Human trafficking is a $150 Billion dollar business. It is in my opinion the greatest epidemic and evil of our lifetime. We have come a long way with race relations but we need to agree on that snatching, stealing and holding anyone against their will (regardless of age or race) is demonic and DEAD wrong! [...]
We are so thankful to share that our radio and television ministry is airing weekly to over 200 million homes on FOUR continents. We were booked to preach in TEN countries this year in 2020 but when COV19 came many of our bookings came to a halt. The Lord impressed on us three things. 1) [...]

After working just shy of five years with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association as State Coordinator for Maryland, Delaware, Northern Virginia & Washington, DC it was an honor to learn from some of the very best.

This week I had the honor to have dinner at Mar-a-lago, the home of the President of the United States of America in gorgeous Palm Beach, Florida. Some have been blessed to visit and dine at The White House but not everyone has been invited to share a meal in the private home of a [...]
This week the Lord opened the door for a delegation to travel to the United Nations in NYC to discuss ways with Ambassador Garcia and Chairwoman Madelyn Rodriguez how we can collaborate as Christians to IMPACT culture and change the climate. It has been said, "Evil triumphs when good men and women do NOTHING." Christianity [...]
Latin Pop Star, SHAKIRA sings a song called WAKA WAKA and in the chorus is a line that says, "This Time For Africa." For the third year in a row, I was invited by Dr. Joseph Serwadda and Dr. Chuck Balsamo, respectively to preach at the PASSOVER New Year's Eve Celebration held at the iconic [...]

This week the revered reverend, Dr. Billy Graham turned 99 years old and BGEA is celebrating all year as he turns the corner into living a century. Very few live to be one hundred and even fewer know firsthand what it has been like to be used by God like this gentle giant from North [...]
Since childhood, I have been a HUGE Mel Gibson fan. From Mad Max to Braveheart, The Patriot to four installments of "Lethal Weapon" and his masterful depiction of "The Passion of Christ" was Divine. Literally! Even his final fight in Expendables 3 with Stallone was great and when my good friend, Pastor Brian Alarid asked [...]
It has been three weeks and I am still digesting and processing what God did in our midst in Monroeville, Alabama. Some skeptics suggest revivals are obsolete, tents are outdated and evangelism is out the window simply because it is too hard or offensive. One respected church leader said years ago, "It's not that [...]
As a child, I recall being invited to attend the local theater and it was music to my ears when my parents said, "I Got You Covered." It was pure excitement to enter and escape for [...]
Kenny and "Chopper" were two brothers. They were adopted and frequented the church I came to faith in JESUS as a child. They were African American and I was born into a middle class white family. Together we were "ebony and ivory." We were brothers in Christ and I looked up to them in more [...]
HARD TO BELIEVE but it will be eight years this summer that I stepped out "By Faith" on July 27, 2007 and left the benefits, prestige and salary of Capitol Hill to preach the Gospel forsaking retirement, health insurance and job security to do the work of an evangelist. Ironically, I didn't have a single [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
