Is Another Jesus Revolution Possible? (Part I)
Drug addiction, sexual addiction, and rebellion against authority are still with us. But here's the good news: Jesus has neither left us nor forsaken us.
Unanswered Prayer
All too often, we want the "desires of our heart," but we are not delighting ourselves in the Lord — and we come up empty every time.
Our Daily Bread
God has created a world where each and every creature has provision made for their needs. If I truly love God, it is my desire to meet with Him every morning.
Goodbye, Jim
While Dr. Dobson's voice will be deeply missed, I know he has gone to his heavenly reward and heard the words we all yearn to hear: "Well done, good and faithful servant."
Captain Obvious
There are occasions when Christians need to point out the "obvious" to friends and acquaintances regarding our culture's inability to find lasting happiness.
Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide
Are you tired of running? I was exhausted from running and hiding. But instead of a rebuke, I found a loving, compassionate Heavenly Father.

The United States is no exception when it comes to attacks on houses of worship. Our churches are derided as hateful and targeted by secularists who think they're doing "good."

The doctors referred to my recovery in Vietnam as "miraculous." But, as a proud Marine, I took credit for my progress. I wasn't looking for God, but He was looking for me.
Tribalism in the Church
It has to sadden both the Father and the Son to see so many different factions, but I believe Jesus gives us our answer to finding the right tribe.
The Wounds We Carry
In 1986, I had assumed the Lord wanted to do something in Vietnam. But he had other plans, like wanting me to experience His healing before I ever set foot back in that country.
Gold Mine
The Sunday morning "flakes" and "nuggets" will not sustain us for the week, nor are they intended to. They are to create a desire in our hearts to mine the Word of God for the treasures it contains.
'This Is Not My Home': Part II
We shouldn't just hunker down and hold on until Jesus comes or we die, whichever comes first. Someone once said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
RIP, Hulk Hogan — Icon, Patriot, Christian
When Terry Bollea put on his wrestling yellow and red, he became a hero of sorts to many Americans. When he donned the baptismal white, he gave his life to the real Hero.
Triggered
Being "affected by an emotional trigger" should be happening to all of us who profess Jesus as Lord and Savior, those who "are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession."
'This Is Not My Home': Part I
The media distorted the Vietnam War, contradicting what I had just experienced and making me feel like America was not my home anymore. Now, our nation is going through another political upheaval.
Sanctification
We have been sanctified (set apart) to serve God and empowered by His Spirit to accomplish His calling. Our part is to grow in our knowledge of His word.
