From the Frontlines

The sound came suddenly. It descended upon the chapel like thunder rolling over the hills growing louder and louder upon its approach. It came like a violent wind entering the room and overwhelming the 60 young people who had gathered that evening. The effect was instantaneous. Everyone fell upon their faces and began crying out […]

We must always remember that Christ is our eternal king. That means He is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all. Everything belongs to Him. Everything means everything. Your life, your will, your words and even your possessions are His. Let Him do with them as He sees fit. Jesus said,

Some say holiness is old-fashioned. I disagree. It’s God-fashioned! Hebrews 12:14 makes that abundantly clear by compelling the true Christ-follower to pursue holiness, “without which no one will see the Lord.” Perhaps an encounter with God is not what some are after. However all those who desire to plunge themselves into the depths of His

It had been a long journey through the forest and hills of Kentucky just to make it to the log cabin church in Cane Ridge yet tens of thousands found the outcome to be well worth the effort. Barton Stone, the pastor at the Presbyterian Church there, had sent word far and wide inviting everyone

The bright summer sun was casting its long golden beams through a canopy of trees onto a group of children, playing in a nearby park. As they ran through a clearing they happened upon a strange man who was standing still in the middle of a single shaft of light. In his hand was a

There it was, written in 10-inch letters on the roadside marquee of a little country church. “Revival This Week With Evangelist Daniel Norris.” When I saw it, it made me chuckle a little on the inside. That statement always amuses me. The very idea that we can organize revival is a rather strange idea to me. If

Beware! Sharing this could now be considered as an offense worth firing someone over in the United States of America. Last week was yet another wake-up call to anyone who cares about faith and freedom. Fox News reported that Dr. Eric Walsh, a public health expert who also volunteers as a pastor with his church

The best-selling book of all time just made a top 10 list of the most frequently challenged books in America. I’m surprised it wasn’t number one.   Every year the American Library Association publishes a list of challenged and banned books in an effort to inform “about censorship efforts that affect libraries and schools.” The

There is a story I share in Receptivity: Tuning into God’s Voice that illustrates how our position before God affects our receptiveness to God. The story comes from a time when I found myself in the office of my friend and mentor evangelist Steve Hill. This mighty man of God had been used as a

“Arise and awaken church for the future of your nation rests within your hands!” Those were the words I heard in my spirit as I prayed this morning. At the same time I saw a large, brass balance scale and I heard, “Can you not weigh out truth and judge what is righteous? Let the

Sunday night in a rare address from the Oval Office, President Obama spoke to the nation about the growing threat of terrorism from ISIL. Just a few months ago the President dismissed the group as a “JV squad.” Now, after attacks in Paris and here at home in California, they have earned a prime-time presidential

Now that the “brew ha-ha” over the #MerryChristmasStarbucks controversy has cooled, it’s worth taking a look back to see what might be learned. In the rare chance you missed it, last week a self-proclaimed “social media evangelist” threw a double-shot of espresso in the face of Starbucks’ supposed war on Christmas. His accusation seemed outrageous.
