by Lisa Stringer Doug is a man who will always direct you to truth. He often says statements that cause me to process what I just heard and how it applies to situations in my life. He is constantly reminding us to filter what we hear and believe through the word of God. One of […]
Exposure. Implosions. Explosion. During the last few weeks of 2022 and coming into the new year, I heard those three words repeatedly in my spirit as I pushed through a season of travail over the complicity of sin in our nation, even by leaders in the Church. I believe the Lord was telling me: 1. […]
How our posture and perspective can position us for breakthrough! This time of year, many of us reflect on our lives, taking an honest assessment of the ways we have overcome challenges and examining our shortcomings. But reflecting on the past without perspective often leaves us with regrets. We all have regrets. I know I […]
The Light of the World has come! His coming is what we celebrate at Christmas. From the very start, His light drew people who hungered for truth from far and wide. Consider the magi, or wisemen. Many of us know the song, “We Three Kings,” written by John Henry Hopkins Jr in 1857 for a Christmas […]
“Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness. And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

With their backs against the wall, they were willing to make a covenant […]
Even in old age, they will still produce fruit… Sarah bore Isaac when she was 90 years old! Moses led the Israelites out of bondage when he was 80. God cared for them, carried them, and used them! If you are nearing or are already in your golden years, don’t despair. You have much to […]
In late October of 2019, I had a vivid dream that stirred my spirit. It was a bit disturbing and unsettling. In the dream, I was invited to do some sort of invocation before the men and women of Congress. I remember thinking to myself, “I don’t know if I want to share what is […]
We can only press on and do what God calls us to do after we have pressed in to the presence of God. The late revivalist Leonard Ravenhill was like a spiritual grandfather to me. One thing he always said to me was, “Press on, Doug. Keep pressing on.” Eventually I realized that I could […]
I originally wrote and published this article prior to Purim 2021. I believe it is a message that resonates even more today. Purim 2022 began at sunset, March 16, and ended at sundown on Thursday, March 17. Synagogues and homes around the world will have read the entire book of Esther for Purim to celebrate […]
