On the wall of my study, I have a letter from one legendary leader who had a major influence on my life, Chuck Colson. It hangs above an autographed picture from President Ronald Reagan. Colson was a champion in evangelical Christianity, founder of Prison Fellowship and former White House hatchet man before he converted to Christ. Colson was a "watchman on the wall" who exhorted me to follow in his steps. He said, "No civilization has suffered the loss of two successive generations and survived. We've already lost one." I'm passionate to communicate "present truth" (2 Pet. 1:12b, NKJV) that ..read more

Let this truth of God's Word settle in your heart. As I said before, we each have battles to fight at different times in our lives. Sometimes it's a financial battle; it can be a family or relationship struggle ..read more

In a recent bewildering article, Fox News, which often prides itself on offering to the right side of the political spectrum faith-based content, has decided to publish an article extolling the virtues that adulterers hold fast to (just not marriage). Fox News did a deep dive into the world of Ashley Madison, a website for married people to cheat on their spouses, and examined a recent survey conducted by the online adultery service whose slogan is "Life is short. Have an affair." Perhaps in an attempt to mitigate the image of those who cheat either once or perpetually in their marriage, the ..read more

If you came into contact with someone with a face that looked like a demon and eyes that were completely black as night, what would you do? Encounters of this nature are popping up on social media at the exact same time that the mainstream media is trying really hard to convince all of us that anyone that is seeing black-eyed demon faces has a disorder. In fact, if you type "demon face" into Google News, you will literally get hundreds of articles about a disorder known as prosopometamorphopsia. But this is a very, very rare disorder. At this point, fewer than 100 cases of PMO have ever been ..read more

And why was this acrobat, a former male stripper, performing at a church conference? T ..read more
