The Famished Patriot

I just came across what I think to be a very even-handed, Biblical defense of traditional marriage. It is written by John Carter. His great article is bookended by these two thoughts: 1. “God loves people, irrespective of their sexual preferences. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that […]

About two years ago, our church went through several weeks of training in a series titled Two Ways To Live. It is a concise, methodical, very Biblical approach to presenting the gospel, and back in 2010, our pastor walked us though it. Yesterday morning, our pastor announced that we were going to go through an […]

The following blog post is an excerpt from Chapter 17 of my book, Prophets & Prophetic Words: Preparing A Highway In The Desert. 17. Prophets as Visionaries “Prepare ye the way of the LORD … Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made […]

The U.S Constitution needs a new set of apologists. No … wait … I am not suggesting that we apologize FOR the Constitution. Quite the contrary. An apologist, you see, is a defender, one who argues in support of a belief system. The term is most commonly used in the field of Christian theology, with […]

We 21st century American Christians are, on the whole, woefully ill-equipped when it comes to understanding things like inalienable/unalienable rights. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that we have not been trained in these areas at all, or at least if we have, such training has not come from our churches. There is a […]

I have decided to post a new blog to continue the ongoing conversation on the so-called “myth” of “inalienable” rights—and hopefully bring a few more folks into the discussion. The conversation began last Thursday with this blog post by my friend and pastor, Jeff Ling. Note the comments on this page as well. It continued […]

A fellow blogger and friend posted a quote from Will Metzger’s book, Tell The Truth. Here’s the quote that was posted: “Grace uproots three myths – my inalienable rights, my human goodness, my free will – that act as barriers, shielding people from the full impact of the gospel. These barriers are penetrated by the […]

The wife and I try our very best to gather every morning and spend time together in God’s Word and in prayer. This morning, our prayer time was exceptionally Spirit-filled. In the course of prayer I began to pray for our nation (praying for revival in our land has become a routine part of our […]

Tonight and all day tomorrow, Christians from across the globe will be celebrating the break-in. Indeed, Christmas is the most renown break-in in all of human history. Other break-ins aren’t even a proverbial blip on the radar in comparison. This evening, churches across our land will be lit with candles as we sing the words […]

For the third time in four months, I had the privilege of attending a gathering where Bishop E.W. Jackson took the podium. He’s a gifted, visionary prophet for our generation, and he fires me up every time I hear him speak. The event was a December 6th luncheon in Landsdowne, (Loudoun Co.) VA, a quarterly […]
