Death to the Tyrant Pride!

Pride may be destroying everything you care about! This issue of Revive dives deep into what I believe is the #1 indicator of maturity: an attitude of humility.  Yet, most of our world glorifies pride, and even celebrates its ability to make decisions apart from God (or anyone else). But we all know where pride leads ...

Will Your Domino Change the World?

What will it take to change the whole world? It is easy to believe that big, audacious, overwhelming plans are necessary to make a real impact on a world as complex and populated as ours.  But in this vision presentation for Life Action, I offer another perspective — that one decision in a person’s life ...

Turning Concept into Concrete

Christianity is not really about “believing” something.

We developed the Four-Question Challenge after ...

Say Two Words and Save Western Civilization 1

These two words don’t have anything to do with politics.  Or pop culture.  Or education.  Or the environment.  Or the military.  Or even church.  They transcend all of these. Two words that, if spoken by you (along with a few million others) would radically change the conversation in every sphere of national and personal life.  ...
