Make Him “Widely Known”

December 21, 2018

God had spoken these words through Isaiah, the prophet, about the Redeemer of Israel: “I, even I, am the Lord, and besides Me there is no savior.” (Isaiah 43:11) Yahweh was their only hope. None other could become their Savior. Only the self-existent, eternal, holy, all-powerful Sovereign could rescue them. And He alone could enact the rescue plan to redeem our souls. […]

Because He lives…

April 1, 2018

As recorded in John 14:19, Jesus said, “Because I live, you will live also.” This is a wonderful and irreversible promise for all who believe!

Jesus had been busy. Going into towns and villages, He preached in synagogues, and He healed people who were sick. As He looked at the crowds, He saw great needs.

Today, we buried a prayer partner…

It was more than forty years ago that we met Blanche. And it was about that time that the Lord was putting on her heart to engage in a ministry of intercession. Few people do this; even fewer spend a lifetime doing it. God takes notice. Isaiah 59:16 records how God saw the desperate condition […]

By God’s grace…

May 6, 2015

“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ…” (1 Corinthians 1:4) Logging roads crisscross tropical jungle where there used to only be rivers for travel. Mountainous terrain still surrounds the headwater streams of the Manday River. Steamy days make the river-baths feel good. […]

By faith, not by sight…

“…for we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Cor. 5:7) This descriptive phrase of the Christian’s outlook on life is found in the context of living our natural life on earth while knowing our real life is in Heaven, with Christ.
