Today, I simply wanted to show you a picture. Last week, while working in Poipet suddenly I realized that we had a whole bunch of nations represented. The nations of the world are converging on this dirty border town to bless them in the name of Jesus! Have a look: We have w
The first 7 years of my life were mostly spent in Iowa, but after that I have circled the globe so many times I can’t even count it. Yet, oddly, the site of a John Deere tractor still feels like home to me. When I see rolling fields with perfect rows of corn and beans, or the
John MacArthur recently held a conference specifically to attack “Charismatic” Christians. The conference called “Strange Fire” was on October 16-18, 2013 at Grace Community Church, Southern California. John MacArthur is the pastor of Grace Community Church

I am an American citizen. I own two guns. One is a 12 gauge shotgun and the other an antique WWII era Soviet rifle. Many times I wish I had more guns. I would love a deer hunting rifle, a .22 with a clip which holds about 50 rounds so I could have fun ‘target’ practicin
I arrived after a long trip in Houston, TX, together with my wife, to speak at Kingsland Baptist Church to speak at a special missions service. Upon arrival at the airport I heard the news of a mass shooting of 27 young children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown
Last night after a special evening service I came home about midnight and checked my e-mails before I slept. In my inbox was an e-mail telling me about a missionary who was killed. IMB (Southern Baptist) missionary Cheryll Harvey’s body was found murdered. Cheryll was sent out from
