    Moses was overwhelmed by the immorality and religious practices from Egypt brought from Egypt. He had met God who gave him the Ten Commandments to implement within the new culture. He had a Shekinah Glory experience--God on earth. The Light of God radiated in his face.

    This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

    Jacob found himself in a tough spot and alone when the Angel of the Lord came and wrestled with him. Are we willing to put ourselves in a position for an encounter with God?

    n Jacob was a man who had always done things his way and he was the kind of person who wanted to be in charge and know how things were going to play out. n How many times do we get in that same place with God? We know what we are used to and we know what we expect and don’t want to see that ...read more

    A Glimpse Of Glory – The Transfiguration Series

    The transfiguration fits with the theme of what Jesus was trying to get over to his disciples, that he must die and they must be prepared. Jesus took three disciples and led them up the high mountain.

    Have you ever had what you would describe as a mountaintop spiritual experience? A time when you felt so close to God you just caught a glimpse of glory. If so, it may have been a very emotional experience. Our faith is not based on emotional experience, yet at the same time, when those times do ...read more

    I believe the best way to communicate is meeting face to face. Yet we try to substitute this most ancient and proven way with technology and social Media and have become terribly disconnected as a result.

    A face-to-face request is 34 times more successful than an email In research Mahdi Roghanizad of Western University and I conducted, recently published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, we have found that people tend to overestimate the power of their persuasiveness via text-based ...read more
