Saw a headline that grabbed my attention – it said, “What happens to your body if you eat blueberries every day?” Immediately I clicked on the ad. Why? Because my first reaction was negative – there must be something wrong. There wasn’t. The ad explained that if you eat blueberries every day (which I do often) that you’re a candidate for a coaching program that will stack your muscles and build a super body. But they had me with the headline. We are negative by nature. That’s how we’re wired and how life seems to roll out. That’s why conversion...

It’s time to get mad again. In 2024, ruthless killers rampaged through Nigeria slaughtering over 8,000 Christian men, women, and children. What's our response? In 2014, the Nigerian Boko Haram terrorists kidnapped 276 girls from a Christian school in Northern Nigeria. Across the world, people united under the banner: #BringOurGirlsHome.. Most of those girls were raped, beaten, brutalized, forced into slavery as terrorist "wives." Some were found, some released, a few escaped, but at least 100 are still in captivity and 60 are dead … But terrorists have kidnapped more every year since. Imagine if it were your daughter, your...

In May 1962 in a distant field outside the small town of Centralia, Pennsylvania some men were clearing brush and debris. After they pushed it to one side, as is done on most farms, they set fire to the pile. A small part of the brush fell into a hole and lit some coal dust on fire. They covered up the hole with dirt and that seemed to be the end of the problem. What they didn’t know was that under the surface, right below their feet, more coal in deeper veins was catching fire. In August 1981, 19 years...

Last year in Nigeria, more than 8,000 Christians were martyred, and many more tortured, raped, or burned alive. Right now, hundreds remain in captivity, facing unimaginable suffering. Shocking - hard to believe - evil. You've seen the reports, heard the stories yet it's worse than we thought. It's bad. I'm fired up because in the midst of this crisis, God has opened a door for us as men to act. Nigeria is the largest nation in Africa with close to 250 million people. Rich in minerals, farms and oil, yet choked by poverty, corruption and encroaching jihadists. This is one...

Elijah was a powerful prophet of God who lived in Israel around 900 years before Jesus. He had a strong word of repentance for a wicked king. That king, Ahab, didn’t receive Elijah’s word. Elijah told him, “It won’t rain again until I say so.” And it didn’t, for three years (1 Kings 17-19). Elijah told the king three years later that he would give him another chance to repent and change. Ahab gathered all his pagan priests of Baal at Mt. Carmel for a test of faith. Whoever could call for their god to consume an animal sacrifice with...
