Overcoming the effects of lockdown, etc.

Lots of people are experiencing bad effects from the lockdown that many have experienced due to government mandates in an attempt to control COVID-19.

Other governors appear to be ready to do the same soon.

Binding the Strongman

Commentaries could be written around the topics in this short passage from Matthew. There are lots of hot topics here. Things like, “a house divided against itself cannot stand,” which is probably more attributed to Abraham Lincoln than to Jesus.

KOG-MLM (Multi-Level Ministry)

My story in brief…

Christ first came into my life at the age of 5 during a series of evangelistic meetings in our tiny country Quaker church house in Gate, Oklahoma. Since then it has been a process of “Stumbling forward by grace, through faith in Christ.” I experienced a significant personal revival at the age of 19 and have been much in love with the Lord ever since…five decades-plus.

My passion is to enjoy the Lord by encouraging others to make progress in their lives…living life successfully. I do that primarily through my disciple-making efforts and through my writing.

I spent about 20 years in public ministry and at the age of 40 decided that I had allowed my passion for ministry to impede my prior duty to my family, so I stepped aside. I found a new career as a financial advisor and now make my living serving my financial planning clients.

I now consider myself to be a bi-vocational minister of the gospel.
