Last night, Phil Robertson closed out the 2026 Florida College Lectures with a powerful presentation affirming that the message of the Gospel is not just for those who’ve never obeyed it, but it’s for us.
For Christians. For the Church, for all disciples of Christ. Continue reading

Yesterday, I took a break from lectures to enjoy brunch with some college students at the “Adopt a Student” reception.
The “Adopt a Student” program at Florida College is an opportunity for donors to provide financial support for a student to attend college and earn their degree. The FC web page says, “When you adopt a student, you are investing in a brighter future.” Continue reading

Norma Jean and I are attending the annual Florida College Lectures this week in Temple Terrace, Florida—a gathering that has shaped my faith and ministry for a lifetime.
I have been blessed to attend every year since 1966, when I first came as a high school senior. That initial experience was unforgettable. I heard—and met—men who were gifted and effective gospel preachers, voices I had previously known only through their writings or reputation. It left a lasting imprint on my life. Continue reading

“I love pizza!”
Have you ever said that?

In a recent sermon series at the Northside Church in Pompano Beach, we were applying the fifteen qualities of love from 1 Corinthians 13 to everyday life.
As I reflected on the phrase “love is kind,” I was reminded—again—that kindness is not measured only by what we say, but how we say it. My wife has gently pointed out on more than one occasion that my tone of voice has sometimes been more of a problem than my actual words. That kind of honesty is a gift, even when it stings a little.

Sin.
Sin is a crushing debt that’s impossible to repay.
Sin is drowning in the ocean with no hope of rescue.
Sin is filth that soap cannot scrub away.
Sin is a cancer spreading with no remedy for a cure.
Sin is poison sweetened with honey, tasty at first, but deadly in the end. Continue reading

Last week, Indiana University completed an improbable journey by winning the national football championship.
When coach Curt Cignetti was hired, IU had the ignoble distinction of losing more games in its 140-year history than any other university. In the past two years, Cignetti and IU are 27–2: Big Ten Champions, Rose Bowl and Peach Bowl winners, and National Champions—culminating in a perfect 16–0 season this year. Continue reading
