Overcoming… Lockdowns, Boils, Disasters
You all have heard for years about the growth and expansion of 10/40’s house ch. planting across a nation with limited access. Hope you enjoy a little deeper understanding of some praises and trials over the last few months. See if you notice biblical parallels before...
Consider… Straight and Align
“Her spine is now exposed, and dissection will begin.” With that phone call from the operating room, our daughter’s surgery took on new and deeper meaning. A heavy compulsion came upon us to pray in a different way than is “normal” when you have a child in...
Social…yes. Justice…maybe not!
To be JUST you must be Right; to be RIGHT you must be Just.… Any “social justice” that does not reflect God’s holiness is shallow justice!Years ago, we lived in Cairo, Egypt - the land of ancient pharaohs and kings. From the roof of our apartment we could just barely...
Playground or Battleground?
When you think of the world, do you consider it a playground or a battleground? When you wake up, do you immediately put on spiritual armor and prepare your heart and mind for action? Or do you check your social media, read news, turn on the television, or just get...
Imitate Jesus In COVID-19

Bad Herod… Really Bad
If few people love to play the part of innkeeper at the Christmas play, then no one wants to play Herod! From our previous blog we looked at some misconceptions about the Bethlehem “innkeeper.” Perhaps we have been wrong about him! But regarding Herod, perhaps we do...
Bad, Bad Innkeeper – Kicking a Pregnant Mother to the Curb (Or NOT!)
You’ve seen the drama and the movies. A rushing Joseph enters Bethlehem looking for a room for his very pregnant, laboring wife. Doors slam in his face while Mary looks concerned as the baby presses. The Christmas story passed down seems to include two really mean...
What Do the LEAST REACHED Think About Christians Who Never Share the Gospel with Them?
“What took you so long to tell us about Jesus?” This genuine, yet stinging, question came from the lips of a young Nepali woman, rescued from human trafficking at the Indian border. While living in a safe home, she realized that Jesus not only wanted to save her...
