no one harvested

Some planted, others watered…but no one harvested

Pastor Jonathan Conrathe tells an amazing story of leading the head anesthesiologist  from the  World Health Organization to Christ on an airplane. This  anesthesiologist professed that he believed in God because of how  routinely during surgery the medical team would open up a patient to  discover that whatever malady they were operating for was already  healed. The head surgeon would say, “We will say nothing of this” and  they’d stitch him back up. Inevitably, the anesthesiologist said that  they discovered the patient was either a Christian or had a church  praying for him.

Following this remarkable conversation, the  anesthesiologist went back to his newspaper. Jonathan realized that  while the man believed in God, this didn’t mean that he necessarily was  regenerated. When he asked him if he had ever asked Christ to be Lord  and Savior, the man replied, “Well, no. No one ever told me that was the  way to get to God.”  The doctor then prayed with Jonathan to receive  Christ.

The story highlights how we must always be ready to give an appeal for Christ.

Being about the Father's business in a dark city

Being about the Father's business in a dark city

Jesus is coming back quickly and people are not ready. The thought  governs my awareness, and yet at times I feel paralyzed to do much about  it.

When an evangelist and his team of nine men and women from  the UK came to help stir us to action, it was a powerful shot in the  arm.  (This evangelist was Jonathan Conrathe with whom we’d worked three years ago in the city of Harrisburg; his incredible testimonies and sermons can be found at Mission 24.)

The  “us” consisted of over a dozen local churches of varying denominations,  about half of them Spanish.  There is something demonstrably powerful  about church leadership setting aside differences, denominations, and  personal styles, and pastors honoring and deferring to one another.  The Holy Spirit begins to move with swift and astonishing might...

The Spirit of Truth will guide you: avoiding the ditch on either side of the narrow way

The Spirit of Truth will guide you: avoiding the ditch on either side of the narrow way

“If what you thought to be true was not, would you want to know?”

A  friend posted this question on social media and the responses were  surprising. Instead of the universal “of course!” which I anticipated,  several individuals replied “it depends” or “not necessarily.” Openly,  several people admitted before their peers that, given a choice, they  would rather believe some lies than have to change their minds.

“The  truth shall set you free,” Christ said; yet how many would rather live  in bondage than bear the personal responsibility that freedom brings?

This is a time of exposure, of paradigm shifts,  of repentance, and of changing one’s mind. Yet a potential pitfall is  that in swerving to avoid a trap, we don’t careen into a ditch on the  other side.

Two specific concerns for the body of Christ in this time of shaking are that,

  1. We  would not be divided by non-foundational issues, but would commit to  give each other grace where there’s difference of opinion
  2. In  our rejection of the prevalent lies we realize have propped up much of  the culture, we would not embrace new lies simply because they’re novel  and non-mainstream

Trust the Experts? "Nobody loves you that much except Jesus!"

Trust the Experts? "Nobody loves you that much except Jesus!"

The nature of many paradigm shifts are that they are freeing but force us from our comfort zones. More than that,  when you start sincerely seeking the truth, you may anger the people  you’d least expect.

The last 20 months, governments across the  globe took unparalleled actions in the name of halting a virus. This has  caused people to question many things they once took for granted.  School board meetings that used to bring out four or five parents on a  good night are now packed; one local meeting in my county lasted nearly  six hours as parents waited to vocalize what had become all too  apparent: many adults who were supposedly in the business of educating  and nurturing children prioritized politics, money, and power high above  the welfare of children. Science findings were repeatedly presented  from peer-reviewed medical journals that did not back up the arbitrary  decisions of those in power. Tone-deaf to the voice of parents and  taxpayers in their district, some staff and board members were seen  rolling their eyes in meetings where high school students tearfully  testified of anxiety and depression caused by mandates that had no legal  backing.

I remember a friend of mine, the young wife of a pastor,  voicing to me her disbelief at how naive people – Christians especially  – could be in supposing the government and the media had their best  interest in mind. “Nobody loves you that much except Jesus!” she  exclaimed.

All the Attention because He's Worth It

All the Attention because He's Worth It

Imagine a wealthy relation leaves you an inheritance, the scope of  which is beyond your wildest imagination. Between the wealth and  property he’s bequeathed, you’ve become one of the richest people on the  planet. Delivered of your own debts and worries, his will stipulates  one thing: that you help individuals out of their destruction too, using  his funds. You follow his instructions, and in doing so, find a delight  in helping to liberate people who were also trapped. Tapping endlessly  into this bank account never leaves it overdrawn.

But along the  way, the postman delivers a gadget to your home. It has buttons and  lights up. While it adds little value to your life other than amusing  you, you find yourself drawn to it more and more. At times, you even  find it leaves you irritable. But mesmerized, you can’t tear yourself  away from this new toy.

The executor of the will follows up and  asks how you’re enjoying having access to such a lavish inheritance to  right so many wrongs for people. Sheepishly, you admit that you’ve been  so distracted playing with a toy in your living room, you’ve not done  much with the inheritance. The executor is silent in disbelief. How  could anyone in their right mind waste both their life and this coveted  inheritance by forfeiting their waking hours playing with a goofy toy?

Is this not a picture of what we do with Christ?

Living with expectation in a land of scoffers

Living with expectation in a land of scoffers

The kingdom of heaven belongs to children, Christ said. Unless we become like children, He warned, we are going to miss it.

How  exciting to realize that simple faith lights up the heart of our Lord,  and that God rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).  Elizabeth Barrett Browning rightly stated that “God’s gifts put man’s  best dreams to shame.”

Three people who lived among scoffers

There  are scores of scriptural examples of individuals who became heroes  through their faith in and devotion to Jehovah, shining like stars among  their mainstream peers. Three come to mind especially...

How to avoid becoming a scoffer in these last days

The dangerous thing about scoffers and mockers is that they hang out in the church and call themselves pastors and  teachers and prophets; some are bloggers and professors and Christian  music artists.

Peter warns the church about mockers so that

1. We recognize them

2. We don’t hang out with them

3. We don’t ourselves become scoffers, fools and ultimately deceived.

What group of individuals is an antithesis to scoffers?

Here are some hints:

But  Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming  to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matt.  19:14)

“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become  like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”  (Matt. 18:3)

“In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.” (1 Cor. 14:20)

What attributes of children make it easy for them to enter the kingdom of heaven?

Revival in the Red Rose City

Revival in the Red Rose City

What happens when your best laid plans for God get waylaid?  Prepare for Him to do beyond what you could ask or imagine!

Leaders of a network of churches attempted to find connections in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania, to hold an evangelistic outreach with Jonathan Conrathe and his team from the UK, just as we did two years ago in the nearby city of Harrisburg.

God  supernaturally connected these leaders to other local pastors. As more  ministries began hearing of the plans, they eagerly stepped forward to  join in the details. One veteran city pastor remarked that he had never  before worked with a group of bishops and pastors in which there was  such a spirit of unity and love, and such an eagerness to serve one  another across denominational and ethnic boundaries.

But six weeks ago, citing covid, our British evangelist friends were denied visas by the U.S. government.

As  the pastors and leaders pondered what to do with this disappointing  news, God said to them, “You were planning for an event but I, the Lord  of the Church, have bigger plans. I am calling my people to work  together as one body, one flock. Up until this point you’ve been  separated into your individual domains. Now I am calling you to let me  be Lord over the Church and I am calling you to let the boundaries serve  me instead of you serving the boundaries. I am preparing a beautiful  bride who will be able to welcome in the Harvest that I am bringing.”

"Come out of her, My people!"

"Come out of her, My people!"

The world is greatly distressed in this hour; but it is only the calm before the storm.

I  sense the Lord is giving a strong message to His church right now. The  word is this: “Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in  her sins or contract any of her plagues (Rev. 18:4, Berean Study  Bible).”

What exactly does that mean?

"Judgment will again be righteous"

Episodes with music are only available on Spotify.

Jonathan Swift once likened laws to cobwebs, which catch small insects  but are torn apart by larger and more deadlier creatures, which thereby  escape them. While many Americans are jaded right now concerning what happened in 2020 and all the corruption in high places, the Lord is speaking encouragement - and He is as good as His word.

The Classroom Pulpit: how the religion of humanism undermined a generation

The Classroom Pulpit: how the religion of humanism undermined a generation

John Dewey, author of the Humanist Manifesto (1933), along with his disciples, understood that a generation drifting further away from God’s standards of righteousness would be unfit for the liberty of self-government, and that the heavy yoke of socialism and the reduction of reason and intellect went hand in hand.

A supernatural church or just another service club?

A supernatural church or just another service club?

The world, the secular arena apart from Jesus Christ, is incapable of solving problems concerning the human condition. At best, all that the secular world can do is rearrange problems so that they look different. Are we the church moving in the supernatural, or are we simply engaged in the same humanist philosophy of a civic organization?
