I’m concerned. Very concerned. Dark clouds are rapidly approaching Western civilization, and we’re standing on the verge of one of the greatest storms in modern history. We’re facing acts of terror that we thought had been left in the Dark Ages. We’re witnessing immorality march down Main Street and proclaim its purity, while the masses […]
A few weeks ago, I returned from a major outreach event in India. God had blessed and many people from non-Christian backgrounds came to Christ. The experience gave me courage to write about penetrating the darkness in my e-book, God’s Glory in the Darkness. I encouraged Christians not to fear the darkness, but penetrate it. […]
As pictures of gruesome beheadings continue to make their way on to the Internet and in our television sets, one can’t help but wonder if there is any hope for modern civilization. Who would have dreamed that the world would see such barbarianism in the 21st century? The darkness seems to be growing exponentially. Once […]
Prior to September 11, 2001, most Americans had never considered that people in other parts of the world would commandeer commercial jets into American buildings, killing thousands of innocent people.

It may have been the same feeling that Joseph Willis had when he peered at the Mississippi River. Major […]
During the late 1700s, many people wondered if the new nation would survive. The United States went down a road that had never been travelled. It was a grand experiment of politics, freedom, and faith. Many historians believe that the First Great [Spiritual] Awakening produced the desire for freedom, brought unity to the people, and […]
What does 1798 have in common with 2014? More than you might think – at least in America. Many Christians bemoan the situation we face today, but it’s not too unlike the circumstances of the church shortly after we established our nation and declared our freedom. Two friends, Bill Elliff and Byron Paulus, have just […]
I included one of the most despicable characters in American history in my book, Twice a Slave. I’d never heard of him until I did research on my family history. His father was a minister, and his mother a prostitute. He despised his father, and learned thievery from his mother. While she was doing business […]
