As I sat in silent prayer this morning, I saw an image of the Last Supper. It did not look like Da Vinci's famous painting where all the disciples were lined up on either side of the Lord. It was a busy and noisy gathering. Conversations occurred between clusters of...
Last night in the Tyson-Paul fight, I heard the referee point at Jake Paul, and warn him, “Don’t measure.” I had never heard a referee give that kind of warning. “Measuring” is placing your leading arm on the opposing fighter’s head to measure them or obstruct their...
The Church is not supposed to be a hard-nosed and controlling presence in culture. We have been assigned a ministry of influence. The Lord has used that influence to effect change in the various spheres of culture across time to change the world. In 1972, Billy Graham...
As Thanksgiving and Christmas approach, unlikely arrivals may appear at your holiday gathering. Extended family members, prodigals, and those from distant places will suddenly appear without warning. God is bringing friends and families together to experience...
Today, one of the most critical decisions any of us will make is the choice to rest. Our greatest peace and our most significant accomplishments come from a place of rest. Without being able to rest we will create gods in our image that will become taskmasters beating...
