- Homemade Gods (37:08)
The only lasting cure for idolatry is a fervent love for God. The hardest step is seeing our idols in the first place.
- Empty on the Inside (38:18)
If you don’t know God, it’s not God’s fault. God has already done everything necessary for you to have a relationship with him. - He Doesn’t Need Your Help (35:53)
The gospel begins with God. It doesn’t begin with Jesus or with us. The divine plan of salvation begins with the God who designed it.

Video from the “John 17” Conference in Rochester
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, May 25, 2011
In early March I traveled to Rochester, New York to speak at a “John 17” conference for pastors sponsored by Koinonia Fellowship. In every respect it was a most remarkable occasion. We evangelicals talk a lot about what separates us. It was refreshing to see pastors from very different backgrounds talk about what unites us. Here are thr...

On Sunday, October 17, God opened the door for a major speaking event in China. Despite official opposition and repeated attempts to shut down the event and a last-second change of venue, almost 500 students came to Dalian University of Technology to hear me speak about “The Wisdom of Solomon."
Hallelujah Chorus at Macy’s
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, November 8, 2010
Few pieces of music stir the soul like Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus.” On October 30, 2010 the Opera Company of Philadelphia and over 650 area musicians met at Macy’s Center City Department Store in Philadelphia for a “Random Act of Culture.” Without any prior announcement, they performed the “Hallelujah Chor...

Sermon Video: “Our Coming to You Was Not in Vain”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Sunday, September 26, 2010
Over the weekend we remembered that it has been five years since our final service at Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park, IL. At the end of all the goodbyes, we knew the Lord was moving us in a new direction. Little did we know that our family was about to expand and that we would eventually become grandparents. We didn’t know about the door...
New Video: Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, September 25, 2010
Of all the questions that trouble the people of God, none is greater than the problem of human suffering. Why do bad things happen to good people? Or why do the wicked prosper while the righteous take it on the chin? Eventually these questions become very personal. Why did my husband leave me after 15 years? Why did God allow my daughter to die in ...

Q and A video – Should Christians Be Involved in Politics?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Monday, August 30, 2010
The last election was mean-spirited and it was hard to discern between truth and lies. Should Christians separate from political activism and focus on “Christian work” instead?
The Gospel Song Video (Plus John Piper)
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, August 25, 2010
Yesterday Justin Taylor called attention this new video animation of the beautiful “Gospel Song” introduced by the folks at Sovereign Grace Music.

FAQs video – “Am I Truly a Christian?”
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, August 24, 2010
A missionary I was speaking with recently told me that he sometimes wonders “Am I truly a Christian"? I was surprised by this because he has been faithful in his service to Christ for many decades. But I do not look down on him for his doubts and believe that all or most Christians ask this question from time to time.

Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, August 13, 2010
What’s the difference between a real Christian and a religious person?This question originally came from an unsigned slip of paper turned in during a congregational survey when I served as pastor in Oak Park, Illinois. Whoever wrote this question deserves an A+ for creativity and for getting right to the point. The wording suggests that the...

New video – Where does the world stand in the light of Bible prophecy?

A few weeks ago, I was conducting an “Ask Pastor Ray” session at Cannon Beach Conference Center. One of the questions I received was “Where does the world stand in the light of Bible prophecy?“.This is a question many people are asking in these uncertain times! 2 Timothy 3:1 says that in the last days “terrible&rd…

Hope’s Journey
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, April 24, 2010
On our flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta I listened to the audio of a sermon called “Hopes’ Journey” that Bryan Chapell gave at Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. I think it’s one of the finest sermons I’ve ever heard. Chapell makes a compelling case that it’s not enough to teach people doctrine an…

Saturday Video: Were You There?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, April 3, 2010
This beloved spiritual transports us back to the time of Christ’s death and burial. We are asked to relive those events as if we had been standing there watching Jesus die on the cross. This particular version is very appropriate for Holy Saturday because it ends with the verse that asks, “Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?&…

New sermon video: Forgiving the Unforgivable
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, April 2, 2010
Brothers and sisters, what they did that day was unforgivable. That’s the definition of what unforgivable is. When you crucify the son of God you have done that which is beyond forgiveness. It is truly unforgivable....

Friday Video: How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Friday, April 2, 2010
Since this is Good Friday, I wanted a song that focused on the cross. Among the many newer songs, “How Deep the Father’s Love” stands out for its emphasis on the true meaning of death of Christ. You can find a ton of good theology in just these four lines: “Why should I gain from His reward/I cannot give an answer/But this I...

Tuesday Video: And Can It Be?
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Tuesday, March 30, 2010
Today’s video features a congregation singing Charles Wesley’s famous hymn “And Can It Be.” I may be wrong in calling it famous because many Americans don’t know the hymn at all. A friend told me that it was mostly unknown in the US until after Billy Graham’s 1954 London Crusade at Harringay Arena. Cliff Barrows ...

In November John Piper visited Angola Prison in Louisiana. Long considered one of the most violent prisons in America, it has been transformed in recent years under the leadership of Warden Burl Cain. His motto is, “I will be as nice as they let me, as mean as they make me be.” You can read more about what God is doing at Angola Prison ...

When I heard this version of Amy Grant singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” I found myself wanting to sing along.

“Count Your Blessings” by the International Songsters
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Wednesday, November 25, 2009
Last year I found this rollicking version of “Count Your Blessings” by the International Songsters of the Salvation Army. They performed this during a tour of Sweden in 2007. I hadn’t watched it since last Thanksgiving and it made me smile all over again. It’s upbeat, uptempo, uplifting, and I love that little ragtime in...

Several years ago when I made a list of My ten Favorite Hymns, I ended up putting “And Can It Be” in the top spot.

Later the Graham team used the hymn in many American crusades and made it famous. This p...

Silent Saturday
Posted by Ray Pritchard on Saturday, March 22, 2008
The four gospels do not tell us much about what happened on the Saturday between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. We know that after Jesus died, the disciples stayed behind locked doors for fear of the Jewish leaders (John 20:19). Their fear was well-founded because on that Saturday, the chief priests and the Pharisees met wi ...
