“We have this hope as an anchor for our lives. It is safe and sure, and goes through the curtain of the heavenly temple… On our behalf Jesus has gone in there before us.” In The Junction Boys, there is an account of football great Gene Stallings riding out hurricane Audrey on an oil barge […]

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Just exactly where does the world begin? Is it in the mission field of a third-world country or right where we are? Of course, both of these answers are correct. Yet, all too often we tend to neglect […]

“There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.” This is our calling as well. I might not […]

“The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” Can you imagine?
