Beginning November 29th I attended a three day meeting on “the Hill” called “Congressional Clergy Town Hall”–an opportunity for 20 of the most committed Christians in Congress to speak to us regarding what is now happening in Washington after the historic elections of November 8. What was slated as a town hall developed into much…

On Tuesday, a record number of Americans cast a ballot for the next President of the United States. In fact, almost 20 million more voted, than has voted in the last four presidential elections. The decision rendered on Tuesday came at the end of one of our nation’s most divided, but pivotal, election cycles. For…

Barbara Bartocci, a Kansas City inspirational and motivational speaker, once wrote that betrayal can be like an earthquake. “The very ground beneath you is suddenly unstable,” she said. Certainly one of the most challenging times in my ministry occurred when I was still in my twenties. Relatively new at this one particular pastorate, I was…

Several years ago, our family and a few dear friends visited the famed Horseshoe Falls on the U.S. side of Niagara Falls. Even though one cannot help but be overwhelmed by the 3 million gallons of water per second that pass over the crest of the Falls, the most memorable component of our visit were…

In recent days, I have become more and more perplexed by the recommendations of some (thankfully a small and somewhat influential group, though there are some voices of import among them), who advocate that a just, firm, and definitive response to acts of evil is itself evil and contrary the “commands of Jesus.” While never…

It’s a simple, but powerful idea. The American Pastors Network (APN,www.americanpastorsnetwork.net) is announcing a new initiative called “We Will Stand,” which invites America’s pastors to intentionally band together and faithfully stand for biblical truth in the public square, and let their congregations and communities know they, too, can be involved. The time is now. “At…

Planned Parenthood, the leftist, pro-murder organization founded by radical racist Margret Sanger, endorsed Hillary Clinton during the primary season–the first time they’ve ever done so during a primary election. Now, they’ve announced that they plan to have voter registration drives at their abortion service locations.  It is NOT illegal to conduct such drives, provided they…

Despite the darkness that seems to be increasingly enveloping our nation, there are signs that indicate the possibility of another genuine “awakening” on the horizon. Over the last 25 years, I have made revival a central study, even having visited some of the locations where real revival occurred (Wales, Northhampton, Mass., and others).  The history…

As the magnitude of the Orlando terror attack begins to more thoroughly sink in, many are asking what should be the appropriate response to this horrific incident? More specifically, what should be the response of Christians to this murderous act? To go right to the heart of the question, “What would Jesus say about Orlando?”…

We are in perilous days. It does no good for us to know the truth of the Bible and not preach it and practice it. This is the reminder that the American Pastors Network (APN, www.americanpastorsnetwork.net) wants to emphatically send to pastors and engaged believers, especially as they work to navigate an ever-changing culture, one where once-unheard-of laws…
