On January 5, 2021, we witnessed flags in the hands of some of the assailants at the Capitol that read, “An Appeal to Heaven.” This past week, I was Zooming with a friend. I could see posted on the back wall of his office the same banner: “An Appeal to Heaven.”

Dateline 12/02/2130: Kent, Ohio, USA. It’s 11 AM on a Saturday morning in early December. I’m standing on the Commons of Kent State University in NE Ohio, which serves over 44,000 students.

Here’s a great way to expand the spiritual impact of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons! Spend the next ten minutes with me, and let’s explore the two questions above.

In an interview, David Bryant challenged the students to spread Christ awakening movement in their campuses. Because it is a urgent need of the time.

I ask and answer whether it is proper for Christians even to recognize Halloween, let alone celebrate it—let alone be HAPPY because of it!

After the events of this past Wednesday, that IS the question of the hour.
After the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk, many are saying that America is standing at an “inflection point.” The term can be defined like this:

On Saturday, April 19, modern patriots gathered in New England to commemorate the anniversary of the American Revolution by reenacting the opening engagements at Lexington and Concord. The gunfire between the British troops and American colonists is often referred to as \”the shot heard ‘round the world.\” Eventually, the uprising that began there culminated in the founding of America, which has brought 250 years of global transformations.

Fall is just around the corner. What dreams do you have about serving Jesus as summer comes to an end in September?

Remember waking up this morning? Gradually you became aware it was morning. You saw your clothes right there waiting for you, so you got up, put them on, and got on with your day.

Worldwide, millions are praying for Christians to become visibly united around the glory of Christ and the cause of Christ!

As a young pastor, the first memorial service I led was for twin daughters swept away by birth defects. The second involved a young boy swept away by cancer. My third was for a teen swept away while swimming. My fourth honored the life of a young man swept from this world by a reckless driver.

Do you want to see YOUR church waking up to the glory of Christ as part
of a sweeping revival across the whole of America?

As you know, on Easter weekend, we celebrated the 250 th year of the beginning of the first
American Revolution in 1775 with the “shot heard ‘round the world” at Lexington and Concord.
Look at what was brought forth in 2025 from that small beginning of one proactive movement
commenced by common, everyday citizens: the greatest nation, on many levels, the world has
ever seen!

Is that the hunger you’re feeling right now? Are you longing to know more about the glory of Jesus? Are you eager to experience more of the power of Jesus? Are you ready to become more for the purposes of Jesus?

The keys of death were hung on the inside of Christ’s tomb. From the outside, Christ could do many wonderful works, including raising a twelve-year-old girl and two men from the dead—only to die again. If any were to be raised from the dead, never to die again, Christ would have to die for them, enter the tomb, take the keys, and unlock the door of death from the inside (John Piper).

On December 13, 1931, on a New York City street, Winston Churchill was struck by a car going 30 miles per hour. Said the future Prime Minister: “I do not know why I was not broken like an eggshell or squashed like a gooseberry.” What if he had been killed? Then what might have been the outcome of World War II, not only for Britain but also for the world?

Is “gory” too repulsive a term for us to use in describing the way Christ died for us? Is it the kind of image we should toss around at Eastertime?

Come with me to Cincinnati. Along the banks of the Ohio River sits one of the most startling museums in America: The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Just as often happens at a similar but larger museum on the National Mall, a day spent at the Center often leaves visitors shaken to the core.

Hello, my brothers and sisters in Jesus!
I hope this letter won’t be seen as my trying to get sympathy for a personal medical condition. Not at all. Instead, I want to share a fresh insight with you about the person of our marvelous Lord Jesus Christ.

Who could have imagined it? A poor, homeless outcast—a worthless executed criminal—reigns today as King of the cosmos, Lord of history, Ruler of the nations, Redeemer of sinners, and Head of a new creation!
