Whenever a new controversy erupts in the media, many Christians are quick to offer their opinions on social media. This usually leads to knock-down, drag-outs in a viper pit called “Facebook.” (The “NFL-take-a-knee” controversy was just one example. Next month it will be something else.) Sometimes I’m asked by readers, “Frank, what’s your opinion on [the latest headline controversy]?” My answer is always the same. Here it is … Standing at the root of all political and social causes is the... Read more

Right or wrong, I believe the greatest obstacle to the advance of the kingdom in the earth today is the unwillingness of so many of God’s servants to work together. Thankfully, this isn’t the case with all of them. But I’d say it’s true for most Christian leaders in America. I’ve explained the profound benefits of co-working elsewhere. Today, I want to discuss two reasons why countless ministers won’t work with others. The two reasons – which are virtually never talked... Read more

In the book, INSURGENCE: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, I explore the stunning beauty of the King, how to enter the kingdom, enjoy its riches, proclaim, embody, demonstrate, and inherit it. The kingdom of God is the true empire and it stands against all other empires, allegiances, lords, and kings. The only kingdom that will stand in the end is the royal domain of Jesus Christ. All other kings will be displaced. All other rulers will be uprooted. The gospel... Read more

In the early 1990s, Nirvana (a band I never got into) released their song Smells Like Teen Spirit. History buffs say it was the musical equivalent to the Kennedy assassination. That is, people remembered where they were when they first heard the song. It was that transcendent. I was a public school teacher in those days, and the song was everywhere … even years after its release. After what took place several years ago in Florida, I’ve realized that something is in... Read more

Today I want to weigh-in on a subject that few people have dared to address: Identity politics and the kingdom of God. But before I do, a huuuuggge “thank you” to everyone who pre-ordered my Titan so far. Ironically, some subscribers sent me hate mail simply because I reminded everyone that the Titan will only be printed once. The smoldering anger laden in those emails would make Keyser Söze blush. What do I mean? Here are two of the tamer ones (cough):... Read more

Last weekend, I spoke at a conference in Mississippi. I spoke four times at a conference that a local assembly graciously hosted there. Conference title: TRANSFORMED: The Word of God Reimagined The messages I delivered were entitled: Session 1. Changed Into His Likeness: How We Are Transformed Session 2. Until Christ is Formed in You: Grace in Galatia Session 3. Becoming What You Already Are: Conflict in Corinth Session 4. Encountering the Risen Christ: Then and Now The messages are a supplement,... Read more

Now that radical terrorism is in the news again, we’re replublishing this cornerstone article. THIS MAY GIVE YOU CHILLS … Sometimes the supernatural world penetrates the natural realm in such a tangible way, that the only response is to awe at God’s manifest presence. This past weekend, we held our second annual Deeper Christian Life Conference. People came from Australia, New Zealand, China, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, UAE, Canada, and all over the USA, including Hawaii. During the conference,... Read more

The following story was introduced to me by my co-author Leonard Sweet a number of years ago. Since that time, I’ve studied the background of the story to learn more. The story holds two important lessons for all Christians. Especially for those in ministry. Throughout his entire life, Martin Luther King Jr. only taught one college course. It was a class on social philosophy. In 1962, the class was open to the entire student body at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Tragically, only eight students... Read more
