  • Persecution Guaranteed

    After the siege of Rome in 1849, Giuseppe Garibaldi said to his soldiers, “Men, all our efforts against superior forces have been unavailing. I have nothing to offer you but hunger and thirst and hardship and death. But I call upon you who love your country to join me.” In a similar way, after the allies were forced to evacuate Dunkirk in 1940...

  • Sheep Among Wolves

    When I escaped from the Middle East more than 40 years ago with only the clothes I was wearing, I had every reason to turn my back on the people who persecuted me. But God changed my heart. And that’s why I want to share a key verse that the Lord used to help me understand why I had to love those who hated me. Jesus said to the disciples in Matt...

  • God Save America

    By Michael Youssef
    I am concerned for America. I am deeply concerned for Christians in America. While God is on the throne, is sovereign, and has assured us that He will protect His children, we are facing a tsunami of change in this country like none I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. Today, there is an all-out assault on Christians and our faith. Christians ha...

  • We Preach Christ

    June 28th, 201010:12 AM ET
    By Michael Youssef
    In these perilous days, the Lord Jesus Christ is separating the sheep from the goats; the wheat from the tare. While these are days of unprecedented opportunity for Gospel ministry and harvest for the Kingdom of God, it is also a time of great attack on the church both from within and without. Compromise and dilution of the pure Gospel of the Lord...

  • Jesus and the Good News about Suffering

    By Jeff Goins
    It's about time that we in America were a little more honest -- about life and about our spirituality. Let's face it: life is hard. There are lay-offs and kids with runny noses and sleepless nights and stupid bosses. This should be no surprise to you that times can be tough. No, that's not to say that every day is an insurmountable challenge to o...

  • Send Me

    We’re heading home tonight. I’m sitting here at my hotel in Nairobi, looking out the window and wondering if I will ever be back again. I go through this almost every time. It’s a bittersweet feeling leaving this place. I am worn out and spent after dozens of services in a score of little churches throughout Kenya, but exhilar...

  • She Shall Be Saved in Childbearing

    Revival is coming to Kenya.  It isn't just something that's in the air; it's in their hearts. I listened to a lady from the U.S. as she told me how great the praise and worship services were in Kenya.  It's not the praise and worship that gets me excited -- it's the altar calls. In church after church, I have presented a message of re...

  • Is the Gospel of Jesus Still Relevant?

    June 19th, 200906:18 AM ET
    By Jeff Goins
    I recently had a debate with a friend, regarding sharing the gospel and cultural relevance. He asked me, "What's the worst that could happen if you unwaveringly shared the gospel with someone, not caring about being sensitive to their situation or culturally relevant?" His reasoning was sound, and it challenged me. I had grown up in an irreligious...

  • Transforming Society from Inside Out: Christian Calls to Return to an Acts Community

    January 26th, 200910:42 AM ET
    By Anthony Horvath
    Nietzchke said that the last Christian died on the cross. The charge is not fair, of course. At the very least, there is no denying that the first generation Christians possessed a potent message backed up by an amazing witness in their lives. I see no reason not to be impressed by the deeply transformed Peter, Paul, John, James the brother of J...
