“Don’t count the days; make the days count. The real risk is doing nothing. Success is walking from failure to failure.” These are just a few of the famous quotes about leading accomplished lives. Nevertheless, success is indeed a complicated consideration whose timing is less than impeccable. By the age of six, Mozart was performing, and two years later he wrote his first symphony. Alexander the Great was conquering countries as a teenager and created the world’s most powerful empire prior to his death at the tender age of 33. Zuckerberg launched Facebook at 20 and soon thereafter became the […]

“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31 NKJV).   It is okay to ask questions. ln fact, there are more than 150 questions recorded in the gospels that came from the lips of our Lord Himself. And these are only the ones that were recorded and found their way into the sacred writ. Jesus was always asking questions. It did not matter whether He was in a one-on-one conversation, in a small circle of people, or in the midst of a gathering crowd, He probed the hearts of His hearers by asking questions. He […]

sleep

Sleep is an interesting behavior we all experience. We are hard wired to need it. Babies sleep a lot, almost as much as cats. Children need to sleep a lot but fight it because they don’t want to miss life. Adults, on the other hand, are all over the map. They say the average adult sleeps (or at least needs to sleep) between 7-9 hours a day, in essence, one third of our lives dedicated to sleeping. I know some people who seem to sleep a lot — they consider it a hobby — and others who hardly sleep; they […]

In our modern world, social media, rapidly evolving technologies, and global events can easily distract us from keeping our eyes on Christ. Today, we need leaders who prioritize compassion, humility, and unity over popularity. As Dr. Bryan Froehle of PBA’s School of Ministry shares below, leaders who want to impact the world for Christ must first surrender to God’s will. Lessons on leadership No matter how we identify ourselves as Christians, we can all learn something from the recent election of Pope Leo. Recent events were full of drama: the death of Pope Francis the day after Easter, the funeral […]

During the Vietnam War, Ronald Reagan spoke about why Americans must treasure their freedom: “Freedom is a fragile thing, and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction.” Similarly, Christians must contend for the faith in every generation. God has entrusted us with the responsibility to go “make disciples of all the nations” (Matthew 28:19) and to be His light “for salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47). That’s why I am so excited that more than a thousand pastors and ministry leaders from nearly 60 European countries gathered in Berlin, Germany, May 27-30, to recommit themselves […]

Patrick J. Kelly: Life at the Beach

We moved to the beautiful South Florida coast in 1988. As native New Yorkers, seeing the majesty of God’s creation at the beach quickly became a cherished time with family and friends. We would often take our young children, and now grandchildren, to soak in the sounds and the sights of the Atlantic Ocean. While the kids swam, played, built sandcastles and collected shells, we would reflect on the beauty of God’s creation so vividly surrounding us. More recently, on a calm water summer day, our grandchildren had the spontaneous experience of several manatees frolicking with them near the water’s […]
