CULTURE WAR
We shed a few tears while watching Monday’s inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States. He is only the second chief executive in our history to serve two non-consecutive terms. The first was Grover Cleveland who led the nation 1885-89 and and 1893-97. Upon leaving the White House the first…

As we begin a New Year, it’s tempting to zero in on the immense geo-political movements in our world like the coming inauguration of President Trump (for the second time), the recent resignation of Canadian president Justin Trudeau (and Canada jokingly becoming our 51st state), the fall of Syria, or the quagmire and suffering in…

Though Christmas is upon us, I’m still full of “Thanksgiving” for an American awakening taking place across our land. I know Kamala Harris received 74 million votes in the past election. The nation is divided. And most elections don’t portend that revival is taking place. But many thoughtful voices believe a cultural turning is happening…

Bill O’Reilly of the No Spin News is one of my go-to news commentators. He calls himself a simple man. He likes to articulate simple questions when trying to arrive at the truth. I’m a simple man too when seeking truth. For me, that means that the 2024 presidential race comes down to a very…

We celebrated Columbus Day this week and many businesses and government offices were closed for the holiday. Honoring Christopher Columbus takes me back to a jingle we learned in grade school: “In fourteen hundred and ninety two Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” The name Christopher means “Light-bearer” and Columbus paved the way for the light…

The positions of the two…

On September 12 I have surgery (a Nissen fundoplication) to help correct a nagging throat/vocal cord problem and will need some weeks to recover. (Thanks for your prayers.) On September 10 the much-anticipated presidential debate between Kamala Trump and Donald Trump took place in Philadelphia. I hoped you watched it–and prayed. This year’s election is…

Here’s the second article of a prophetic perspective–this time on the USA. As we approach the home stretch of the 2024 presidential election, it’s crucial that we choose wisely for the future of our nation. I will say much about this in coming weeks and encourage you to pray, act, and vote as if your…

I have kept a personal diary since 1972. A year ago I turned it into an autobiography called One Small Life: Revival Adventures From My Fifty Year Journal. While writing and arranging the book, it seemed like an interesting idea to make a “Life Calendar” of the most important events and decisions I’d made over a…

Last week I sent our Faith International University students a discipleship email on the importance of curiosity in our lives. Jesus called it the mentality of “asking, seeking, and knocking” (Matthew 7:7) in order to gain wisdom. When we stop learning, we stop living. When we cease to grow, we really begin to die. Here’s…
