We must not prop up a ministry or person, but look at each one as Father does, as a child of God. Some children can build amazing Lego castles, and some throw Lego’s all over the room and make a real mess, but a father loves the child with castle or mess. He loves us through it all, and wants us to love one another, be honest about the messes, but prayerfully walk with each other through them. Read more

It should be noted that most Christian leaders – as imperfect people – will probably, at some point, exhibit some of the characteristics of abusive leadership that we have noted in previous Letters. Therefore, the godly leader, knowing that he is not above this tendency, should consciously and deliberately take the following steps to avoid being abusive at all: 1. Prayer. It is hard to know our own hearts and motives. We must remain continually in prayer, asking God to... Read more

La Luz Radiante de La SantidadPor Francis Frangipane(English) Cuando existe verdadera santidad en la vida de uncristiano, ella produce a su alrededor una luminosidady un resplandor. Los bebés y los niños pequeños,cuyos espíritus son todavía puros eincontaminados, y que por lo tanto están más cercade la presencia real de Dios, también emanan estaluz. Su luz es visible por cuanto sus corazones sontransparentes y veraces. Para nosotros, el camino ala luz radiante de la santidad es esta misma sendade transparencia y... Read more

When true holiness exists in a Christian’s life, it produces a luminosity, a glow around that individual. Infants and little children, because their spirits are yet pure and undefiled and because they are so close to the actual presence of God, emanate this light as well. Their light is visible because their hearts are transparent and truthful. For us, the way to the bright lamp of holiness is this same way of transparency and truth. It is the way to... Read more

The Church is at a major crossroads in her multi- millennial sojourn through time upon this earth. She has some very big decisions to make. But most of us are not aware of the change that is in the Wind. For church, as we know it, is over. The church, (the one being built by Jesus, not this monstrosity of a system we incorrectly call the Church), will move on with the gentle sound of His voice. The Church He... Read more

Everyone loves a shining star when they’re on the top, but pay no mind to them when they start to drop. There is One that comes and picks up the fallen. When they rise in Him they no longer desire praises of men, but in pleasing God. As He brings favor upon them and opens doors for them, they will shine brightly for His glory. The Bright Morning Star becomes the only brilliance they need for the road ahead. Read more

A few years ago I wrote an article titled “A Few Degrees Off” for my “Pondering the Journey” series. The gist of it was how far off base we can become when we start our life-journey with a simple truth that is practiced or presented in a way that sets the compass just a little off. So it was with my journey. I got “saved” and was immediately instructed to begin memorizing scriptures. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, how... Read more

When we see humanity as evil, we look for systems and governments to protect us, and can miss faith and God completely. We do not need outward intervention, we need inward revolution. We need to know that God has breathed life into us, and then we take that life and become revival for them. Good Government will not change the world, but relying on a good God brings change within and transformation abounding outward. Read more

Preparation for the messenger of God originates in the fact that Father always has great intentions for you. The Lord decided and wrote down in advance what your ministry for Him would be. God set you apart and called you by His grace. All your days were ordained and written in His book before one of them came to be. Your life hidden in Christ is becoming revealed, as you open your life and heart to His instructions. Read more
