Success = Slippery Slope
The gentleman above is Mr. Bobby Leach. He was the very first person to survive going over Niagra Falls in a barrel in 1911. With this white brother in a barrel perhaps that is where my favorite restaurant got their name - Cracker Barrel :) NO JOKE! Niagra Falls got its name from an Indian [...]
Eagle, Swan, Duck & Bird’s Eye View
The past 30 days have been AMAZING! Exactly one month ago (Sept 7, 2013), I had the privilege to minister at one of the Wash D.C. Metro largest mega churches for IGNITE youth event at McLean Bible Church in their Manassas, VA campus. My dear buddy, Matt Brown hosted it and I was blessed to [...]
…and a bag of “CHiPs”
Earlier this summer while speaking in Houston, TX I was able to connect with Hollywood actor and former "CHiPs" star, Erik Estrada. It is safe to say almost everyone loved "Ponch" back in the day. The girls wanted to date him and all the guys wanted to be like him! Today, he still does some [...]
SOUL WINNING
Jesus said: "You MUST be born again." It wasn't a suggestion but a statement from the only Savior known to mankind. The Scriptures note in Proverbs: "He that winneth souls is WISE." The Bible says in Daniel 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn [...]
One
Last year, while visiting California to tape a tv show at Trinity Broadcast Network studios (TBN) in Santa Ana I stopped by to visit the iconic Crystal Cathedral. Just weeks before, the legendary church called my cell while I was at home and inquired if I wanted to preach a Sunday sermon or give my [...]
Bono & JESUS
Yesterday, my dear friend and fellow Evangelist Randy Hogue texted me the quote below. It touched me so much that immediately I added a picture of Bono and shared it on FB and less than 18 hours it got over 144 shares and scores of comments. Literally, because of friends sharing it with their social [...]
Presidential Prayer
Two weeks ago, I was in a whirl-wind tour of ministering in the Great State of Georgia. I love the South and the last time I was there instead of the trademark Georgia Peach someone after hearing me speak called me "The Georgia Preach." In just eight days, I drove 3,004 miles (alone), preached eight [...]
Charles County REVIVAL – May 25, 2013
This has been an AWESOME week! On Sunday, April 21, 2013 it was a JOY to preach @ Streetlite Church in Baltimore, MD for Pastor Brian Zimmerman. They are literally blocks from Camden Yards and Super Bowl Champs Ravens Stadium. We had 18 SOULS SAVED at the morning worship and GOD SHOWED UP! Yesterday, it [...]
Our Dissapointments = Divine Appointment
It is my honor to serve on the advisory board of Praisefest Ministries God has allowed me to preach on all FIVE of their cruises. We have been to Bahamas, Jamaica and now Haiti in June 2014. Dr Matthew Dunaway asked me to be in a commercial to promote their "WATER & WORD" relief effort. [...]
TARGET
People ask me periodically why I shop at Walmart? With a smile but no less serious I share as a preacher of the Gospel I already have TARGET on my back! The truth is we are marked men (and women) when we live for God. The Bible reminds us "We are not ignorant of Satan's [...]
GOSPEL CRUISE FEST – Bahamas
Get COURAGEOUS and CRUISE for CHRIST Perhaps you saw the movie "Courageous" starring Alex Kendrick. Ruth & I have been invited by Gospel Cruise Fest to sail with Alex and minister on an upcoming cruise to Bahamas this November 11-16, 2013! My friend, Arnie Shipp is booking this BOAT (literally) and God is using him [...]
WEIGHTING on the LORD
Two years ago, on 1/1/11 I wrote a post "NO MORE EXCUSES." It was theraputic for me and helpful to others. Make no mistake, all of us are a WORK IN PROGRESS. I have come to the conclusion that folks are not inspired by excuses but execution. The Lord told me that it is better [...]
CHRISTmas 2012
This year has FLOWN by. Someone asked Dr. Billy Graham what surprised him most about life and without missing a beat the renown evangelist said: "BREVITY, how short it is." The Bible talks about our life being a "vapor." We are here today and could literally be gone tomorrow. In January 2012, I posted a [...]
CARRYING GREATNESS
Today, Friday Nov 16, is my bride, Ruth's birthday and just got home from watching 9:40AM showing of Spielberg's "LINCOLN." It was wonderful! I wrote two posts on FB earlier this week and we were blessed with over 100 comments. Some of you may know that in my family five consecutive generations of Washington DC [...]
JESUS in HD
Last month, on a leisure Friday afternoon I took my son, Andrew (turns four in January) to see "NEMO in 3-D" at the theater. It was a spur of the moment, un-planned, Daddy-Son date. Our 20 year old theater in my hometown of Waldorf, MD finally got a makeover adorned with brand new, red leather [...]
