‘If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.’ This is a lyric of a popular worship song that came out a few years back. It stretches the mind and the heart of a believing Christian on just how amazing God’s grace really is. We have the consolment of the Holy Spirit to guide us inContinue reading “God’s Grace On This Side of the Rapture”

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Does anybody really care? I do. For those of us who are old enough to know, that was a rift from a Chicago song from the 70’s. Knowing the times and seasons is what we watchers are all about; well, that and sharing our faith in Jesus with as many who will listen and receive. Continue reading “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”
Running Out of Normal
The title of this blog, although prompted by the Lord, also accompanies inspiration from some recent vlogs of certain watchers who are also feeling a similar way as it relates to the decline of normalcy in these last days. To begin, let’s look at what Jesus said the world would look like just before HisContinue reading “Running Out of Normal”
Letters from the Front
I was thinking about the soldiers of yesteryear who fought on foreign battlefields for their country, and yet who also longed for home and its many blessings. They were fighting to protect their homeland and yet, they longed to be home, enjoying the many blessings associated with it. While this could relate to just aboutContinue reading “Letters from the Front”
High-Watch Blues
My friend Tom Cote from Watchman River You Tube Channel mentioned the ‘high watch blues’ a few times in some of his recent vlogs. Not every watcher has the spiritual or emotional capacity to endure a high watch season and come out the other side, still ‘on this side’ as it were. If you canContinue reading “High-Watch Blues”

I have been interiming as the Lead Pastor of a small country church in Central Missouri for the past 18 months. It has been an honor to serve these people of faith. They are old school Pentecostals who have worked very hard their entire lives and are longing for the return of the Lord. SomeContinue reading “It Shall Be Well”
The Art of Self Forgiveness & Self-Forgetfulness
I was reading in my devotional by Sara Young entitled Jesus Always – Embracing Joy in His Presence Sister Young writes her devos as if Jesus is the person who is talking. Some excepts of this particular devo is as follows: “…you need to learn the art of self-forgetfulness. You were not designed to stayContinue reading “The Art of Self Forgiveness & Self-Forgetfulness”
The Lord’s Day
I was thinking about the phrase, ‘the Lord’s Day,’ in correlation to the Return of Christ. The Lord’s Day should not be confused with ‘the Day of the Lord.’ The Lords’s Day is Sunday, the Day of the Lord is the seven-year tribulation, which can include the Rapture on the front side and the MillennialContinue reading “The Lord’s Day”
The Long Arm of the Lord
I have been thinking a lot about the injustice in our world. It seems like people in high places are getting away with murder, literally. I look around and see the injustice of the masses as the more conservative among us are persecuted or worse, billed for it. I am not just talking about Christians,Continue reading “The Long Arm of the Lord”
Something Big This Spring?!
Spring is in the air; and it’s always a wonderful time of year, especially in Paris (at least that’s what I hear). There’s something about the winter season passing, the snow melting, and the flowers blooming that resets the emotion of folks who are still struggling with a cold winter funk. It’s good to enjoyContinue reading “Something Big This Spring?!”
