CULTURE WAR
It’s been quite a week celebrating Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples, and Middle East Peace including the release of the remaining Israeli hostages from captivity. Also, Erika Kirk received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on behalf of her deceased husband, and last weekend thousands of believers “broke bread” on a mile-long “Communion Table”…

I took five hours Sunday, September 21, to watch live Charlie Kirk’s Memorial Service before 90,000 people in Glendale, Arizona. It was a moving experience–worth every minute. It may be the greatest funeral ever witnessed in America because of technology which allowed us to “live” every moment of its grandeur. The passing of other significant…

I’ve worked alongside young people all my life. Like many others, I’ve also prayed for a revival among youth in the 21st century that dwarfs all others in times past (Student Volunteer Movement, the Jesus Revolution etc.). Those prayers are being answered. Big thanks to the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN). If you want positive news, CBN is…

Our church commissioned an outreach team yesterday of excited Gen Zers (those born 1997 to 2012). I was privileged to participate in summer missions…

The world’s best-selling book–the Bible–explains God’s mission to save the world while giving an overview of the first four thousand years of human history. It describes in detail the war between good and evil (God, Satan, Israel, Jesus, and the Church). That’s one reason I accepted “The Book” as my life compass many years ago.…

For the past 6,000 years, since the sin of Adam and Eve, we have lived in a fallen world. I told a worship leader recently she would be wise to never blame God for bad stuff that happens in life. Blame it on a fallen world and always trust in the perfectly good character of…

We live in a time of words–in person, print, on radio and television, and throughout the Internet. I receive about 50 promotional emails, respond to scores of personal inquiries, participate in 10-20 phone conversations , and probably send out 30 texts every day. That’s besides all the personal conversations, scanning and watching the news/TV, and wondering…

There is so much to pray and talk about these final weeks of spring. The most dangerous hotspot is the Israel–Iran War where the State of Israel is committed to denuding the terrorist regime of nuclear weapons. I will share my perspective next week as more unfolds. Today let’s unpack the “No Kings” rallies in…
