The Jim Bakker Show

I recently had the opportunity to visit with Jim and Lori Bakker, and their whole family and community in southern Missouri. I truly fell in love with everyone there.

Strengthening the Underground Church in the Middle East

When working with the underground Church, there are obviously many things that simply cannot be said publicly online. So I am extremely limited in sharing the full details of my next ministry trip.

Responding to the beheading of 21 Christians in Libya

On February 15, 2015, the Islamic State in Libya released another gruesome video of 21 Coptic Christians being beheaded on the beach in Libya. A screen shot below captures the scene moments before the men were beheaded by the Muslim mujahideen. Having watched portions of the video, my emotions are profoundly stirred. I rarely weep. […]

My desire has been to minister to both the local believers, as well as the refugees and displaced peoples. I was privileged to […]

The 2,300 Evenings and Mornings of Daniel 8

One of the Danielic passages that has plagued interpreters is Daniel 8:14, wherein two angels, Gabriel and another, are discussing the vision of Daniel 8, specifically the little horn, the desolating sacrilege he will carry out against the Jewish temple, and how long it will take for these things to be completed, until the temple […]

Arab Spring / Christian Winter

The relevance of Islamic Eschatology finally hits the mainstream media

In 2004, when I first penned my book Islamic Antichrist (first called Antichrist: Islam’s Awaited Messiah), I was convinced that understanding the relevance of Islamic eschatology was a critical factor that Christians as well as simple geopolitical analysts were missing. Now, ten years later, the mainstream media seems to be catching on to the fact […]
