We’ve been looking for the gifts of Jesus Christ to be restored, but the whole purpose of their restoration is so that the church can come to restoration. It’s not the movement of the prophet that’s next. It’s not the apostle that’s next. It’s the church. It’s the saints’ movement. – Pastor Daniel H. Wermuth II This is not my weekly podcast. This is a vlog that we’re doing, because I’m chasing a few themes with prophecy.[1] There’s a theory... Read more
From time to time, I like to post something from one of my children, like this poem of thankfulness. They are all brilliant. They all love God. They all blend their love for God and others with brilliance, a touch of sarcastic humor, and a biting wit. These are all some great traits of Christians who love to engage other people, and keep them on their toes. I wish I could take all the credit for their extraordinariness . .... Read more
Jared, you just prayed for us. Everyone reach your hand in this direction right now. In the name of the Jesus, Lord God; everything he prayed for everyone else, let it happen in his life. – Pastor Chuck Lawrence I’m going to take a turn and share some prophetic words from Pastor Chuck at Christ Temple Church, and myself.[1] Anything can be prophetic, even a sermon on Sunday morning if it’s geared for a specific people in a specific time...

When it comes to the discussion about the reliability of the Scriptures, there are experts who are at the leading edge of apologetic debates. Ratio Christi is a campus apologetics alliance defending truth and Christianity at the university. Bob Clapper is the Regional Supervisor for Ratio Christi over Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. He recently visited Northwestern Michigan College with an Ashkenazi Scroll and gave a presentation on the reliability of Scripture (03.20.19). What are the major questions that skeptics... Read more
I’ve been stringing pearls with recent themes on prayer in the podcasts.[1] And we were challenged today as our pastor preached on a parallel track. So we’re going to offer another teaching that came from one of Crystal’s messages.[2] She hones-in on some specific Biblical passages that give us promises on prayer that we can hold on to. This is like the ancient idea of stringing pearls where we bring together various Scriptures for a richer meaning. Don’t Doubt His... Read more
This is the last in a series of posts in which I organized my Google+ (G+) activities into themes and collections. There is something to be said for Christians in the marketplace and public square. However, I am definitely not the most articulate one to say it. It is true that we all have our political leanings. You can easily see my viewpoint in these moments when I responded to something greater going on outside of my home or the... Read more
I went down to the tabernacle. There I sat on the stairs of the entrance to the tabernacle that overlooks a huge valley, a high desert valley. As I watched the sun come up, I began to pray. I asked God why I hadn’t seen the things that I had desired to see. This sermon is from deep in the archives, about 2008.[1] I’m responding to last week. One of the things we need to keep in mind when it... Read more
The internet has come along way from the time the general populace could basically only send emails on black screens with green words. I’m sure there were more uses to it for those who were more advanced. Now we use the internet for everything, following anything that is trending, and utilizing it for any type of branding. I continue to operate in the realms of ministry, online teaching, and marriage and family. An online presence is essential in these fields,... Read more
The million dollar question when it comes to healing is “Why not me?” or “Why her? Why not him?” Those are things that we will not necessarily understand here. – Crystal Ingle I hope you enjoyed Crystal’s teaching on divine healing, and the personal testimony that she shared.[1] We’re going to continue as she discusses the million dollar question, “Why not me?” Crystal is teaching on the Pentecostal Church of God doctrine of divine healing.[2] For more of her teaching,...

The focus of this collection is on the people of God and Christian living. Discipleship seems to be trending again in the last 40 years especially. We have rediscovered the spiritual disciplines or exercises in the Protestant Church. Our Catholic neighbors never lost track of them. We have seen the rise of spiritual formation as a legitimate field of study and practice. We have also seen glimpses of what could be called community development. The focus is on developing the...
