Leadership That Matters
In Jeremiah’s day, the religious leaders neglected their responsibility by declaring that everything was good. What about us? Do we declare peace when, from God’s perspective, there are deeply consequential issues that are not being addressed?
Read MoreAmerica in the Balance Bible Study
God has a purpose for nations in His redemptive plan, and He uses such things as a rising national debt, a gridlocked government, and deteriorating family structures to expose a nation’s spiritual waywardness.

Recently, I had two surprising conversations. In both cases, those whom I engaged were excited about President Trump’s accomplishments, such as: tax cuts, lower unemployment, the U.S. embassy in Israel moving to Jerusalem, and in addition to Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the Supreme Court, the further possibility of the court moving in a more conservative…

In addition to warning people about our nation’s trajectory (Jer. 18:7–10), God has called me to help Christians see much greater fruit (Acts 8:1–40). Indeed, “Enormous Fruit” was the title of my March 14 blog. However, recently I found myself getting off-track and experiencing less fruit. You might say I was becoming muddled in…

Linda Zebell, wife of Forerunners’ staff Timothy Zebell is today’s guest blogger, having written this in collaboration with her husband. Adrenaline flooded my body as I stood in line with my family.

For years I have found myself inspired by the enormous fruit that characterized Philip’s life (Acts 8:1–40). His ministry reads like an action thriller: on the run for his life, he fearlessly stops to proclaim the good news of Jesus in Samaria; the enemy is defeated at every turn; the lame walk, and the city…

Friday, outraged parent Randall Margraves lunged at sex offender Larry Nassar in a court room for violating his three daughters. This incident put sexual misconduct front and center in the news . . . again. Week after week, month after month, prominent people are losing their jobs over sexual improprieties, and are landing in court…
Read MoreNorth Korea—Is an Easy Fix What We Really Want?
Over the past few days, North Korea has launched a missile over Japan, detonated a hydrogen bomb (which was five times more powerful than any bomb they had detonated prior), and has threatened America with an EMP strike. Rather than backing down in the face of international pressure, North Korean rhetoric and blatant taunting of the U.S. has escalated since my August 16 post. Not only is the North Korean threat headline…
