Hurricane Harvey, summer of 2017. We are sick of hearing about it, and we are not. It’s heart wrenching and heartwarming at once. On August 22, the wind howled while the black stormy sky dumped 50 inches of rain in the Houston area. Some heeded warnings and “got of of Dodge” in time, while others…

About the Royal Wedding…
A European couple gets married — and in a church — honors traditional values and the sanctity of marriage. Yes, the royal wedding was an important statement in our world today.

His Big Shoes
Evangelist, pastor, writer, speaker, and radical life changer, Reverend David Wilkerson, died in a car accident yesterday in Texas.

The media endeavors to soften the rhetoric by saying that anti-Zionism is not…
