We are so thankful to share that our radio and television ministry is airing weekly to over 200 million homes on FOUR continents. We were booked to preach in TEN countries this year in 2020 but when COV19 came many of our bookings came to a halt. The Lord impressed on us three things. 1) [...]

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.

On opening weekend I was able to treat my family to see the new movie "SULLY" starring Tom Hanks.

One, it was exactly [...]

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 Some skeptics suggest revivals are obsolete, tents are outdated and evangelism is out the window simply because it is too hard or offensive.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 [...]

Jesus said: "You MUST be born again." It wasn't a suggestion but a statement from the only Savior known to mankind. The Scriptures note in Proverbs: "He that winneth souls is WISE."
