One of the most powerful things about the gift of tongues is that you can supernaturally pray for things you don’t know about. “Now in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with [a]groanings too deep for words.” Romans […]
Kids often get filled with the Holy Spirit at a special meeting or Kids Camp and never pray in tongues again. That’s not good. Why ask God for a gift and then only use it one time? The Lord gave us the gift of tongues for a reason. Praying in tongues is a powerful supernatural […]
The Holy Spirit gave me a word for 2025. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit falls like rain, but sometimes, you must dig another well. The water is always there in the dry season, but you can’t always see it. You have to dig for it. In Genesis Chapter 26, there is famine in Canaan, and Issac […]
This is my story about how I started writing Sunday School curriculum. It was 1979. I was 20 and recently accepted a Kids’ Pastor position at a new church in Port Huron and like many new kids’ pastors, I did not know what I was doing. I did not set out to write a new […]
Joel 2:28-29 (NIV) “And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

“Write the vision, and make a plan upon tables that he may run that readeth it…” – Habakkuk 2:2 When I first began to teach children, I had a difficult time finding material and curriculums. The materials that were available at that time were outdated and did not cover Pentecostal or Charismatic principles. Most curriculum companies […]
“In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” – Acts 2:17 This scripture makes it clear that it is God’s will that our children prophesy. This begs the question: Why […]
When we celebrate the 4th of July, we are celebrating not just a historical event, but a divine concept. As Americans, the concepts of free will and self-determination are part of our DNA, but freedom did not begin with the birth of the USA. Freedom is God’s idea!

It’s the month of June, a time of year when our culture asks everyone to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. This creates an awkward situation for Christians.
