Exorcism Isn’t Easy

A friend of our ministry, Krista, who recently completed the courses in our International School of Exorcism, made an interesting observation: “There seems to be so much detail and subtlety in exorcism. I would call it an art.” Put another way, some critics accuse me of being unbiblical when I encourage students of our School …

It’s not OK to be OK

This week, my wife texted me a sign hanging outside an evangelical church: ITS OK NOT TO BE OK. Laura chaffed when she saw it. So did I when I saw her text. Frankly, I’m getting a little sick of pop-culture-branded Christianity that subsists on trite slogans. Leo Buscaglia, known in the 90s as “Dr. …

Fake News

It has become a byword in conversation, an epithet thrown at the media, a point of contention between the Trump administration and news outlets worldwide. FAKE NEWS! The cry goes out across the land, and both liberals and conservatives have their own idea about what it means. To President Trump it’s scurrilous rumors about shenanigans …

I’m addressing something that has long been our concern: the state of the American, evangelical, family. Set Your …

Mary Tyler Moore Was Cursed

I’ll admit it. I hate sitcoms. The laugh tracks drive me nuts. The stage sets are cheesy. The jokes are stale. Seinfeld? Forget it. Yada, yada, yada. OK, I occasionally do watch reruns of “Last Man Standing.” And I’ll also admit to liking “The Mary Tyler More Show,” just to watch Ted Knight’s character, Ted …

The Way We Were

Barack is gone, and the Donald has taken over. The Obama Presidency is history. Enough has been said about all of that, but I must draw attention to a few important words that President Obama said in his parting address to the press. He started out well, saying, “I believe in the American people.” But …

Facebook and God

He’s the 5th richest man in the world with a net worth of $50 billion, but apparently, he still can’t get no satisfaction. Raised a Jew, he became an atheist. Now he’s come back around to say that “religion is very important.” But Zuckerberg isn’t returning to Judaism. He is leaning toward the religion of …
