Last Night’s Dream

I feel led to share a dream that I truly believed came from the Lord last night/early this morning (December 27th). I’m not one who normally does this nor am I another in a long conga line of self-professed “internet prophets.” These types of dreams from the Holy Spirit come my way maybe once a year

Reviewing 2024 and Moving Forward Boldly

A new year is at the door. I’m reviewing 2024, with eyes wide open and focusing on Jesus while prayerfully moving forward. Sometimes we stubbornly refuse to admit that as all of us age, there are a few things we are no longer physically able to do and yes, that’s the case with me as well. HOWEVER, w

WHAT IS REPENTANCE?

How many times have you and I confessed the same sin over and over again to the Lord, and each time you feel sorry and tell Him you won’t do it again? Yet deep inside, you doubt that you’ll follow through. We’ve all been there. Quite possibly, the problem is that despite our confessions, we haven’t

THANKFUL FOR WHAT’S BEEN…AND MOVING FORWARD

Over the last nine months since stepping in as interim Pastor at Hope Community Church in Putnam CT, I have periodically shared a number of wonderful things God has been doing there. Though small in numbers, this closely knit and loving congregation is believing the Lord for big things. We will be h

HAPPINESS VERSUS JOY

When you are going through difficulties, pain, or disappointment, do these experiences change your conduct or disposition? Are you one person when life is running smoothly, but a different one when you are visited by hardship and suffering? Although trouble has the power to take away our happiness,

Why is the Deity of Jesus Christ So Important?

In the minds of many people God is a distant, foreign, indescribable entity that exists out there somewhere. They claim to believe in God but pay little attention to Him and don’t want to be subject to Him. Their god is expected to help them when they need it but never make them feel convicted or gu

GOD PROMISES TO SUPPLY OUR EVERY NEED

“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:19). When we trust Jesus Christ as our Savior, we come under the awesome umbrella of His protection and care. He knows exactly what we need and will provide it at the best possible time. Even though we

Despise Not Small Beginnings

Back in the beginning of April I was asked to step in as interim pastor at Hope Community Church in Putnam, CT. At that time the church was running around 20 people. Since then God has blessed the congregation with increase in multiple ways. Our Lord began with a dozen and look at what happened. Gre

HIS NAME IS HOLY

Think about it: Absolutely no one ever uses the name of Buddha, Krishna, Vishnu or Muhammad as a curse word while angry, ranting, and using vile language. They wouldn’t even consider doing so. No, people only use the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Why is that? First of all, more than likely, they do

The Demonic Out of the Closet

There is a large segment of society that is as antithetical to a Christian worldview as you can get, and it’s all on parade this week. They’re no longer hiding it. We have not seen this kind of display out in the open until now. What is happening is demonic. When demons and evil spirits don’t hide a
