To the church of Thyatira, Jesus warned of the consequences of a hardworking church that falls into sexual immorality and idolatry. This warning needs to be headed today but also the promise to the overcomer.

A faithful church lead astray into sin and compromise, Pergamos is a warning  to us today. The spirit of Balaam is alive and well with us today. Is it too late?

The church of Ephesus and the church of Smyrna were the first two of the seven. To each, Jesus spoke different words. One He encouraged and warned, the other exhorted and corrected. These words spoke by Christ resonate to us now. What does it mean to lose our first love? Will the persecution come?

Seven churches, seven different instructions, encouragements, and corrections. Spoken out of love, what did Jesus say and does any of it, or all of it, apply to us today?

We pray for revival all the time but it never seems to come. Preachers and commentators all proclaim that the only hope for our nation and the world is another Great Awakening but the heavens seem as brass. Why don't we see revival? Are we actually ready for it? Do we even know what we're asking for?

One of the signs of the end times is becoming apparent. In these days, James' words, "Be few those of you who teach" ring very true. The warning they carry needs to be heeded by all who approach the Word.

These are dark days indeed. Terrorism, racial uprisings, cop killings, and more are becoming the norm. What is the Christ follower to do?

My lovely bride and I had the honor of ministering at Gothicon as part of the Audiofeed Music Festival. What was it like to minister to a bunch of Christian Goths? Is that the contradiction in terms? Tune in to get real answers.

Ask yourself this question: When was the last time you heard a message on repentance? I don't mean a call to accept Jesus, but a real, solid call to repentance for the believer and unbeliever alike. Perhaps we need to take a long, hard look at this question and this dangerous and transformational truth. (From The Archives)

"So much death. What can be done in the face of such reckless face?" In the light of the terrorist attack on Pulse in Orlando, how can the followers of Christ respond? What can we do when people who believe we hate them are attacked with true evil intent?
