Planting Seeds
So often, ministry involves seed planting in faith. Very often we do not get to see the fruit of the seeds until years, decades or generations later.

With a 500-mile journey ahead of […]

Dust and Life
Dust and Life Dry, dusty boxes, caked with age and care, were slowly being opened and sorted in the musty attic above our grandfather’s kitchen. Memories were laden in this place.

I’ve Never Been Prayed For!
“We missed you at the meeting.” She squinted slightly and adjusted her glasses. Her co-worker replied with surprising confidence, “Yes, we were sad to miss. But, well, guess what!

And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 1 CORINTHIANS 15:17 Notice that Paul does not say “if Christ had not died upon the cross, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.” The resurrection of Jesus has huge implications for our salvation. […]

“You will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.” GENESIS 15:15 It is said cynically that in this life only two things are certain – death and taxes. When Abraham’s life was still not yet half gone, God told him of his eventual passing. And 10 chapters later, […]
