God Delivers Those Who Obey Him
The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is one that many of us have heard throughout our lives. It is a dramatic story of three Hebrew men who refused to bow down to the golden idol and were, therefore, tossed into the fiery furnace. When King Nebuchadnezzar checked on them, he found a fourth person

God Will Vindicate His Name
The prophet Ezekiel has a series of visions and prophecies to minister hope to his fellow exiles in Babylon. One such word from the Lord promises their eventual return to their land. But He makes it clear that this return is not for their sake — it is to vindicate His name. In Ezekiel 36,

What Beautiful Feet!
To me, not many people’s feet are beautiful but to God, all of the feet of His children are beautiful. How do I know? One of my favorite Scriptures appears in Romans 10:15 (NIV). It says, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Back in 1989, a friend and I had

It’s Time to Pray for the President and Nation
Most of us realize our nation is facing severe challenges: those challenges include COVID-19, hurricane destruction, Afghanistan and more. Our nation is desperate for hope. Our government leaders are overwhelmed and facing unprecedented times. If ever there was a time for the church to pray, it is now. President Biden needs our prayers and support.

When Comfortable Becomes Your Safe Place
People get stuck because it’s so easy to choose a safe place and surround yourself with what’s comfortable. We love the comfortable; maybe comfortable is your safe place. So, the big question may be, is the safe place the best place? The obvious answer is no. Flexibility and change are better choices. Our times call

Why I Love the Prophets
Craig and I have been rather busy in our prophetic mentorship program this month. One feature we offered was a 20-minute, one-on-one meeting via Zoom. Meeting after meeting, we found prophets in front of us who craved one thing. They don’t seek the limelight. They don’t need someone to tell them how great their word

Remembering 9/11 From One Chaplain’s Eyes at Ground Zero
The world changed for all of us on 9/11. I can remember where I was when everything changed. As a Bible college student on the West Coast, my mom woke me up on that fateful morning to tell me the news as my dad had called her. I went downstairs to turn on the TV

“A Whole Lot of Shakin’ Going On!”
In August, the Caribbean nation of Haiti, on the shared island of Hispaniola, suffered yet another major earthquake. The 7.2 magnitude temblor caused a death toll of over 2,100 and left thousands homeless, among a desperately poor populace that has already had decades of humanitarian crises and now a high rate of COVID-19 cases. This

Beautifully Restored
We are all lumps of clay in the Master Potter’s hands. God is God; He created us for a purpose. When we find that purpose, it makes all the difference in the world. First, though, some of us have to go through His restoration process. Rebellion Many of us rebel against how God made us

Sin No More
I often hear Christians say, “The goodness of God leads you to repentance.” They say preaching about how good God is and how much He loves us is what brings people to Jesus. However, that’s actually preaching only part of the gospel. If you read Romans 2:4-5 in context, it states, “Don’t you see how

No One Escapes From Hell
Have you ever made a bad decision and then beat yourself up about it for days or even years? As human beings, we’ve all made mistakes … some more costly than others. But if we know Jesus Christ, God can make something good come out of even our worst mistakes. When we come to Him,

Why Did God Send Me To Hell?
Why did God take me to hell? Over the years, I came to understand a few reasons why God allowed me to experience this life-changing vision of hell. I know for certain one reason is that so many churches no longer teach the truth about hell. Many Christian leaders and scholars even deny that hell

Are Aliens Real?
Are aliens real? Is there life on other planets? Are UFOs real? If so, where are they from? It is very interesting to see that in recent months the media has begun reporting again on UFO sightings. There seems to be a newfound interest in the subject. There also exists a great deal of misinformation

The Most Redeeming Part of Rosh HaShana Is Not Rosh HaShanah
Rosh Hashanah (New Year’s), biblically known as Yom Teruah (Day of Trumpets, but technically the Day of the Sounding), is the first of the Fall Holy Days. As a young child, I attended and observed this day by gathering in our synagogue with a thousand other Jewish people and spending the entire day in solemn

Experiencing God as Your Father
Many people recoil at the idea of God as their Father, based upon their experience with their own father or authority figures. They blame Him for the ills of their lives. They see Him as a harsh judge with a whip in His hand and a cold, calculating heart. To their minds, He is an
