Nothing in life is free, for even that which is freely given either comes with strings attached or at a great cost. For the salvation we receive in Christ, the cost has been paid and the gift is freely given. We just have to accept.

Read, study, prepare and then experience. In experience you gain the greatest of lessons, and they are lessons worth sharing. This is why I wrote When Doors Close.

The Servant Christ looked nothing like the servant Israel. Jesus will be ultimately raised up and highly exalted, and when he is, only those who believed the message will be rejoicing. Believe the message before it's too late.

What do we do with the needs of this world? How can I say no when someone asks for my help? Why can't I do it all? Ask Him.

Hear about my newest book, "When Doors Close: Changing Course in Missions Without Losing Your Way."

We need to prepare our hearts and minds to carry the message of Christ to a lost and dying world. As we share, we can be confident that God goes before us and protects us.

It's so easy in these dark days to be deceived by things that sound good. There has never been a greater time to test the spirits. The answer key is Jesus.

God calls. We answer, but then we have to make the final decision about where to serve. It's not easy. What can be done?

He has come, and he's coming again. This is cause for celebration. No matter what your day looks like, with Christ we can have peace and hope. 

Pictures and words can trigger deep memories of a life gone by. A memory of my parents was triggered by some homemade rhythm instruments and a long word. What triggers yours?
