  • Fat and Lazy

    "... I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing ..." (Rev 3:17) I was at a High School baseball game last night, and as I was looking around at the crowd, I noticed how many people were fat. Not just "beefy" or "heavy", but plain ol' fat! This is not an isolated scene, but is endemic across America. How'd we get so fat? I don...

  • Soroti, Uganda

    Okay, I'm telling you ahead of time, that's it's going to be hard to believe all this stuff – I hardly believe it myself and I was the guy that was there. I have been in northern Uganda for the past two weeks. A week in Tororo, and a week in the bush 50 km outside of Sororti. Last week was good, but not supernatural. If all I am coming here to...

    “A religion of mere emotion and sensationalism is the most terrible of all curses that can come upon any people.  The absence of reality is sad enough, but the aggravation of pretence is a deadly sin.”  - Samuel Chadwick Sound like any of the churches you’ve been to lately? Or like some of the televangelists that swarm the airwaves...

    Lately, I’ve been putting together some video clips from my last trip to Uganda to post on my website. Watching them reminded me how great it felt to be in those services.  That, and what a contrast they were to the services here back in the USA  last Sunday.  What a difference! When I share these videos of wildly exuberant praise...

    " Thus saith the Lord God; woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!" Ezekiel 13:3 About now, I'm sure you've had your fill of all the prophesies for this new year. This is going to be the year that God is going to do this and do that, move here and move there. This is the year of your deliverance, of...

    “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then, I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14) We know this verse well. We hear it quoted often when America faces challenging times – as we are today. Thi...

  • Returning to Our Roots

    July 22nd, 201010:18 AM ET
    By Michael Youssef
    What happens to a tree when its root system is destroyed? The tree can no longer access the nutrients it needs, and it begins to weaken. The leaves wilt, the branches droop, the fruit ceases to grow. Eventually, the tree dies. America was formed and developed from biblical roots, but today our leaders chop away at our foundation. They deny the core...

  • Can There Be a Christian Nation?

    June 10th, 201012:15 PM ET
    By Michael Youssef
    Recently I was challenged by a dear friend over the use of the phrase "Christian nation." His question was: "How can you say America is a Christian Nation?" "How can a country be Christian?" In many ways he is right. A country, or even a culture, cannot be Christian - only individuals can be Christians. When people speak of America's Christian h...

  • First Impressions

    I'm sitting here at a sidewalk café overlooking the ocean enjoying the morning breeze.  Cape Verde - or Cabo Verde as they like to say it here - is just what I thought a tropical resort island would be like.  The air is clean and very clear, the sun is strong, and there is a faint wisp of that tropical feeling.  The houses are...

  • The Royal Falcons

    By Dale Garris
    "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. Jeremiah 23:21 I still remember the name of the gang - the Royal Falcons. We were just kids, young punks on the streets of Jersey, but we thought we were cool - tough guys like the Mafia. Don't mess with us ‘cause we're the Royal Falcons! There ...
