Jesus on Times Square! When I booked our Christmas billboard @ Times Square was November 1. We were out front. I knew the Lord said do it and to my knowledge when I booked going into Christmas no one else was doing it for the Holiday & New Year. My buddy, Nathan inspired [...]
This week the revered reverend, Dr. Billy Graham turned 99 years old and BGEA is celebrating all year as he turns the corner into living a century. Very few live to be one hundred and even fewer know firsthand what it has been like to be used by God like this gentle giant from North [...]
Since childhood, I have been a HUGE Mel Gibson fan. From Mad Max to Braveheart, The Patriot to four installments of "Lethal Weapon" and his masterful depiction of "The Passion of Christ" was Divine. Literally! Even his final fight in Expendables 3 with Stallone was great and when my good friend, Pastor Brian Alarid asked [...]
As long as I live I will never forget what God did with some committed Christians in the First State. Earlier this month, Franklin Graham's DECISION AMERICA TOUR bus rolled into town and GOD showed up! The back story was for the first time in decades the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association felt led to scrap [...]
MEET NICK: This brother, Nick Hall has an amazing assignment from the Lord. Since youth, he has been telling anyone and everyone about the Lord. God opened incredible doors for him to speak on campus while a student and that spread to a movement on multiple college campuses. After seeing firsthand how the [...]
It has been three weeks and I am still digesting and processing what God did in our midst in Monroeville, Alabama. Some skeptics suggest revivals are obsolete, tents are outdated and evangelism is out the window simply because it is too hard or offensive. One respected church leader said years ago, "It's not that [...]
As a child, I recall being invited to attend the local theater and it was music to my ears when my parents said, "I Got You Covered." It was pure excitement to enter and escape for [...]

On New Year's Eve 2013 - New Year's Day 2014 it was my honor to be a small part of what God did BIG this past week at my friend, Dean Forrest annual BIG GOD Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ironically, on New Year's Eve last year I was help ushering in the New [...]

So honored that Sheila Walsh - speaker with "WOMEN OF FAITH" and my buddy, Dave Sterrett of "I AM SECOND" both agreed to write endorsements for the book. Go God! One of the early chapters in the book, [...]
Yesterday, my dear friend and fellow Evangelist Randy Hogue texted me the quote below. It touched me so much that immediately I added a picture of Bono and shared it on FB and less than 18 hours it got over 144 shares and scores of comments. Literally, because of friends sharing it with their social [...]
This has been an AWESOME week! On Sunday, April 21, 2013 it was a JOY to preach @ Streetlite Church in Baltimore, MD for Pastor Brian Zimmerman. They are literally blocks from Camden Yards and Super Bowl Champs Ravens Stadium. We had 18 SOULS SAVED at the morning worship and GOD SHOWED UP! Yesterday, it [...]
It is my honor to serve on the advisory board of Praisefest Ministries God has allowed me to preach on all FIVE of their cruises. We have been to Bahamas, Jamaica and now Haiti in June 2014. Dr Matthew Dunaway asked me to be in a commercial to promote their "WATER & WORD" relief effort. [...]
Watch the latest video at video.foxnews.com God has been too good to me. It was 32 years ago (July 1979) that at age seven I gave my heart to Christ and 29 years ago last week in July 1982 that at (age 10) I had such a burden for my friends who didn't know God [...]
Professional basketball to me is not the same. Perhaps it is because I am getting older or the fact that since Michael, Magic & Bird retired the game isn't as appealing to me. I must admit that this season (particularly the playoffs were fun to watch). I love to watch "MARCH MADNESS" because those collegiate [...]

The sermon above was the third of the morning services I preached at Putnam Baptist Church in Shelby, NC on Sunday, May 15 and I spoke that night at a [...]
Folks stop me periodically and say: "Frank, I love Jesus, I am going to Heaven but I don't feel obligated to go to church. What do you think?" Perhaps you have had heard a similar statement too. Some suggest salvation is enough. Well, before I answer let me remind you what God says on this [...]
It is always fun to visit Dallas, TX. We just got home at midnight (last night) and I am feeling this morning like a muffler - EXHAUSTED. It was a wonderful trip and it was great reuniting with family and friends. Ruth's brothers and sisters live in Irving (just outside of the old [...]

Yesterday, (Sunday, April 26), I preached twice (AM & PM) at Oxon Hill Baptist Church to "kick off" their five service, four day revival.
