church planting, Ireland, Missions, St. Patrick's Day
Today, of course is St. Patrick’s Day. Nancy intends to cook up a pot of corned beef and cabbage before the day is out. She got some Guinness Stout for the occasion also. My mouth is watering already, even though I just finished lunch not too long ago. Nothing wrong with any of those aspects [...]

Most of us have met someone who selfishly refers to himself in a large percentage of his conversations. That guy who is ego-centric and doesn’t understand that if something were to happen to him, the world might continue. The earth will revolve around the sun without him, while he feels his specific gravity is essential [...]

As we get ready to love on the Armands this Sunday evening in launching them overseas for the global cause of missions, I want to reinforce from the Scripture why I believe it matters that we do this in a first class, all-out way. In the book of Third John, the apostle commends his beloved [...]

Yesterday’s message in Acts 18:1-28 is now on the web. You can listen to the audio here. Here’s a summary of the message: Our extraordinary God specializes in deploying/using ordinary people for His extraordinary gospel purposes. He guides them by providence in circumstances.

Missions, North Korea, Operation World, prayer
I meant to do this post weeks ago. The holidays and a cruddy cold took care of that notion. Still, anybody who reads a newspaper or watches the news knows that North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-Il slipped into eternity in December. His son, Kim Jong-Un has succeeded him as the new ruler of one of [...]

I regret to admit that my generation has really lost the art of writing a creative and personal letter. My peers and I remember learning to write letters and having pen pals, but we also remember when email was invented (for me, during middle school). Though we have adopted new forms of communication that are [...]

Advent, giving, incarnation, Missions
I find myself often praying portions of Philippians 2:5-11 with folks during this Christmas season. Where would we be if the Son of God had not counted equality with God a thing to be grasped and had abhorred the virgin’s womb? Lost – eternally, horribly, hellishly lost. But the news is good! He humbled himself, [...]

Passion 2012 Two words. Life changing. OK, I know what you may be thinking. Passion is just another conference. You go get on a spiritual high and come home and crash two weeks later. I know this because that is what I was thinking the first time I was asked to go. I want to [...]

Back on Good Friday of this year, in a joint communion service with our friends at Faith Baptist Church, we collected an offering for the relief work in Japan following the devastating tsunami that ravaged the northern part of that country in March. We put in some significant due diligence to determine what agency or [...]

Digo, Missions, prayer
We are determined. We will seek God for spiritual breakthroughs in our adopted people group, the Digo. You may not be able to attend a prayer meeting, but you can pray on your own. For help in knowing what and how to pray I give you this agenda from last night’s concert of prayer: Digo [...]
