It is my experience that younger people really do want someone in their lives to whom they can look for conversations, wisdom, encouragement, and answers.
What do we want from this generation? We want them to know our God and love Him. We want to influence our generation to love God’s Word, know it thoroughly, and apply it to the way they live their lives. We want them to be “all-in” for God and willing to follow Christ and live for His sake and the gospels. We want them to join the great cloud of witnesses who lived by faith and “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, [and] obtained promises” (Hebrews 11:33). Those are what makes Christianity successful! Let’s stay focused on those things.

By now, you likely have read more articles and heard more debate about the NFL kneeling debacle than you care to handle! Are they right? Are they wrong? Should we boycott? Should we just ignore the whole mess? And so forth! While there are many issues surrounding this matter, one of them is certainly a…
I love Christian Camps, and have spoken in camps every year since God allowed me to enter the ministry as an evangelist! I spent thirteen of those years working closely with my friend and mentor Evangelist Bill Rice III at the Bill Rice Ranch in Murfreesboro, TN. During those 13 summers of ministry I spoke…

The weather can frustrate us. Politics can frustrate us. Frustration possibilities abound don’t they? Are you ever bothered? I am. And here are five things…
