None of those who study and believe the Bible should be surprised by what happened in Las Vegas because we should not be surprised by evil or the prince of this world. In our daily battle against evil, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, a Stephen Paddock, or whatever vessel of Satan; “we wrestle against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

This year’s PAYH Bike Ride is extra special for Austin as he has the opportunity to ride alongside his dad, Kevin, throughout the journey. In this video, they share their training experiences together and reflect on the valuable lessons the Ride has already taught them about perseverance, faith, and commitment.

In the global population, there are relatively few people who legitimately can be titled a founder of a business or a ministry; even fewer, a ministry which continues for a significantly long time, such as 57 years. Paul Anderson was... Read more: https://t.co/9xac93nW4X

There is a constant competition among a certain group of men, to which most people are excluded because they simply do not earn enough to come close. However, the old boys’ club is being overcome by some "Johnny come latelies" to the "Who is... Read more: https://t.co/r1JfWH6kk0

Every great tradition has a beginning, and for the PAYH Bike Ride, that beginning was with Mac Jordan as a partner. Year after year, Mac continues to faithfully invest in the lives of these young men, riding alongside them, encouraging them, and believing in their potential. His dedication, servant leadership, and unwavering commitment have helped shape countless lives, and we are deeply grateful for his continued impact.

During my college years, a new student came to our school at the beginning of the winter semester and joined our winter track team. As we worked out on the outdoor circular wooden track built above the snow drifts below, we had the opportunity to discuss our track backgrounds. We were shocked when our new teammate told us some of his running times for various races. They were surprisingly Olympic-level times. If true, why had he come to our college? He most certainly should have been at a Division 1 school with a very strong track reputation. It turned out that he was, in fact, lying, and about far more in his life than just track.

A few years ago, I asked a Navy vet and retired ship captain friend who was both older than me and quite ill at that point, “What do you think happens when you take your last breath? He answered quickly, "Nothing!" He said, “That is it... Read more: https://t.co/svNyVKvo7k

“Requiescat in pace” is the oft-expressed Latin phrase for the familiar “RIP” used in many a funeral liturgy or in offering a blessing toward one who has just died, as if a human blessing could carry any weight to ensure a destiny of peace for one who has forever crossed the barrier between life and death. I rather imagine the unbeliever in particular is at an awkward loss for words of anything else to say of one who has breathed their last, other than “Rest in peace.” Read more: https://t.co/ZDs3mPZkbT

The boys had a great time at Athens Y Camp last week. From hard work-projects around camp to making memories together along the way, the guys truly worked hard and played hard!

In this life, some people are the prisoners of physical maladies such as blindness, deafness, crippled limbs, incapacitating mental syndromes, debilitating, and even lethal cancers and beyond. You can only imagine the physical and mental challenges some face in living daily life with such illnesses. Read more: https://t.co/r0gFS9pUKU

From transformation to testimony 🙌

Nathan Perkins, a 2007 graduate of the Paul Anderson Youth Home, shares how his time at PAYH didn’t just change his life—it helped shape his future.

In this powerful video, Nathan reflects on the impact the Home had on him as a young man, and why he continues to give back year after year through the Paul Anderson Golf Classic. What was once an investment in his life is now a legacy he’s helping pass on to others—including his own family.

His story is a reminder that the mission of PAYH doesn’t end when a young man graduates—it continues for generations.

Lives are changed. Families are strengthened. Legacies are built.

The most dastardly bribe in the history of the world is likely hidden away in a few verses at the end of the Gospel of Matthew. But since the Bible is the most-read book ever, this vile lie is noticed by the saints and those who seek the truth. Read more: https://t.co/Gi59Vt7XoV
