I’m interrupting my series about John Newton to give you some news about myself, a new book project that I am currently writing and my new relationship with George Otis, Jr. Always an adventure! —Doug

John Newton 3 This video continues my series tracing the track record of Holy Spirit movements as relates to the abolition of slavery. It presents the unsung hidden role of John Newton in abolishing slavery in England, through his mentoring relationship with William Wilberforce. There are many, many lessons we can gain about transformational Revival […]

In this continuing story of John Newton, I want to show you the contrast between “the Christian religion” and The Kingdom of God. Two different things. I show how God transitioned England out of a religion and into His transformational kingdom —and destined a few leaders to destroy a work of the devil (the slave […]

John Newton, the man who wrote “Amazing Grace,” led a most extraordinary life. Few people realize the key role he played in the abolition of slavery. This video offers the first half of his story in which I show that if any of us is to become a world changer, it is not because of […]

Yet very few writers today seem aware of that, so I have devoted a good deal of Glory Through Time detailing how this happened. My goal is to show Jesus Himself at the center of […]

Jesus the Emancipator – 1 We fight demonic deception by telling the truth. One of the great deceptions of our time is this: “Christianity is the religion of slavery.” This lie comes from the tragedy of Christians buying and selling slaves in this country.
