“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” Mark 8:36 NLT The insidiousness of pornography. The evil that knows no bounds nor recognizes power, position or economic status. How is this possible, you ask? Jed York, the 46 year old owner of the San Francisco 49ers was…

How Long Will You Wait
I remember sitting in a conference room at a manufacturer in Shenzhen, China in 2002, making the comment, “we are seeing a trend in America,” to which the company’s representatives looked at each other as the translator delivered my words and chuckled with one another.
