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 [...]
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. [...]
It was my privilege to return yesterday to the great First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, MD and worship the Lord. Dr John K Jenkins, senior pastor of the 11,000 member church is passionate about making dynamic disciples for JESUS. He is the brother-in-law to one of my best friends, Stevie Prather and [...]
This is post NINE of a ten part blog. Check back each Monday for a new submission. Well, it has been fun to share some spiritual secrets that worked well for me the past 32 years walking with my Lord. I pray you have been blessed from these Heavenly hints and as this proverbial plane [...]
Professional basketball to me is not the same. Perhaps it is because I am getting older or the fact that since Michael, Magic & Bird retired the game isn't as appealing to me. I must admit that this season (particularly the playoffs were fun to watch). I love to watch "MARCH MADNESS" because those collegiate [...]
UPWARD is one of the most exciting, encouraging and evangelistic outreaches that I know. In life, I have a passion for my Savior, spouse, son (and daughter), siblings, sports and souls. It is my privilege to be a nationally endorsed speaker for both www.Upward.org and www.Compassion.com Both groups are PHENOMENAL at reaching others with the [...]
We all worry at times. Jesus embodies faith yet talked about us overcoming our fear. Constantly Christ commanded: "FEAR NOT!" Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. When we worry we worship anxiety NOT the Almighty. The Bible notes: "Perfect PEACE whose mind is stayed on thee (God)." I have found that when we worship more [...]
Thirty five years and countless critics later, Sylvester Stallone is NUMBER ONE (again) at the box office. It will be 25 years to the date on Sept 13, 2010 that my Godmother, Judy Henderson and I (age 13) spent the weekend in Hollywood, CA in 1985 to meet my favorite action hero after winning a RAMBO [...]
A teacher asked a classroom filled to capacity: "If you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior come forward right now." Not a soul moved. She asked again and the room was silent. It seemed slow motion, hearts raced, palms sweated and eyes darted to see if anyone else would [...]
JESUS & JAMAICA! What a combination!! The fact is, God loves the world so much that in the wise words of Max Lucado: "Jesus would rather die than live without you." It has been my privilege to be part of all three of Praisefest Ministries - "Cruise with a Cause" to the Bahamas (2006-2008). Dr [...]
Tony Nolan is one of the most gifted preachers of the Gospel that I know. He is former Student Minister at First Baptist Church of Woodstock, GA and he stepped out "by faith" to speak to hundreds of thousands of people annually. The beauty about that transition is that Tony didn't see all those open [...]
Beloved Evangelist Billy Graham is now 90 plus years old. In January 2000, civic leaders in Charlotte, North Carolina, invited their favorite son, Dr. Billy Graham, to a luncheon in his honor. Billy initially hesitated to accept the invitation because he struggles with Parkinson's disease. But the Charlotte leaders said, "We don't expect a [...]
Since the passing of Michael Jackson last week countless stories have broke and been broadcasted around the Globe. Some true, others speculation, most exaggeration but God only knows what is fact and reality. One story that has surfaced is that Grammy Winner Andrae Crouch met Michael weeks before his death in his rented [...]
The passing of Michael Jackson reminds me more than ever why I am an evangelist. This will not be a post to illuminate his mistakes (because that is God's job and one has to look very little to find mine). However, it will touch briefly on his success and remind all the importance of salvation. [...]
It is always fun to visit Dallas, TX. We just got home at midnight (last night) and I am feeling this morning like a muffler - EXHAUSTED. It was a wonderful trip and it was great reuniting with family and friends. Ruth's brothers and sisters live in Irving (just outside of the old [...]
On the beach, a retired senior citizen every day in the summer can be found collecting stranded starfish along the shoreline. For years, his routine consists of picking up the starfish and tossing them back into the sea. Day after day, month after month, year after year. A teenager on vacation with his [...]
