I mean, why share when you can have it -all- for yourself? Or just share some of this or that, you know, a bit with those you already love. Well... doesn't God do that in the end? Ahhh... nope. "When we were yet sinners Christ died for us" is but one scripture that answers this. I wrote and Resurrection Band recorded a song years ago I still stand by called "You Get What You Choose": Where have we been and where are we goin', And who really cares? A trip to the moon, a tryst

From A. W. Tozer's "The Root of the Righteous": " We need a baptism of clear seeing. We desperately need seers who can see through the mist – Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy." Truth straight up is that on occasion I suppose I see clearly but often not, very much as Paul wrote to the Corinthian church to which h

So many people ask for tab or chords over lyrics for Resurrection Band/REZ, Glenn Kaiser Band and/or my many solo projects -and I don't read or write music -or- tab as such. Yep, I'm mostly a "play by ear" dude. SO what to do? Here it is. First you can always check with our in-house label Grrr Records https://www.grrrrecords.com and even email or phone 'em to ask. On my 3 worship projects Grrr has -some- songbooks or downloads available with lyrics and chords and a bit more (

One of the most clear requirements of Jesus to us all is His chosen word: "repent". His disciples, albeit after His crucifixion and resurrection got it. Hear Peter from Luke's recording his statement in the Book of Acts (17.30) "... God is now declaring to people that all people everywhere should repent..." Whether professing Christ-follower, agnostic or atheist that term, the concept of repentance and plenty of it's association with condemnation, God's judgment, being ostrac

All of us have pursue d whatever in whatever times and seasons of our life, right? At the close of last year (2025) a verse (1 Tim. 6.11) leapt out at me that I've been meditating on ever since. Apostle Paul writes to his young charge/church leader Timothy (1 Tim. 6.10,11) warning him about going after wealth and the associated miseries of it, and then lists 6 essentials to go after. So often in scripture the Lord tells us to run from and then what to run to ! v10. For the

I've been going behind bars for decades. You know one of the major blessings of sharing Jesus, music and encouragement in lock-ups? You get to go home after the gig. Think on that. Home. The privilege of being obviously a white guy is in part, not having to carry papers as per the Gestapo days in 30's and 40's Germany where you could be arrested on the spot simply for not having the government-issued papers on you, for looking Jewish, like a gypsy, or other than a classic Ger

Well, that little phrase is often super-true unless we're talking about sin, habits, desires we decide we want to overcome. I've been a fan of the real football for most of my life (often called soccer in the U.S. and a few other places) so when many decades ago a pro player -actually more than one, said "It's easier to destroy than create" it rang true to me. Between studying and acquiring many books prior to the internet, watching games at all levels, attending pro matches

There is an old saying- "the door swings both ways". The problem of the church and I mean any church local or denominational or larger church on earth is that sometimes our doors are open and sometimes our doors are shut and locked. If Christ-followers shut down and close up how does anyone hear much less -see- in our attitude and example of life the very Good News Jesus commands us to verbally share with others? Further, the slamming-door attitude often leads to those who ha

How difficult is it to have conversations these days? I mean with family, neighbors, at times our closest friends due to a wide range of issues where we find we disagree, sometimes perhaps even for the first time in years. True? I think my readers will admit it's so. Unless you only and exclusively talk with people you already agree with you'll miss so much, even if you read, listen and watch forever. Learned experience from others in face-to-face mode is so important even vs

I've long felt sad, chuckled at and sometimes aggravated by "keyboard warriors" who post nothing but mocking emojis, memes, clips from news sources but rarely and often -never- have anything of intelligence to say when they see a posting in social media they disagree with or simply don't like. They often respond with nothing but what I've just mentioned here. Such is their supposed "contribution" to the public "good". I suppose it irks their own sense of comfort and confirmat

Who among us wants to be - dominated - by another? What Christ-follower wants to be "lorded over" by someone? What person in ANY group or society actually wants somebody else to fully control them?! Dominion (with several derivatives) is an old term not used much these days. The idea of domination is all about ultimate control of people, territory, wealth and on this earth has a decidedly political bent. The problem for a thinking, Bible-studying person or group is that follo

Oh yes, professing followers of Jesus seek glory: the glory of God to Himself!! If we merely seek our own glory, think and speak, sing and live out our own thoughts we do not bring that to Him nor inspire others to glorify Father/Son/Spirit. At one point Jesus questioned those coming to accuse Him, " How can you believe when you accept glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the one who alone is God?" (John 5.44) Personal glory-seeking is a waste when

Seek- also search after, explore, investigate, pursue, chase, hunt, inquire, look for, all of these are synonyms to the term. There are massive numbers of scriptures that speak to the concept, plenty that in context pointing to seeking God Himself. We often pursue pleasure, personal dreams, the praise and exultation of others and soooo many other things and people other than the Lord Himself. Further, there are things other than Himself He calls us to investigate, to do, new

It's not who shouts the longest, the loudest, the most intensely or with the deepest (on their part) personal conviction -it is what GOD HIMSELF says is right, sound, correct, indeed Truth itself. The problem now and always in a fallen world bent on self fulfillment is that there is the temptation to buy (often literally) into the lie/s or half-truths or myths created by the one Jesus called "the father of lies" and whatever it is we of "itching ears" (as Paul writes) WANT to

Over the past several years I have come to deeply love the word "intentional" and the core of it- "intent". It causes me to consider "What does God Himself intend for us? What is his intent toward me?" One of the earliest scriptures that I saw just before I came to saving faith in Jesus was in Jeremiah. The prophet states that God intends good and not harm, to give us a future and a hope- " For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and n

Paul, writing to Timothy in 2 Tim. 4 mentions this fight -and in context he's clearly speaking of faith, not human power as such. Then again we must recognize Rome would -not- allow opposition without ultimately crushing all who were deemed opposing it's power. How this has historically played out toward the poor, widows, orphans, migrants is easily and regularly charted by historians all through the years. Paul was seen as a trouble-maker and possibly an insurrectionist and
