I came in yesterday, and collapsed. I have been in Africa. I have had three back-to-back pastor’s conferences from Seattle to Lancaster, PA. Each of those conferences has emphasized prayer. Most have had significant prayer moments. One was exclusively a prayer conference – we prayed all day, for almost three days. And yet! I had…
DetailsBarbara and I are off today for a multi-state regional conference in “Dutch Country!” – Lancaster, PA. The event is sponsored by “The Fellowship!” The somewhat diverse group began as an effort out of Christ For the Nations to maintain contact with the many pastors and leaders who had been trained there or who looked…
DetailsMichael McManus is the coauthor of Living Together: Myths, Risks & Answers, and President of Marriage Savers. McManus says that couples who live together before marriage are gambling on the stability of their future and they are losing 85% of the time. They believe the myth that they are in a “trial marriage.” Eight out…
DetailsI don’t know what my grandmother would have said. She might have just shook her head and cried. That’s what I feel like doing.

DetailsFather? Mother? – don’t say such things! The terms father and mother are headed for the trash heap. They are not “gay friendly!” So this coming year in Australia, 8-year olds may correct the pre-historic language of their parents. The correct terms are more generic, non-sexual – parents, partners and the like. Also on the…
DetailsJesus said that we were to be “as wise as serpents!” Who knows what he really meant! One thing is clear, the left is much more savvy in terms of manipulating the legal system than are conservatives. And they are much more committed to bending the nation into the shape they desire for it. Take…
Details“Why We Left Islam: Former Muslims Speak Out” hits shelves next week. Don’t expect it be openly sold in either Tehran or Bagdad, Saudi Arabia for that matter in Muslim friendly sectors in any part of the world. The book has an emblazoned depiction of Mohammed on its cover – torn in half. It was…
DetailsPope Benedict XVI is to be applauded for his call to an end of sexual scandal within the Catholic church. It is a problem which was covered for so many years by denial and the quick transfer of priests to a new location, exacerbated by loyal and conflicted Catholics who did not want to impugn…
Details“Expelled!” – that’s the name of the new movie-documentary by Ben Stein. It is being released in theaters this week. And I hope it gets a good national viewing.
