A report from Egypt

Our friends from B.E.N. are in contact with nationals on the ground in Egypt, monitoring events several times each day. Here is their report as of about February 4. “Due to poverty, socialism, and unbelievably hard living circumstances in Egypt, a group of educated and reasonable people tried to call the government’s attention to the […]

The Test

Do you remember what your response was the last time the Lord gave you a “test”? Life is full of tests. More often than not, life’s tests are untimely and we often don’t even recognize a problem as a test until it is over. But each one is allowed by God and will turn out […]

Touring Canada!

The Garfat family in Beachburg Ontario, who have hosted me for the past few days, have been showing me around their part of the great country of Canada!

Taking the Challenge!

What! A memory verse challenge? That’s right, they have that every January! Oops. We realized we were a week late but David and I decided to jump in anyway and take the challenge to memorize Hebrews 12. There are 29 verses in the chapter so we hurried to catch up. Our goal was to memorize […]

Resolve.

Reagan’s speech in the previous post rekindles a hope that we might be more committed to the founding principles behind our nation’s greatness. That commitment is our resolve. Resolving is resting–building our lives on a principle which produces a single passion and cannot be compromised. As Christians we “give diligence" to determine our purpose just […]
