We were done by 1:45 PM.This is the third time Marlene and I have done the co-teaching concept. We both stand at the podium and take turns speaking. In the fi…
*We’re on the road again, this time to New Jersey. Marlene and I are flying to Philadelphia where our good friend Pastor Paul Barreca will pick us up and drive us to Vineland. I first met Paul several years ago at Word of Life in New York. Then I spoke for him at Faith Bible Church in Vineland. This weekend we’re speaking at Faith for a…
Someone read one of my sermons on salvation and asked the following question:Does a person have to “understand” the Trinity to be saved? What if they believe in God the Father and Jesus as his son, but can’t really grasp the whole “One God in three persons” thing? I think the answer goes like this. You don’t have…
This morning I’m co-hosting “Today’s Issues” with Tim Wildmon on American Family Radio from 10 AM-12 Noon CST. Our guests today include former NFL star Roynell Young, founder of Pro-Vision, a mentoring program for teenage boys. During his playing days with the Philadelphia Eagles, he was an all-pro cornerback. Now he has ded…
For over a decade I’ve been collecting a variety of study Bibles to use in sermon preparation. I can’t say that I’ve got every study Bible on the market because so many new ones come out every year. But I have used (and enjoyed) the NIV Study Bible, the Ryrie Study Bible, the MacArthur Study Bible, the Life Application Bible, the …
This is All Saints Day, one of the finest, most joyful days of the Christian year. It’s the day when we remember and give thanks for all true believers around the world, especially those who have gone before us into heaven. Evangelicals often pay little attention to the Christian year (for various reasons), but this is one holiday that should…
Here’s a picture of our Holy Land group taken on the Mount of Olives with the Temple Mount, the Dome of the Rock, and the city of Jerusalem in the background. Having traveled with fifteen people, I can testify that there are many advantages to a smaller group. We all got to know each other, we were able to visit more sites than some of those …
We took this picture about 27 hours ago, at 2 AM in the lobby of the Grand Court Hotel in Jerusalem. I wanted everyone to see Malcolm and Muhammed, the two men who worked together to give us such a memorable Holy Land tour. I mentioned a few days ago that Malcolm is a born teacher. On further reflection, I don’t know that I’ve ever met …
On Monday night we gathered in our hotel room and everyone gave us the disks with all the pictures from the trip. The result was enormous–over 5200 pictures taken by 8 people over 10 days equaling 11 gigs of space. I plan to cull out the duplicates and give each person a flash drive with the best pictures. Here are some favorites from our tri…
On our final day of touring we started by ascending to the Temple Mount, site of Solomon’s Temple, Herod’s Temple, and the site of Mount Moriah where Abraham offered Isaac (Genesis 22). Since 691 AD it has also been the site of the Dome of the Rock, the third holiest site in Islam. Muslims believe that the Prophet Muhammed ascended to h…
