I’ll be on the radio for two hours every day next week on American Family Radio (AFR). I’m sitting in for Tim Wildmon who will be leading a tour to the Holy Land. I’ll be co-hosting “Today’s Issues” from 10 AM-12 Noon (CDT) Monday through Friday. We’ve got a full lineup of guests, including Michele Washam (…
Years ago I knew a Christian counselor who often repeated one key phrase. “You’re only as sick as your secrets.” Then he would add: “If you’ve got a lot of secrets, you’re really sick.” When we sin, everything within us screams out “Cover it up.

Last year Broadman and Holman published an updated edition of Leadership Lessons of Jesus that I co-wrote with Bob Briner. The publisher took the two smaller volumes that appeared in 1997 and 1998 and reissued them in a slightly revised fashion last year.

Jesus corrected John with words these simple, insightful words:”Do not stop him. No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say any…
It’s been awhile since my last Bible Bus update. Since then I have finished reading through these books of the Bible:
Yesterday at the beginning of our broadcast on American Family Radio, Tim Wildmon turned to me and said, “What’s on your heart, Ray?” I told them that everywhere I travel, people express their concern about the direction of our country. That includes, but is not limited to, the current economic crisis. In many cases these uncertai…
Ophthalmology is the branch of medicine dealing with diseases and surgery of the eye. I know a little bit about that, having had five surgeries on my eyes over the course of a five year period. I am enough of an expert to know this much. When you are looking for an ophthalmologist, you want someone who knows what he is doing, who doesn’t oper…
