by Doug Stringer 9/10/12 Recently, I published an article titled Before The Lights Go Out and the Presence of God Departs the Nation (published by Charisma as “Is the Glory of God Departing from US?”), which paralleled our current cultural climate with the time in Israel’s history described in 1 Samuel 4. During this period […]
A Samuel Generation to Save America & Reconfirm God’s Covenant: Samuel was instrumental to the reconfirming of God’s covenant with Israel following Hophni and Phineas’ destructive leadership tenure. Samuel represented a new generation—a righteous priesthood to replace that which was profaned. He was an uncompromised, prophetic voice of courage used by God to call the […]
I had the pleasure of meeting and ministering with Stephan Tchividjian (eldest grandson of Billy Graham) when he spoke at the annual vision dinner for Hill Country Daily Bread near San Antonio, Texas a few years ago. He often says, “Rules without relationship leads to rebellion.” This explains what we see happening more and more […]
There is many a lesson we can learn from this nursery rhyme: “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again.” Psalm 20:7 reminds us not to put our trust in the power of man: “Some trust in chariots, and […]
“Expunge” means to erase or strike out, to eliminate completely, to annihilate. The Sin Offering referred to in the book of Leviticus, is the fourth type of offering described. It depicts Jesus as our expunger, purifier, and guilt-bearer. Jesus paid a debt He did not owe, because we owed a debt we could not pay. […]
A longtime friend, Bubba, used to be in a band called, “The Hope of Glory,” which was quite popular in the ’70s & ’80s. The lyrics in one of their songs still play in my head, and I believe still ask a question of great relevance today: “Which side are you on boys, which side […]
Ezekiel addresses the Princes, Pastors, Prophets, Politicians & People of the nation. If we are to see the Restoration of the nation, then it must start with us being honest with ourselves & with God. Are we willing to reconfirm our covenant commitments? Jeremiah says if we are, then we could Call upon Him & […]
I’m working on a new article to go with my series on The State of the Nation, “Before the Lights Go Out & the Presence of God departs”. Here are some notes I jotted down today for it. Hopefully I will add more on my blog the next few days on DougStringer.Com “It is without […]
Reflecting on this July 4th, I’m reminded of how much I have to be grateful for. Many will greet one another with a “Happy 4th of July”, will display flags, have BBQ’s, picnics, attend parties & of course watch the magnificent displays of fire works. I wonder though, just how many will actually comprehend the […]
There is a principle to be learned in this parable of Jesus in Matthew 7:24-27. “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that […]
