I just returned from Indonesia, the most populated Muslim nation on earth. Currently 200 million Muslims live in this nation. But here is the good news! Every 15 seconds a Muslim becomes a follower of Jesus in Indonesia! Last year, 2 million Muslims received Jesus Christ as Lord in this nation! God is mightily at [...]
Samuel is my translator in Indonesia this week. He had been abandoned by his father and was a Buddhist at age 15, searching for God. Jesus appeared to Him one day. The Lord told him of His great love for him and he came to Christ. A few years later he was in a Christian [...]
About two weeks ago I was in India, a country of 1.2 billion people made up of 80 percent Hindus and 15 percent Muslims. Today I am in Malaysia where more than 60 percent of the population is Muslim. Next week I plan to be in Indonesia, the largest populated Muslim country in the world [...]
When I received Jesus Christ as my Lord at age 18, I was hungry to receive training from those who had been walking with God for years before me. I took in every local church Bible School and Training School I could find. I devoured teaching from Christian leaders who had paved the way before [...]
I spent the past week in three cities in India including Mysore, Bangalore and Kakinada. This nation of more than 1.2 billion people is set to become the largest populated nation in the world, bypassing China, by 2025. It is a highly religious nation with 80% Hindus, 15% Muslims, and 4% Christians. I met so [...]
Words are like dynamite. They can either be used powerfully for good or used powerfully for evil. Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” How can we speak with grace, seasoned with salt? When I was growing up, I [...]
A young lady in Philadelphia was enslaved in prostitution and drug abuse for years. When she surrendered her life to Jesus, she started wearing a cross-shaped earring to remind herself she was now a bondslave to Jesus, no longer in slavery to sin. Publicly carrying a cross in biblical days was the brand of a [...]
Sin is like cancer. If one of my family members had skin cancer on his arm, every time I would see it, I would hate it. That is how God feels about sin. He knows that sin will destroy the people that He has created to be in fellowship with Him. God loves us. He [...]
When I was involved in youth ministry, years ago, I used to tell the young people, “If you want friends, peace of mind, and things to work out in your life, come to Jesus. He will help you.” Many of the youth made a commitment to Jesus, but two months later they were back doing [...]
When I was in my mid-thirties, a popular song by an American pop singer contained the words: “God is watching us from a distance.” Unfortunately many people believe that concept of God. They see him as a distant, impersonal being, presiding over His creation disinterestedly. They think God seldom intervenes and only after our frenzied begging. Such a view is entirely incorrect.
