The Founder's Backbone

Not too long ago I was struck by two incidents that measured how we as a culture are increasingly losing the mettle to stand for our convictions. The newly crowned Miss USA was asked if she believed that health care was a privilege or a right. She was also asked if she were a feminist. Her answers were contrary to the power of the new beast in our culture and within 24 hours she was for...

Christmas (3): The Promised Seed            

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman… Galatians 4:4 It was the “fullness of time”. It was as if all of the promises and prophecies, like alarm clocks, were set to go off at this moment. It was as if all the stars and heavenly host had been created and put into motion to come into perfect alignment at this perfect time. It was as i...

Engagement Project Training in Minnesota

I am in Minnesota for our first Engagement Project Training Conference since having to shut everything down last year. I am excited to get it going again and praying that the Lord will allow us to see the Body of Christ become the light and salt she was meant to be. We will be at the Radisson Road Baptist Church in Ham Lake, north of Minneapolis on Saturday, if you are nearby and can join us...

7 Threats in Our Times: (#7) The Attack Upon the Biblical Family

Of all the social institutions designed by God, I suppose none is under greater attack than the family. This shouldn’t surprise us, for destroying relationships is the ultimate scheme of Satan and it is here we find the most intimate. Indeed, it seems that the entirety of the world, the flesh and the enemy are today aligned against the biblical family. And the family is the heart of a cul...

Standing by While the Weak Are Raped

We have all heard of the unforgivable situation where people stand and watch someone being mugged or beaten to death. I wrote earlier about the brazen nature of crime in our country and how people simply stand by and watch it happen, afraid to intervene. This, of course, is what happens when we lose the vision and responsibility of being Noble Males and Virtuous Females. We care more about o...

New Species?

CBS posted an article entitled “10 Top Coolest New Species”. When I first read the headline, I thought it was proposing that evolution had given us ten new species. No. Every year the International Institute for Species Exploration delivers a list of species they have been newly discovered. It is a great site if you are interested. http://www.esf.edu/species/ This year incl...

Ask the Puffer Fish

For twenty years, scientists have been baffled by what you might call “crop circles” or “sand castles” on the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Japan’s Amami Oshima Island. The mystery is now solved. These intricate, strange yet beautiful designs were painstakingly made by a male puffer fish in hopes that his “castle” might attract a pretty lit...

Senate Outfoxed Playing Politics Versus Taking a Stand

The Senate finds itself boxed into a “no-win” corner. This is where Republicans almost always end up when they try to play the game of politics. Democrats do a much better job and always win at this game. “Playing politics” is what George Washington loathed. He hated political parties because he believed that one would become more interested in pursuing the benefit of...

Must See: I Can Only Imagine Film Release March 16

I rarely endorse things, but I wanted to make sure you were aware of the upcoming release of what I believe is a “must see” film, I Can Only Imagine. Odds are you’ve heard the song many times. It is the only Christian single to ever reach 2x platinum for over 2 million digital downloads. It took Bart Millard ten minutes to write and nothing was changed from those original w...

Engagement Project Training in Alaska

I am in Alaska for an Engagement Project Training Conference. We will be at the Change Point church in Anchorage. Would love to see you there. I have felt compelled to begin meeting with pastors as much as possible. Upon arriving, Jason Maust, chief pilot for Arctic Barnabas (one of my favorite ministries) flew me to Kenai. We had a great meeting with pastors and ministry leaders and then th...
