Eternity is rushing towards us.
You and everyone else must be ready.

The Word of God vs. My New Book
Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand for ever." The New Year is upon us. 2006 is gone and 2007 is here. Time for New Year's resolutions? Nah. Time for commitments that you will keep in the coming days. Sad days are upon us. People don't read the Bible anymore. It seems like so many people I meet read everything but the Bible. I heard about...Continue Reading...
Assembling Together
Hebrews 10:25 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." It seems like we are getting more and more emails from people who have gotten fired-up about reaching the lost, but then hit certain roadblocks. People are preparing themselves for evangelism through studying their Bibles, or reading my books, and the Holy Spirit drills them...Continue Reading...
If It Doesn’t Preach On Death Row…
Mark 6:17 "For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her." One of my great pleasures in life is going to different prisons and preaching the truth about Jesus. I have been able to go with a group called Champions For Life, which is run by Bill Glass. You can find out more information about them...Continue Reading...
It’s Getting Hot Out There
A lot of people are talking about global warming these days. The evening news and the Internet are all abuzz. Al Gore did a documentary on it called “An Inconvenient Truth,†that won an Oscar. Representative Ed Markey from Massachusetts referred to Al Gore during some proceedings on Capitol Hill as a “prophet.†It seems years ago Mr. Gore predicted some of the climate difficulties we are facing today. You have to be careful if...Continue Reading...
What Is Worse Than A Massacre?
We have all seen the pictures and the video footage. A killer was loose on a college campus. He killed thirty-two people and then he killed himself. Now come the questions: How can this happen? How could he do that? Are our kids safe? But there are also a few questions people don’t want to touch on, so let’s get straight to them. Where was God on a day like that? Well, we have asked...Continue Reading...
Soldiers of the Cross, Be Bold
2 Timothy 2:3,4 “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.†As I write this, there was just an ambush in Iraq where numerous soldiers were killed and three soldiers were kidnapped. They have now sent out over 4000 soldiers to try and locate these three soldiers....Continue Reading...
Don’t Pray, Obey
Genesis 26:5 “Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.†Just as I encourage believers to look forward to a summer of being on the front lines, I try to do the same here in Atlanta. A couple of weeks ago, we had the annual Gay Pride event downtown. I never take speaking engagements that weekend. I want to be here in Atlanta, every year, until...Continue Reading...
Would the World Be Better Off With Another You?
1 Corinthians 11:1 “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.†One of the things that we learned in One Heartbeat Away was something called the Law of Biogenesis. It is the scientific concept that one produces after it own kind. So for instance when two dogs mate, their offspring is a dog. When two giraffes mate, their offspring is a baby giraffe, etc. Two dogs don’t get together and produce...Continue Reading...
Masterpieces In Progress
In the last newsletter we discussed the topic, “Do we really need another you.†If God replicated you, would this world be a better place with more people who believe and live their faith out like you? We took a look a look at some verses in Ezekiel. Now let’s look at the verses that come after that in Ezekiel. Ezekiel 36:25-38: “Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean:...Continue Reading...
Where Are Your Tickets To Heaven?
Matthew 13:3-9 “And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no...Continue Reading...
Always Thankful
As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, we all have a lot to be thankful for. Psalm 100:4 “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.†Do you ever thank God for your family? I have met two different people in the last couple of weeks who were not being raised by their parents. One, a 17 year old, told me that he...Continue Reading...
Don’t Leave Him In the Manger
What a wonderful time of the year it is, snow falling in some places, school is out for most people, and families getting together for their Christmas traditions. Part of that tradition for so many families has to do with the birth of Jesus Christ. Many will go to Christmas plays at their schools and to productions at their church. Those services can be so beautiful as we learn more about the story of Joseph...Continue Reading...
