I want to give “THANKS” to our Lord for His blessings this past weekend. Some of the highlights for me were: Seeing everyone Sunday. Even with 2,000 people on campus, I was able to speak with a lot of them and it was great. I loved the way so many of you hung out before… Read More »

Praying for His Glory

The French President rightly called last night’s ISIS terror attacks on Paris an “act of war.” He added that ISIS is “a terrorist army … a jihadist army, against France, against the values that we defend everywhere in the world, against what we are: A free country that means something to the whole planet.”… Read More »
Chapter Seventeen
Every time I read chapter 17 I feel like I’m getting a look into the heart and soul of Jesus. The entire chapter is a record of Jesus’ prayer immediately before He was arrested in the garden.
