Dunamai(1) is one of the basic words for possessing power in the New Testament. Strong’s says it means “to be able or possible.” Thayer’s gives the following definitions: “to be able, have power, to be capable, strong and powerful.” The English words dynamite, dynamo, dynamic, etc., come from this Greek word. Jesus used a form of this word in Acts 1:8 when He said, “You will receive power [dunamis] after the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”

I don’t remember her real name, but it doesn’t matter because I just called her “Idiot.” She was stubborn, stupid, and strong. To this day, I can’t forgive her. Don’t judge me too severely—she was a horse.

We lived in Colorado at the time, and I don’t have anyone else to blame for this weeklong test of self-control, which you can already tell I passed with flying colors. I’m embarrassed to say that the delusional idea of renting horses for that year’s elk hunt was mine. Yes, I said “renting”

“The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of adversity.” Ezekiel 9:9

The out-of-control crime in many parts of our nation has become a great indicator of the spiritual decline in America. Some people seem to have become numb to just how bad it is, and others are simply in denial. The secular media actually called riots in Minnesota involving murder and burning buildings “mostly peaceful.” One hopes they have no “v

We’ve all heard the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Indeed. This is why God, at times, used actions in history to give prophetic pictures of future events. Theologians often call these pictures “types” and “shadows,” taken from the language of 1 Corinthians 10:11 and Colossians 2:16-17. One such picture is in Genesis 14, which pictures the communion meal and Christ’s victory at the cross.

My friend Clay Nash had a significant dream in May 2022. I feel it is even more significant now. The dream involved Clay, his dad (who is now in heaven), my brother, Tim, and me. The dream is about re-digging a well. Here is the dream:

“On the morning of May 9, 2022, I dreamed that I was working with my dad drilling a well. My dad was running the drilling rig, and I was supplying the drilling sand. I looked up and there stood Tim and Dutch Sheets.

There’s a reason leftists and progressives want to control the narrative. Language shapes culture. Words influence thinking, thinking forms beliefs, beliefs create actions, and shape the culture. Pretty simple.
