I just returned from Urbana, IL. Honored to be the keynote speaker at the Christian festival there. Someone took these shots while I was delivering my “Stairway to Heaven” message. One of the people helping with the conference encouraged me to wear the hat while speaking since all the musicians at the festival were wearing hats while they performed.

I “get” why many Christians believe conspiracy theories and rumors about celebrities, even though they should always be skeptical about both. What I don’t get at all is how so many Christians will accept an accusation against another believer or sister that they hear from a Facebook friend when they could easily to go the person being accused online and ask if the accusation is true or not. Unfortunately, “fake news” reported by some disgruntled “Christians” who hate others abounds... Read more
