Homesick for Heaven?

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn

(Luke 2:7, NKJV).

 

My most recent release is a Christmas story about homelessness. Some people have asked me why I chose such a topic for a […]

God’s Absolute Standards

And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord (2 Kings 15:34, NKJV).

 

I recently saw this quote from Mother Teresa: “The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.”

The opposite of good is bad; the opposite of right is wrong. The very existence of such words declares the […]

Our Greatest Thanksgiving…

Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be
with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:17, NKJV).

“HINE HUBA!”
That’s “Behold, He comes” in Hebrew—and that’s what I’m most thankful for this week as we prepare for our annual […]

Is It Well with Your Soul?

I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:
I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound
(Philippians 4:11-12, NKJV).

Lately I can’t get the words to that wonderful old hymn “It Is Well with My Soul” out of my mind. In fact, I’ve been singing it all morning. After a few […]

Speaking God’s Words…Communicating His Vision

And Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, whatever the LORD says to me,
that I will speak” (1 Kings 22:14, NKJV).

Because so much of what I write has to do with tough social issues—the persecuted Church, illegal immigration, families with incarcerated loved ones, human trafficking, homelessness—I am often asked, “Why do you write about such dark […]

Always Carry God’s Word with You

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,
a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth
(2 Timothy 2:15, NKJV).

From the very day I first became a believer, I had a voracious appetite for the Word of God. I read it every chance I got, and to be honest, I […]
