I have little doubt that the single greatest obstacle to the impact of the Gospel has not been its inability to provide answers, but the failure on the part of Christians to live it out. I remember well in the early days of my Christian faith talking to a close Hindu friend. He was questioning […]

With so much of New England and the Northeast under 3% evangelical, it can be disheartening to think that Christianity is on the decline and has lost its influential power. This has caused many Christians to lose heart and give up on sharing their faith.   It has gotten to the point that whenever Christianity […]

If you know anything about me, you are probably aware that every week I drive 20 minutes to a local deli for their Thursday lunch special, a prime rib sandwich. It’s one of my favorite simple pleasures. I’ve talked about it on the radio, I’ve posted pictures on social media, and I’ve treated my friends […]

As the things of earth go, two of my great interests are history and science fiction. In any given history class, no matter how long ago an event happened, there is a moment where the thing being talked about shows it’s connection to the present day. We see a figure that appears to be perfectly […]

You’ve seen this scenario before. A rookie athlete wins a championship game and is interviewed by a reporter about who he’d like to thank. What does he say, “I love you mom!” This isn’t unwarranted. A mother captures the heart and love of their child. Caught up in the elation of the moment, the boy […]

Ephesians 4:1 tells us to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which we have been called. We are all called to be followers of Christ, but being a mother is one of the greatest callings in life. Mothers shape the worldview of their children and it is through their example that they […]

I recently had a lively conversation with a woman next to me on a flight. “Listen,” she said, “if I want to be a man on Monday and a woman on Wednesday—who cares? Gender identity is simply a matter of personal preference.” She said she believed in the essential goodness of human nature, so I asked how […]

It’s very easy to categorize people or assign a particular label to them. If an unbeliever tells us that he is an atheist or agnostic, we sometimes too quickly assume that that is what he is. Forty-five years in evangelism has taught me that people are not always what they say they are, and I […]

Psalm 107 begins with a common phrase in the Old Testament, “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!” For the believer, this is a call to worship God for all of His loving blessings, but sometimes, when we find ourselves in times of trouble, we forget the […]

So much of the Christian faith is tied to the concept of identity. Though we have been given our individual identities by our Creator, we are often reminded that we are weak and in desperate need of assistance that must come from outside ourselves. Once we come to recognize that we are fallen and that […]
