Death to the Tyrant Pride!

Pride may be destroying everything you care about! This issue of Revive dives deep into what I believe is the #1 indicator of maturity: an attitude of humility.  Yet, most of our world glorifies pride, and even celebrates its ability to make decisions apart from God (or anyone else). But we all know where pride leads ...

Great Books on Global Missions

In my conversations and presentations on global outreach, I often encourage people to build a library of mission-related resources in their home, particularly if they have children or teens. This can help infuse vision and mission into your home over the long run, and also offer you encouragement from across the world (and throughout history) ...

How-To Guide for Dads

It’s time for a reboot of fatherhood in the West – particularly in my country, the USA.  But how do we get started?

We’re talking about agape-level love here—of the most faithful, most patient, most compassionate, most forgiving, most gracious, most unexpected, and most undeserved ...

Intergalactic Missions Off The Table “For Now”

Mission enthusiast Niles Buchanan and his para-church group – “GO OUT” have been told by their Board of Directors to, “slow down, just a bit.”  When Buchanan presented his strategic plan for beyond-global missionary endeavors, the Board was pleased.  But inter-galactic planning should be tabled, “until our space-faring civilization extends beyond the reach of our ...

I recently posted my story of meeting my sponsored kids in India, when traveling with India Gospel League.  It got me thinking – what qualities are important to me when it comes to child sponsorship?  I narrowed my list down to five: 1. I can trust the leadership. Since sponsoring a child often happens half-a-world ...
