“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 …

Contrastingly, 1 Peter 5:8 reminds us that demons are also lurking around us constantly. We know from Revelation 12:4 that 2/3 of heaven’s angels did not rebel against God. So, it’s reasonable to assume, …

Beware the Enneagram. Facts first. For those not aware, the Enneagram is a said to be a nine-personality-type model of the human soul. The geometric symbol, pictured above, illustrates that the nine types are interconnected. Unlike the Meyers-Briggs 16 personality types used in business, and the temperament analysis of my late friend Tim LaHaye (sanguine, …

Our “Bob Larson Exorcism” channel on YouTube, features a dramatic exorcism every other week. On alternate weeks, we present “Ask the Exorcist,” a Q&A forum with interesting questions posed to me, from around the world.

A friend of mine sent me a news article about a satirical “obituary” that ran in the “London Times” about the death of common sense. I identified strongly with the writer’s examples of common sense being discarded when schools are required to get parental consent to administer an aspirin but cannot inform parents when a …

They had it all. Money. Worldwide recognition. Promising careers. But each ended life early, in mid-life. Fashion Designer Kate Spade, suicide at 55; Robin Williams, comedian, suicide at 63; Anthony Bourdain, TV Star Chef, suicide at 61. Fame and fortune wasn’t enough. All hung themselves. The reasons were unclear. Mental illness? Depression? Alcohol and drug …

By now you’ve probably heard that television evangelist Jessie Duplantis, of New Orleans, wants a brand new $54 million jet for Jesus. He already has three other jets, but this new one has, he says, “fighter jet technology with an elegant, whisper-quiet executive cabin.” The secular and Christian press raised collective eyebrows of skepticism about …
