One of the most fascinating aspects of God’s nature is that He delegates authority and power. We see this from the very beginning of creation when He grants to plants and animals and human beings the authority and responsibility to reproduce, to be fruitful, to multiply and fill the earth. He even delegates to man the privilege to ask God’s Hand to move, such that if he does not ask...
Those who were alive then, and of age, will never forget.
It was a day of unspeakable evil: airplanes hijacked for the sole purpose of massacring thousands of men, women and children, some unborn.
It was a new way to make war; a new way to kill; a new way to bring terror.
It was cowardice and it was demonic.
One side of the world wept in horror; another side celebrated and cheer...
Nothing is judged more severely by our culture today than assertions of biblical male and female absolutes. It may be possible that we are in the final progression of God giving our culture up to first “sexual impurity” then “shameful lusts” and finally a “depraved mind”. And throughout all of this, true human sexuality has been the prime target. The enemy tu...
We will be hold an Engagement Project Training Conference at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Lakewood, Washington on August 28. If you are in the area, we would love to see you there. I am looking forward to seeing one of our students from the Engagement filming and others that have been instrumental in the Truth Project.
On August 17 and 18 I will be presenting The Engagement Project to the faculty of Pensacola Christian College. If you haven't heard of PCC and you or your child is considering colleges, give them a look. You will be highly impressed!
I will be in Orlando, Aug 3-5, to speak to The First Academy faculty and staff. The First Academy, as well as First Baptist Orlando, have been great supporters of the Truth Project and I am looking forward to spending time with them. I will be addressing the state of our culture. If you live in the area, consider them as your school of choice.
In the luxury of a culture where even the lower economic classes live like kings compared to the world’s poor, we have become immensely spoiled. We are lavished with bins overflowing with fresh fruit and vegetables in the dead of winter, aisles full of choice cut-meats, acres of shelves filled with more products than anyone could possibly want, stores with racks of clothes and shoes of ev...

There are two progressions in Scripture that appear to be manifested in our culture and in our times. These are not onward and upward progressions, but more of a downward spiral.
One of those progressions comes primarily from Proverbs where we are introduced to three kinds of people: the simple, the fool, and the scoffer. They are continually contrasted with the wise. We meet a...
On Oct 30, 1991, there was strange confluence of weather forces that brought about what came to be known as “the Perfect Storm”, a name that was coined by author Sebastian Junger. The word “perfect”, in this case, does not mean something good and wonderful, but it reflected the crazy fluke that numerous meteorological events were all happening at the same time and place....
We're in Des Moines, Iowa for a Pastor's gathering, the Family Leader Summit and the Engagement Project Small Group Training Conference.
I look forward to the time with Pastor's and hope we can work together to instill in the body of Christ that God has entrusted the primary work of the kingdom to the common Christian family.
The Family Leader is fast becoming recognized as a ...
