  • Has the Church Lost the Fear Of the Lord?

    Has the Church Lost the Fear Of the Lord?

    The present condition of the church leaves one to wonder if the lack of the fear of the Lord is contributing to her spiritually dead condition.

  • Fathers: Your Family Would Rather 'See a Sermon'

    Fathers: Your Family Would Rather 'See a Sermon'

    We are in desperate need of genuine leadership—broken, humble men—men who are not afraid to admit that they need God; men who are more worried about prayer than about status and recognition; men who petition God rather than position themselves. The state of the family today is disheartening. Men have largely forsaken their God-given role as spiritual leaders in their homes…that, no one can deny.

  • Warning: This Article Will Offend Many 'Christians'

    Warning: This Article Will Offend Many 'Christians'

    It's no surprise that the church, and our nation, desperately need to hear 'the voice of one crying in the wilderness' to awaken, convict, and restore. It was not so long ago that we were concerned about 'the fall of America.'

  • Speaking the Truth Will Cost You

    Speaking the Truth Will Cost You

    There is a cost to speaking the truth. This realization came nearly 10 years ago when I was asked to speak at the annual conference for the American Baptist, unaware that they were about to divide over ordaining those who embrace the homosexual lifestyle.

  • Did Jesus Say Anything About Homosexuality?

    Did Jesus Say Anything About Homosexuality?

    Those who strongly believe in the Bible and God's will regarding sexual behavior also strongly believe in unconditional love and forgiveness. To say that authentic Christians hate or fear those trapped in the homosexual lifestyle demonstrates a gross misunderstanding of the Christian faith.

    An Urgent Memorial Day Wake-up Call

    Over the last few decades, Americans have seen the destruction of the institution of marriage between a man and a woman, the removal of God's Word in several areas, and the aborting of millions of babies. Ironically, many of the men and women who died for our freedoms did not die for what we are becoming today. Many gave their lives in order that we would be 'one nation under God,' not above God.

  • Warning to America on National Day of Prayer

    Warning to America on National Day of Prayer

    With rapid fire changes within a culture saturated by political correctness and relativism, we are inclined to ask if there is any hope for America. If we continue down this slippery slope, there is little hope. Apart from a national spiritual awakening, it will be difficult to turn the Titanic around—the vessel has been struck; what's inside is spilling out.

  • Alcohol Consumption - Liberty Has Limits

    Alcohol Consumption - Liberty Has Limits

    True freedom in Christ allows for personal freedoms, but most freedoms are intended to work within a framework of social responsibility (cf. Galatians 5:13). Food and beverage, for example, are good, but we are warned against extremes such as gluttony and drunkenness. Most anyone who has lived with these abuses understands why.
