If you aren’t aware of Braco (Braht-zoh), the Croatian spiritualist, you’re going to think I’m jesting. I’m not. What I’m about to tell you is so bizarre it could only happen in these self-indulgent, spiritually bankrupt End Times. Braco is known as “the Gazer” because he stands motionless in front of audiences, and for as long as […]

All America has been transfixed this past week with the controversy surrounding an alleged incident of sexual violation lodged against judge and Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. The accusation goes back 36 years to when Kavanaugh was 16 and Ford was 15. Ford says that, during heavy drinking at a party, Kavanaugh shoved her into

During our recent mission to London, I took some time from our incredibly busy schedule to visit one of my favorite places, The British Museum. It contains an astounding collection of objects, particularly in its antiquities division. I only had a few hours, so I concentrated my interest on what spiritually interested me the most,

Dennis Rader says that demons made him do it—stalk, strangle, mutilate, rape, sodomize 10 men, women and children, over a 17-year period 1974-1991. The admission came in a recently aired documentary (Oxygen Network) that uncovered a previously unknown confession he gave to police 13 years ago. Rader was an active leader in his church, but

The latest statistics regarding sexually transmitted diseases are horrifying. New cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis increased 10% last year. The Centers for Disease Control state that, since 2013, there has been a “steep, sustained increase” that puts the incidence of STDs at record levels. As expected, the rise is blamed on the lack of federal

I’m irritated by the word games people play to describe what the devil does. All this artful language to avoid admitting that Christians can have demons is disingenuous and untruthful.  Some are so scared to say the word “possession” when referring to believers that they obfuscate the obvious by saying, “Well, a Christian can’t be possessed, but they can be

“On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.” The words of hymnist Edward Mote in 1834 don’t seem to carry much weight today. Neither do the lyrics of contemporary artist Jeremy Camp, “Give me Jesus, You can have all this world, Just give me Jesus.” Today’s gospel seems to be

George Whitefield was an English, Anglican cleric and pioneer of Methodism and, what we know today as, evangelicalism. Short, portly, and cross-eyed he became the most famous clergyman of the 18th century, and sparked the American revival known as the First Great Awakening. I was reminded of his legacy last week while ministering in Washington, D. C. and

Sunday morning at church should be a time of inspiration and motivation. Two weeks ago, on a rare weekend home with the family, it was a time of frustration for me. My hopes were high when the pastor announced he’d be speaking on Ephesians chapter six, “The Armor of God.” The church is evangelical, a

In one of the dumbest, buck-passing ideas ever foisted on the public, USA-TODAY newspaper last week ran a story with the hot headline, “Global warming risk: Rising temperatures from climate change linked to rise in suicides.” They’re kidding, right? Wrong. Next, they’ll somehow link climate change to teen pregnancy and autism. The basic point of
