Prayer should be an ongoing, daily conversation with God

Tulsa Beacon

I wonder sometimes what our conversations with God sound like from His side. Does he see our prayers a meaningful dialogue? Or do we come across as a child does to an adult? Cohen the Goodhearted, who is rapidly approaching 3 ½ years of age, is now is at the stage where we can understand…

Why have mission trips lost appeal?

Tulsa Beacon

For many years I served with an organization called Awe Star Missions. Every year, this ministry hosts a conference called iGO. Youth pastors, students, parents and missionaries from all around the world collide in one place for a time to focus on Christ’s commandment to go and make disciples of all nations. At this conference,…

Thanks to a believing Colonel, KFC is sold everywhere

Tulsa Beacon

I started writing this article from a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Dublin, Ireland. Ireland is one of the countries I’ve always wanted to visit but never had. My great-grandfather emigrated from Ireland to the United States, and I would love to visit my roots. When I noticed that a flight out of London had a…

My family, friends and church are so very important

Tulsa Beacon

I want to take this space to say thank you to the many who have prayed for me as I walked through the season of stage 4 prostate cancer. I have shared with you everything from my diagnosis, to treatment options, to making the final decision, to having my prostate removed. I had the surgery…

God’s branch office was in a Tulsa Mexican restaurant

Tulsa Beacon

It was my last speaking engagement before my surgery. I was invited to speak once on Saturday night and twice on Sunday at Martha Road Baptist Church in Altus, Oklahoma. I have spoken there several times, and it is the kind of church that blesses you more than you can bless them. It reminds me…

Who should own The Church of the Holy Sepulchre?

Tulsa Beacon

Today I am writing from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the walled city of Jerusalem. I wish I could take every one of you who reads this article on a journey to the Holy Land. In my travels, I have seen many mountains and beautiful scenery, but walking the land of Jesus feeds…

God-given humor is comforting in my battle with cancer

Tulsa Beacon

Humor is a gift from God – at least I hope so. If not, I’m not sure where my sense of humor came from. Humor produces laughter, and laughter is good medicine for the heart and soul. Ecclesiastes 3:4 tells us there is a time to laugh, “a time to weep and a time to…

Petra, Jordan, is one of the seven wonders of the world

Tulsa Beacon

Before I have my cancer surgery, I have taken a couple of weeks to travel to the Middle East with my oldest son, Jeremiah. He teaches high school history and geography and injects insights from his travel experiences into his classes. Besides that, he and I both have an unsatisfied curiosity for knowing what lies…

Creating and rejoining friends on a trip to Jerusalem

Tulsa Beacon

I am writing today from the ancient city of Jerusalem. I have taken a couple of weeks to spend time with my oldest son, Jeremiah. Jeremiah teaches in a public high school, covering subjects like History and Geography. He is an incredible teacher because his lessons combine his deep studies of these subjects along with…

Some of the best gifts in our lives just happen to be free

Tulsa Beacon

When my boys were young, I had to travel on many occasions to preach or teach. While I was away, I wanted them to know that even though we weren’t close in distance, they were on my mind. Now, these were the days before we had cell phones, Internet and FaceTime. It would seem like…
