In February, I attended the Kingdom Advisors annual conference, which gathered 2,500 Christian financial professionals who influence their clients to give generously to God’s kingdom. This is a picture of Ron Blue, the founder of Kingdom Advisors, and I being interviewed by Sharon Epps, who’s their president. We have a lot of fun together!   

It may seem that, compared to what we see in Scripture, visible miracles are very few and far between today. But greater invisible miracles are in fact are happening all the time around us as God regenerates hard human hearts. Hence, God is doing far more miracles than we realize.

In order to delight and meditate on the law of the Lord, we must understand correctly what Scripture actually says.

The presence of God is the essence of Heaven. John Milton put it, “Thy presence makes our Paradise, and where Thou art is Heaven.” Heaven will be a physical extension of God’s goodness.

The most liberating truth, the most happy-making reality, is that my redemption does not depend on me. It was accomplished by the God-Man Jesus. As Revelation 5 demonstrates, only Christ is worthy to accomplish redemption.

Tragically,  most people do not find their joy in Christ and Heaven. In fact, many people find no joy at all when they think about Heaven.

Yes, I think Genesis 1-2 is the best argument for caring for the earth since Adam and Eve were given responsibility for the garden and the animals.

When God calls upon us to deny ourselves and follow Him, what appears to be our loss is in fact our gain. Should we want to gain our lives or lose our lives? Losing our lives in Christ is the means to the end of joyfully gaining them!

A brand new book is out, The Good Investor by Robin C. John, that I think should be read by every Christ-follower who gives financial advice or invests in companies, even if it’s only through a retirement plan.
