“O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out to you by day. I come to you at night. Now hear my prayer; listen to my cry. For my life is full of troubles, and death draws near… My eyes are blinded by my tears. Each day I beg for your help, O Lord; I lift my hands to you for mercy… You have taken away my companions and loved ones. Darkness is my closest friend” (Psalm 88:1-9, 13-18 NLT).

I have been thinking a lot about things in our culture that are anemic, or in a coma, or near death. People sometimes ask me why there aren’t more miracles in our culture. There are about five reasons why this is the case in America. Most people think we need to pray more often with more people and believe more. I guess they have a point, but how is that working out? The primary reason for fewer miracles in our culture is simple. We are in an “evangelistic coma.” In your Bible, you will see that miracles are most prevalent […]

My daughter Ariel is away at college in New York, so I’d like to share what I have found to be unusual in a lovely way. When Ariel was like six or seven, her mom Joyce was, and still is, an avid and committed aerobics work out fanatic and all about health and like organic everything. Anyway, each night after a day of eating taste-free cardboard-like “food,” I would trek to the refrigerator for a nightly bowl of rich, sugar-loaded sweet-tasting ice cream on my shelf in the freezer, and I would whisper to Ariel… “Ariel, sweetie, want daddy to […]

The Easter bombings of churches and hotels in Sri Lanka remind us that it is dangerous to be a practicing Christian today in many parts of the world. The Wall Street Journal reports, “There were at least eight explosions, most blamed on suicide bombers. Six of the attacks were coordinated and were carried out by seven suicide bombers, according to a preliminary examination of scattered body parts by the country’s official experts.” The bombs, of course, went off on the high Christian holiday of Easter, killing almost 300 people. And the Journal adds, “Authorities took 24 people into custody in connection with […]

When families and veterans are facing homelessness, sometimes all they need is a little hope, someone to come alongside them and a hand up to get back on their feet.
