I offer you six helpful insights that can turn this time of stress and uncertainty into a season for going deeper and stronger in your walk with Jesus.

This blog post is adapted from a message I gave in late January to 300 leaders at the 30th annual, 48-hour Pastors’ Prayer Summit in New York City.

Reflections on a 75-year journey with Christ. Expectations about the adventures that lie ahead. All of it powerfully relevant for every Jesus follower today!

Did you watch it? All the way through? Was anybody else there in the room with you? The reactions this week to this extravagant spectacle that took place Super Bowl Sunday are all over YouTube and social media—and in newspaper opinion pages across the land.

Happy New Year, everyone! It’s 2020! We’re a few days into it and so far, so good. No major catastrophes thus far. But what lies ahead? That’s the problem, right? We’re wondering and worrying about what lies ahead because we know by experience that tough things are coming.

This year is about more than a New Year’s RESOLUTION. It is about a New Year’s REVOLUTION designed to transform your daily walk with Christ throughout this year—and for the rest of your life.

The next time you sing “O Come Let Us Adore Him” this season, how would you like to be adoring Jesus with a whole new understanding of how incredibly worthy of praise he is because of the “invasion” of his incarnation?

I was moved to tears as I peered into what is believed to be the prison cell of the Apostle Paul in Philippi, Greece. It is from one of many horrific cave-carved jail cells that Paul wrote some of the most inspiring words ever penned. My mind was flooded with verse after verse that has shaped, transformed, and guided my life.

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!

May 30, 2020. In cities and communities across America and beyond, churches will unite to parade through their downtowns, singing the praises of Jesus as Lord and King of all.

David and Kim Butts, leaders of America’s National Prayer Committee and the national training organization, Harvest Prayer Ministries, have just written a book that answers both questions—and more! Titled Vertical with Jesus: A 30-Day Journey to Impact Kingdom Living, it is full of rich insights and helpful steps.

On 9/11, 2001, I stood near my home on a mountain crest called Washington Rock Park. From this vantage point in 1777, George Washington monitored the movements of British troops in the New Jersey valley. From this rock, one can see the entire skyline of New York City just 20 miles away.

Sitting in prison, broken and defeated, the Emperor Napoleon made an amazing assessment of Christ.

In my last blog post I shared with you the amazing story of Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, and how he built his organization from $10,000 to a trillion-dollar operation in just 25 years.

“Hate has no place here!” So declared Donald Trump after dozens of our citizens perished at the hands of two heavily armed young men in El Paso and Dayton.

Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, went from quitting his job to becoming the world’s wealthiest person in just 25 years! How did he do it? By his testimony, he did it by following his “Regret Minimization Framework.”

On Saturday, June 29th, the Times Square area in New York City was turned into a
Holy Temple. King Jesus was presiding. He made it His square.

Today, far too many Christians and churches across America find themselves captive to a paralyzing “crisis of Christology”—a disastrous shortfall in how we see, seek, savor, and speak of God’s Son for ALL he is right now as Lord and King of all.

This month “Saturate New York” has completed, for the third year in a row, a five-week initiative involving hundreds of NYC churches working together in all five boroughs called JESUS WEEK XL.
