TweetThe AP headline on the front page of Sunday’s paper read “Why Friday was Black and Blue”. In case you haven’t heard, the biggest shopping day of the year had some ugly elements to it: –a woman in Los Angeles was so intent on getting at a crate of Xbox video games that she pepper-sprayed [...]
TweetWell, I certainly didn’t expect the emotional responses to my previous two blogs. A number of you took exception to what I was saying, and that is fine, when the rebuttals are respectful. Some were unprintable, name-calling, and by-the-way, “anonymous” which I don’t post. But I wanted to respond to the general thrust of those [...]
Tweet“…make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.” 1 Thess 4:11-12 A lot of media time and [...]
TweetThe thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

TweetHuh? Actually, they really do go together. Here’s how. The Pilgrim trip was funded by a group of investors who were hoping to get a return on their money.

TweetI am going to drive across Florida today, heading for Naples, where I will be conducting a Truth Encounter conference. We just finished a week of filming for two Cross Examine episodes. One of them dealt with the radical transformation that comes to those who are snatched out of the kingdom of darkness and brought [...]
TweetAfter spending several days with the Sukups, we stayed over on Saturday to join Sheffield’s pancake breakfast, parade, and BBQ. If you’ve never experienced a small town celebration, then you are missing one of America’s sweet traditions. …and a long line of antique tractors! It isn’t fancy; there isn’t a lot of glitz; it doesn’t [...]
TweetI just spent three days in Iowa, visiting the Sukup family, their manufacturing plant and the good folks of Sheffield—population ~1,000. Yes, I ate some of the most delicious corn you can imagine. In fact, I was so fascinated by the cornfields that it gave me a chance to meet the local sheriff! (I’ll fill [...]
