On this day, May 17, 250 years ago, Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon preached what Rev. Kevin DeYoung called "one of the most significant sermons in American history..." 

The message, based on Psalm 76:10, was entitled The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men. Rev. DeYoung wro...

Joyce and I were on Headline Prayer Live today:

The title and subtitle of this post are two of the articles we covered, and the YouTube image shares another. 

Yesterday's Headline Prayer Live was filled with complex issues. Good thing we spent time inviting the God of all creation into them.

Here's my latest article: 

Will Mayor Mamdani Protect Christian and Jewish Schools?

I'm working on an article for Intercessors for America, and when I told our friend and neighbor, Michael V. Austin, about it, he told me the following story, which he kindly wrote up:

It was March 1, 1997, when President Bill Clinton, Hillary, and Chelsea (plus friends) hit Broadway for a matine...

My article "Anne Frank Exhibit Confronts Mamdani’s Antisemitism" ran today on www.HeadlinePrayer.org:

I prayed for you and our 250th Anniversary:

Joyce and I were blessed to close out the year with Intercessors for America's Headline Prayer Live:

I was blessed to do a dramatic reading of Isaiah 9:1-6 for our Christmas Eve service for Westchester Chapel. Dr. Linda Warren gave the message:
