  • Crossing Culture
    *Allison joined me today for a fun and personal interview in a local coffee shop. She and her husband serve in missions in a Middle Eastern country.  She discusses how she came to be involved in this work and some intriguing aspects of "cross cultural" ministry. She shares her heart, her life and her love for the people where God has placed her family.
    *Allison is not her real name.  Since she works in a nation where there are few Christians, it is wise to not reveal her actual name.

  • Stewards of God's Testimonies

    You are a portable container of the testimonies of God!

    Psalm 71: 15-16   My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and of Your salvation all day long; for I do not know the sum of them.  I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord God; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

  • The Cloak
    Some call it "passing the torch;" others call it "passing the mantle."  P. Burt Miller of Solid Ground Church in Lewes, Delaware urges the older generation to, "throw the cloak around us."

    • Forgiven and Healed

      Most of us acknowledge that because of what Jesus accomplished, we have received the gift of forgiveness.  But do we realize that healing should come in that same package?  Today we discuss the revelation that healing and forgiveness are the same gift.

    • Disciple

      What's it like being a disciple of Jesus?  Frank and Tracey Honess joined me today for a discussion about discipleship and what it looks like in their lives.

      As you listen, you'll discover the passion Frank and Tracey have for Jesus and for pouring into others.  Out of their brokenness, Jesus has built them into a strong ministry team especially directed toward those who need support with living a sexually pure life.   To contact them or for more information use the links below.

    • The Word Part 3

      Paul instructs us that the Word of God is a sword.  Jude teaches us that we will need to contend for the faith. Let's work out with that "sword" day by day and grow strong in its use.  Let's be ready to contend with the Word of God against the assaults of an invisible enemy.

    • The Word Part 2

      If the devil challenged Jesus concerning His identity and purpose, he will also challenge us.  If Jesus responded with the Word that was hidden in His heart, we must do the same.  We need to be established in our identity and purpose based on what God says about us.  The sure Word is the foundation of who we are as new creatures in Christ.  Let's put His Word in our hearts and let the Holy Spirit move through it to restore us.
