Follow the King, Part 9

Following the King of kings is the greatest adventure and most fulfilling life we can have on this earth. Likewise, visiting the house of the King of kings should be one of the most exciting things we ever do. Yet for far, too many going to His house, the church, can be one of the most boring...

Follow the King, Part 8

We are called to follow the Lamb wherever He goes, not just follow principles or doctrines. Knowing principles and sound biblical doctrine is important, but we’re called to follow a Person, not just teachings about Him. As we have been covering, to follow Him we must see Him. Our goal to follow Him...

Follow the King, Part 7

Elizabeth Browning once said, “Earth is crammed with heaven, and every bush is aflame with the fire of God, but only those who see take off their shoes. The rest just pick the berries.” As we begin to mature in Christ, we begin to see Him in all things. We see Him in creation because “all things...

Follow the King, Part 6

We could marvel at the creation forever. Its diversity in the multitudes of species of plants and animals are nearly incomprehensible. Still, there are multitudes that yet remain undiscovered. How they all interact with the earth and each other is a source of continuous discovery and amazement. We...

Follow the King, Part 5

To know the Lord’s voice, we must know Him. One of the crucial characteristics that He has is that He is “gentle and humble of heart” (see Matthew 11:29). If anyone ever had a right to be proud, it would be Him, but He is not. Jesus is more than the King of all; He is the Creator of all as verified...

Follow the King, Part 4

As we are seeking to mature in Christ, and to know His voice so well that we can quickly and instantly distinguish it, we will consider the statements in Scripture that define maturity in Him, such as Ephesians 4:13, “until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of...

Follow the King, Part 3

As we seek to know the Lord’s voice so well that we can distinguish it from any others, we must understand that He rarely speaks in an audible voice. However, just as the Apostle Paul prayed that “the eyes of your hearts may be opened” (see Ephesians 1:18), indicating that these eyes are not our...

Follow the King, Part 2

There are some people I am so close to that if I hear their voice, I know it is them even if I cannot see them. That is how well we should know the Lord’s voice. Even if we cannot now see Him with our eyes, we know His voice instantly because we have been with Him so much. I have read many books on...

Follow the King

As my friend Francis Frangipane likes to say, “We are called to follow Emmanuel, not a manual.” We must understand this truth if we are to stay on the path of life following Jesus, and not just principles about Him. Our Truth is a Person who has called us into a personal relationship with Himself...

American Exceptionalism

         Nearly two centuries after the term “American exceptionalism” was coined by the French nobleman, diplomat, and historian Alexis de Tocqueville, there is still much debate about what it means. De Tocqueville wrote the classic two-volume set, Democracy in America, after a long tour of America in the early 1800s. This work is still considered perhaps the most defining analysis of the American Republic ever written. Is this most famous description of America still accurate? Are we still exceptional?
