Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
There was a time when we attended a megachurch on and off for several years. Since leaving this apostate place, we feel vindicated in the fact that this church has been publicly called out by other discerning eyes in recent years for having a well-known and prominent woman pastor, who is also a false teacher, […]

Matthew 23:27 “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.” No one likes to be called a hypocrite, but let’s be real for a moment, shall we? The plain fact of the […]

Our wedding day was on a spring morning, one that I will never forget. While waiting for the wedding march to begin, I happened to look out the church foyer window to see my soon-to-be husband rushing around outside in his white tux with his 90s-style tailcoats flailing behind him, frantically looking for something! Next […]

Bullseye! Just a few days ago, while driving home from the grocery store, out of nowhere, a rock came flying out the back of a work truck that was in front of me, and the impact left a small knick ‘smack dab in the middle’ of my car’s windshield! Even though I was flustered, I […]

“I see skies of blue and clouds of white,” and “I find it kind of funny; I find it kind of sad” are the song lyrics swirling around in my head for ‘inspiration’ as I write on this rainy, cool morning. As I am filming and singing these ‘polar opposite songs’ about the world to […]

Proverbs 14:1 “Every wise woman buildeth her house: But the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” It’s been said that “the devil is in the details,” and although decorating is a popular and beloved pastime, in my younger days, I didn’t realize that the devil could be in the details of decorating one’s home!
