Cyber Monday Blessing
It seems like every business on the internet is sending out emails today about special savings for purchases made on Cyber Monday. Well, I don’t have anything for sale. However, I do have a way for you to be a blessing to others. In my last update message (click here if you want to read) […]
Arise And Walk
To grow as a Christian means to become closer, and develop a more intimate relationship, with God. This relationship begins when we are born into His family – when we ask Him to forgive our sins through faith in Jesus and begin what is intended to be an eternal communion of love. He desires for […]
Levántate y Anda
Crecer como Cristiano significa acercarnos más y desarrollar una relación más íntima con Dios. Esta relación comienza cuando nacemos en Su familia – cuando pedimos el perdón de los pecados a través de la fe en Jesús y comenzamos lo que tiene la intención de ser una eterna comunión de amor. El desea que confiemos […]
Return to Give Thanks
One day when Jesus was traveling from Galilee to Jerusalem, ten men with leprosy approached Him and called out; “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” (Luke 17:13). Jesus didn’t immediately heal the lepers. Instead, He gave them a simple instruction; “Go, show yourselves to the priests” (Luke 17:14). A leper would only present himself to […]
Regresa a Dar Gracias
Un día cuando Jesús estaba viajando de Galilea a Jerusalén, diez hombres con lepra se le acercaron y le dijeron; “¡Jesús, Maestro, ten misericordia de nosotros!” (Lucas 17:13). Jesús no sanó su lepra de inmediato, en lugar de eso les dio una simple instrucción; “Id, mostraos a los sacerdotes” (Lucas 17:14). Un leproso solo se […]
Tools of The Teacher
In the days of the prophet Jeremiah, God’s chosen people had turned away to worship other gods. But God longed for His children to return and worship Him as the One True God. The Israelites had been warned for many years and now God used a foreign king as His tool for discipline and instruction. […]
Herramientas de El Maestro
En los días del profeta Jeremías, La gentes escogida de Dios se había vuelto a adorar otros dioses. Pero Dios anhelaba el regreso de sus hijos para que le adorasen a El como el Único Dios Verdadero. Los Israelitas habían sido prevenidos por muchos años y ahora Dios usó a un rey extranjero para disciplinar […]
Ministry Update 11-16-18
This has been a good year for our school in Mathare, Kenya. We have been able to complete the school building which can accommodate over 200 kids. There will be normal ongoing upkeep and maintenance requirements but the construction portion is complete. Praise God! In July, I sent out a message about a plot of […]
Personal Psalms
The one hundred and fifty psalms in the Bible were written by several different people; we believe that David wrote many but certainly not all. The psalms were meant to be set to music and sung as a way of praising the glory of God, but also as a way of expressing the deeply honest […]
My Super Power
[Note: I sent a version of this message out in March of last year. It highlights some thoughts by my youngest daughter.] In the spring of 2013, our family was in the middle of a terrible trial. Our youngest child – our 12 year old daughter, Kaylee – was diagnosed with an advanced stage of […]
Misplaced Trust
In the message “Secure In His Presence” we were encouraged to guard against anything which takes away from our complete dependence on our Heavenly Father. We saw how worldly security can sometimes cause us to close our eyes and ears to God’s leading. Becoming secure in the world means we are placing our trust in […]
Confianza Equivocada
En el mensaje “Seguros en Su Presencia” fuimos animados a guardarnos contra cualquier cosa que nos aleje de nuestra completa dependencia de nuestro Padre Celestial. Vimos como la seguridad del mundo puede en ocasiones hacer que cerremos nuestros ojos y oídos a la dirección de Dios. Volvernos seguros en el mundo también pone nuestra confianza […]
