Today, is the day that Christians world-wide remember Christ crucified on Calvary’s cruel cross. So many nuggets are in Scripture, I love how the Lord used a virgin womb with Mother Mary and a virgin tomb of Joseph of Arimathea to be the bookends of history. Yes, it has been said: “History is really HIS [...]

The “sweet spot” can mean many things to many people. For some, it may be a choice spot on the beach to drop your blanket for some fun in the sun. For others, it could be the bottom portion of your iced-tea filled with sugar and it really gets good towards the end. For sports [...]

On Thursday, January 14, 2010, I had the privilege to be present at the Conference of Southern Baptist Evangelists Hall of Faith dedication at the North American Missions Board just outside of Atlanta, GA. A special shout out to my friend, Dr David Jackson for helping make my trip possible and I was humbled by [...]

My all-time favorite Christmas song is “O, Holy Night.” If I could sing that would be the song that I would close with at every concert. Truly, something was different and “holy” the night when the Babe born in Bethlehem’s barn became flesh and for thirty three years lived among us. His birth was spectacular, [...]

Well, its Sunday and I am flying back home tomorrow from Birmingham, Alabama to Maryland after preaching today at Victory Church of God in Anderson, AL. As my friends down south say: ROLL TIDE!” Over the years, God has opened some AMAZING doors for me to walk through. Honestly, I take no credit for what [...]

Well, ready or not HALLOWEEN is this Saturday. Yes, as a child I recall the great days of this month as we would enjoy hay rides, pick pumpkins, drink cider, go door to door begging for candy, having Mom check for hidden objects when we returned and it never failed. Every year, we would have [...]

Fall is my favorite season of the year. Only God could graffiti the world with His awesome artwork. Sadly, we are so busy looking down we fail to look up and see what He has done! God is both creative and contagious. God invented something out of nothing and yet values us (humans) as everything. [...]

Since as long as I can remember I have been a Elvis Presley fan. My parents would have me perform concerts for their friends when I was four years old. When I was age five my parents took me to see Elvis “IN CONCERT” not once but TWICE in 1977 (months before his death)! Ironically, [...]

My plane just landed this morning from a weekend whirl-wind trip to the Palmetto State. It is always a JOY to return to South Carolina. It was my privilege to fly to Greenville, SC on Saturday, September 12, on a US Airways jet. Ironically, only seven people (including me) were on the flight from Washington [...]

It was my pleasure to preach at a “CASTING CROWNS” concert in 2005, in Manassas, Virginia at a large church. It was a Youth Evangelism Rally and Duffy Robbins and I, were the two invited guests and I had the pleasure to preach both Friday night at the CC Concert and Saturday morning on the [...]

Nikita Koloff – “The Russian Nightmare” is the “FIVE Time World Wrestling Champion” and bowed his knee and gave his heart to Jesus Christ. Today, he is one of the most powerful preachers and evangelists that I know. He serves on the Advisory Board of www.PraisefestMinistries.com with me and he is a dear friend, brother [...]

**(The Cherry Blossoms turn 100 years old this year – Spring 2012! NOTE: I wrote this post April 2010). Yes, Spring has sprung! Hard to believe that six weeks ago we had three feet of snow in the Washington, DC vicinity and today the temperatures are pushing 75 degrees! Yes, the Scriptures are true: “This [...]

Just flew back tonight from preaching twice yesterday at a REVIVAL in South Carolina at Sandbridge Baptist Church and it never gets old bringing the Word to the world. In the past two weeks, I have been blessed to visit Punta Cana, Dominican Republic / Miami, FL / Charleston, SC / Charlotte, NC and I [...]

It is hard to believe but it was eight years ago today that America was knocked to her knees. Ironically, I had just flown back to Capitol Hill, the day before the attacks from preaching in Florida. I was also on staff at the Republican National Committee and I was raising funds for the GOP [...]

It is hard to believe but it was 32 years ago today, that I heard the horrible news that “ELVIS PRESLEY is dead.” It was August 16, 1977 and my five years old ears had just got word that my hero was dead. My parents had taken me to see Elvis “IN CONCERT” not once [...]

The passing of Michael Jackson reminds me more than ever why I am an evangelist. This will not be a post to illuminate his mistakes (because that is God’s job and one has to look very little to find mine). However, it will touch briefly on his success and remind all the importance of salvation. [...]

God gave me a phrase years ago that we have coined now in Christian circulation: “The GREATS are GRACIOUS.” My guests today are two of the nicest people on the planet. Aaron & Amanda Crabb are fellow servants of the Gospel, children of the Most High God, an encouragement to many and somehow a friend [...]

We use the word “love” too losely in our culture. Another word we take for granted is “God.” Some use it in vain and others in the past would not even utter it on their lips because it was too holy only to write it down slowly in reverence of each stroke of the quill [...]

After nine hit seasons, “American Idol” judge Simon Cowell is leaving tomorrow night. Love him or loathe him the fact about Simon is that he was as much as the show’s success as any of the upcoming “stars.” He has a powerful presence and painfully spoke the truth. Some questioned at times if Mr Cowell [...]

JESUS & JAMAICA! What a combination!! The fact is, God loves the world so much that in the wise words of Max Lucado: “Jesus would rather die than live without you.” It has been my privilege to be part of all three of Praisefest Ministries – “Cruise with a Cause” to the Bahamas (2006-2008). Dr [...]

My dear friend, Deborah Gillespie shared this email with me yesterday: “Frank, although YOU are the master of alliteration, Chuck Swindoll’s thoughts on “Nobodies” reminded me of your thoughts about “The Greats are gracious” and I wanted to share this with you.” Debbie is a dear sister in Christ and she is sold out to [...]

Yes, I love basketball. No, this post has nothing to do with the NCAA. Don’t get me wrong but the “FINAL FOUR” (despite in sports vernacular) one of the most exciting times for a sports enthusiast; I’m talking about something much more significant, substantial and spiritual. For starters, since the first day of this year [...]

This is the first time in three consecutive years that I was able to enjoy the SUPER BOWL at home. As an evangelist, it is a privilege to criss-cross the Country but it does come with some personal sacrifice. While preaching and catching planes I literally missed both games the last two years and it [...]

Hard to believe but the late ELVIS PRESLEY would have been 75 years old today. He was and still my all-time favorite singer. Very few mortals had his charisma, vocals, stage presence, personality, looks, hair, style and fans. A couple years ago he was named ENTERTAINER OF THE CENTURY and worth more dead than alive. [...]

Initially, I considered naming this post GOING OUT ON A LIMB for the LORD or BRANCHING OUT in 2010. Either way, it reminds us all what happens when we reach out to Jesus. Desperate men must take drastic measures to get to God. Yes, prayer is a whisper away but obedience outstretched to the Omnipotent [...]

The “Little Drummer Boy” Christmas classic is my all-time favorite. The first time I saw it on CBS, I was in elementary school and I cried. For the past three decades I have watched it annually and it still tugs at my heart strings. Yes, “Frosty” was good, “Christmas Vacation” with Chevy Chase is great, [...]

Evangelist Billy Graham needs no introduction. He has spoken in person to more people than any man in the history of humanity (including rock stars, poets, politicians, presidents and professional athletes). My Dad met him twice and I would love to meet him just once but thanks to Calvary if I miss Dr Graham down [...]

This is the last of my three part post on “Dreams.” We talked about “Daring to Dream,” “Dreams vs Career” and now when “DREAMS DIE.” My brother in law, Noe Salmeron was at the event above the day they demolished the famed Texas Stadium last week. Since 1971, Texas Stadium was the home of the [...]
