Note: This story ran on Charismamag.com in 2013. Every one of us has incredible stories to tell. Our religious backgrounds are wonderfully different. We all have a myriad of mentors, some who have moved on to their reward, others who are still sowing into our lives. I was raised Lutheran. Now I’m probably a Luther-costal. …

Note From Daniel Norris: My friends, I can‘t help but feel heavy at this moment—perhaps you feel the same. The news that has broken over the past few days, not weeks, shows how quickly our world is spiraling into chaos. Things are no longer as they once were. I wept as I heard the stories …
Editor’s Note: Steve Hill passed away earlier this year. This is one of his classic articles. Throughout the Bible, we find those who were willing to become “risky radicals” for God. These men and women put their all on the line for Him, and as a result, God used them to do the impossible and to …

Editor’s note: Sunday, March 9, Steve finished his race. Oh, to have seen that moment when he saw Jesus for the very first time and heard Him say, “Well done.” He lived every day of his life for that moment. It is truly fitting that we would post this article of his this week as we celebrate …
It happened in Spain while holding a street crusade. For 10 days, we had been faithfully witnessing on the streets with a team of more than 100 young people. We had handed out more than 25,000 pieces of literature. Our drama team performed several times a day. They were awesome and incredible, yet no one …
The other day I picked up my Bible, opened to the Gospels and began to read only the words printed in red. Yes, every word of Scripture is God-breathed, but for this devotion I simply wanted to emphasize the words of Christ. I had barely turned a few pages before tears began to well up …
Last week, hundreds of thousands of tumbleweeds blew into Clovis, N.M., but didn’t blow back out. This small town was buried under an avalanche of tumbleweeds. Residents had to call 911 for help getting out of their homes. The problem was so big, the National Guard was called in to help battle the tumbleweed invasion. …

Jeri and I have moved 30 times in the last 35 years of our ministry. That may seem too unnerving for some to consider. We have no regrets. Each and every move was part of this great adventure we have been on as we journey through this world on our way to the next. More …
My wife, Jeri, and I are certified scuba divers. It is one of our favorite activities to do together. We thrive on the excitement of exploring the underwater world teeming with the life of colorful reefs and exotic fish. A few years back, while on vacation, we decided to take a day and charter a …
I had been a Christian for a few months. Like many of us, I was young, radical, totally devoted and driven by miracles. I lived every waking moment expecting something from my heavenly Father. Do you remember what life was like prior to meeting Christ? How every step, every decision, each day that unfolded was …

The other day a middle-aged “mature” Christian blurted out a statement that shot like a rocket through my spirit. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “I am so bored with life. I’m fed up with everything.” Why did his words have such an impact on my life? Why should these words refuse …
One of my daughters recently made the commitment of her lifetime. The young man was almost speechless as he returned the perpetual pledge. Jeri and I wept as we watched these two young Christians dedicate themselves to one another in front of a massive crowd of witnesses both here and in heaven. What was really …
The term profiling is relatively new in today’s vocabulary. It became nationally popular in the early 80s, when the public suspected and targeted a person, or persons, on the basis of some characteristic, behavior, color, race or religion. This has become known as profiling, usually carrying a negative connotation. Before jumping into biblical profiling, which is a major step in …

For some reason known only to the Lord I am reminded of a dear saint of God who would be spiritually crushed by the lack of depth in today’s Christian world. Of course, I can’t speak for him, but I can speak about him. He was radically saved by the grace and mercy of God. …
