  • To Those Seeking to Destroy the Church of Jesus Christ on Holy Week
    Posted on Sunday, April 9th, 2017 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: blood of the saints, Christian martyrs, church bombings in Egypt, ISIS, Palm Sunday, persecuted church, pray for our enemies, we will not fear

    To Those Seeking to Destroy the Church of Jesus Christ on Holy Week, You think if you spray the walls of our churches with our blood, this will silence the truth. In truth, blood is nothing new to the church. The blood of Jesus Christ was shed for us all. The blood of those slain by humans cries out to our Father God and He hears the testimony of the dead. The …[ read more ]

  • The Silence of God’s Lambs – Our Responsibility to the Persecuted Church
    Posted on Monday, January 16th, 2017 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: how to support Christians who suffer, interceding for those who are persecuted, Martin Luther King, Open Doors, persecuted church, praying for the persecuted church, silence

    Last week, I was stricken with a painful infection, one that had me in agony for several long hours. All I could comprehend was pain. My entire focus was on accessing relief. Driven to secure a solution, in four short hours I called my doctor’s office three times and the pharmacy twice. When I finally …[ read more ]

  • Go Ahead! Get Mad at This Post! I Want You To . . .
    Posted on Tuesday, September 27th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: bring it on, easily offended, offending Christians, persecuted church, persecution, preparing for persecution, sensitive Christians, sensitive to the Holy Spirit, taking offense, witnessing for Jesus

    No one should have to walk on eggshells around people who can walk on water. That’s what I think. There are Christians who are sensitive to the Holy Spirit and then there are touchy religious people who take offense at every turn. Which we are, is largely up to us. I once met with a group …[ read more ]

  • What Responsibility Do Christians Bear for ISIS?
    Posted on Saturday, September 10th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Christians, fearless, helping persecuted Christians, In Defense of Christians, ISIS, Kim Jong-un, North Korea, persecuted church, terrorism, The Philos Project, unafraid, what can I do for the persecuted church, without fear

    I faced a hard question this week. It came to me on my knees. So much conversation is in the air about who is responsible for ISIS. What president is most to blame for their existence? Which candidate is most likely to eradicate them? What nation should be addressing them? How does our culture contribute …[ read more ]

  • Why Some Christians Enjoy Safety, Health, and Peace
    Posted on Saturday, August 20th, 2016 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Christians in danger, danger, disease, does praying make a difference, endtimes, frightening times, I am afraid, John the Baptist, living the gospel, Mark 1, persecuted church, prayers of the saints, safe Christians, tame God, terrorism, why pray, wild God, wilderness, wildfires

    God is never afraid. He doesn’t fear Somalian warlords, the Zika virus, suicide bombers, desert assassins, inner-city riots, California wildfires, Louisiana floods, lone gunmen, or cancer. The presence of these varying forms of violence, whether manmade, natural, or biological, doesn’t prevent the God of the Universe from being present. It doesn’t chase Him out. He …[ read more ]

    Lori, Our Lord never ceases to amaze.. you have succeeded in disturbing this Hobbit! I have been struggling with spiritual apathy and indifference recently and reading your witty, convicting, engaging, infuriating writings has helped me to realize that I am in good company. They have also given me the kick-start I need to get off my laurels! Keep looking up..keep going on for the Lord dear sister-in-Christ!
