School and Shooting shouldn’t be two words that we would ever associate with one another. Unfortunately it’s become all too common of a headline. Today our nation is once again morning the loss of our precious children. This time, 18 kindergarteners . My heart is saddened, my spirit grieved. These things should not be. As[…]
This is a repost of a blog I wrote in 2008… I revisit it because 4 years later the word is just a relevant. The Prodigal Nation of America is allowing itself to become subject to the spirit of Pharaoh. Pharaoh enslaved the people during a great famine in exchange for basic provision. As dire[…]
Next week we start production on a brand new broadcast with Steve Hill and myself that will put a spotlight on the “Frontlines” of Christianity. We are living in perilous times… There is such unrest in the Middle East, our support of Israel has been put into question, Radical agendas are threatening to undermine our[…]
You and I are facing one of the most important elections of our lifetime.

I’ve been getting into a lot of fights lately; not with my wife, not with friends or family, not with co-workers or church members, and not with that stranger that nearly sideswiped me out on the highway (though I would have loved to have a ‘brief’ conversation with him). The person I’ve been fighting with[…]
There is an epidemic sweeping through our nation right now. It is a deep-seated irrational fear of wait for it…CHRISTIANS. I know it’s hard to believe but it must be true (that Cable News Channel told me so). Apparently there are individuals who are inexplicably afraid of people like me and that little old lady[…]
If ever there was ever a man in need of revival, it was David. How far this once young, humble worshiper had fallen. One bad decision to yield to lust had set off a chain of events that took him from a man of consecration to a man of covetousness, from adoration to adultery, devotion[…]
Sheer awe was the feeling I had as I overlooked the Yosemite Valley from atop Yosemite Falls. That feeling was the payoff for a long, and I do mean long, hike. Hours earlier I had almost given up as I looked up at those ominous zig-zagging trails carved into the face of the granite wall. […]
