De ja vu All Over Again
This is the K Club in the beautiful Irish countryside about 20 miles from Dublin. I stayed there in 2012!
De ja vu All Over Again
I Samuel 26
This chapter is a de ja vu of chapter 24. Saul once again pursues David in the wilderness even after acknowledging in chapter 24 that he was foolish and wicked to kill David, God's future anointed king of Israel. Once again, God delivers Saul to David and David could have easily taken Saul's life. But he didn't. He says, “if God wants to take Saul's life, then He will.” But David is not going to do it apart from God directing him to do so.Read more

This is truly an amazing chapter. We meet an evil bonehead of a man; a most beautiful and intelligent woman; and David digresses from his noble actions in the last chapter when he spared Saul's life. Once again, women rule, men drool.Read more

Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands
I Samuel 24
When Saul returned from a battle with the Philistines, he was told where David was hiding in the mountainous region of Engedi. Saul took 3000 men to find him. On the way, Saul went into a cave by himself to relieve himself, v3. David and his men were hiding in the cave. Read more
Happy or Sad?
What is unique about this picture is that it is a Christian gathering of Malawi Chiefs and their assistants and associates. Historically, Chiefs have not been open to Christianity. Instead they were steeped in witchcraft and oppression. This gathering of 2000 people in 2016 represents a spiritual turnaround of the leadership in Malawi.
Are you happy or sad? Make up your mind!

I Samuel 22

We understand that there are parallel reasons why God is taking David through these trying times. God is preparing, pruning and shaping David's heart to make him a humble, God-fearing ruler of His people. Read more
God's Special Ops Training: Humility
This pic is from my first trip to Malawi, Africa in 2011 training Pastors and Christian leaders. That's me with the red tie. This was the first of what has become an annual PTRO conference in Lilongwe, Malawi coordinated by Pastor Charles Tsukuluza, the Pastor of Pastors in Malawi. Charles is above me wearing the glasses. PTRO stands for Paul, Timothy, reliable men and others, 2 Timothy 2.2.
