The Sovereignty of God
When I have time I tune in to one or more of the "news" channels which inundate the airwaves with their product. Like most, it does not take long for the news to turn my stomach, so I simply tune to something more refreshing. The past few weeks have filled the minds of many with thoughts of deep panic and concern. So many have called me to share their concern over events happening globally. "What should I take from the events?" is the most often asked question. While I do not believe any one has the answer to the problem,...
That I may know Him
Oswald Chambers said, "The aim of a spiritually vigorous saint is “that I may know Him . . .” Do I know Him where I am today? If not, I am failing Him. I am not here for self-realization, but to know Jesus Christ. In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances." (read devotional)...

Images of the Cross The cross is a constant reminder of the grace, love and mercy of God. As I have had the opportunity to be away for a few days of rest and relaxation I have been amazed at the wonderful ways God reminds me of His love. As I sit on the porch of our condo it seems that my eyes are drawn to images of the cross. These images might be nothing more that the beams of a condo unit across the way, the shape of a tree in the distance, or even an oddly shaped cloud...

Continuing in Faith God continues to do wonderful things in and through the life of His dear ones. I am so blessed to witness the grand works of God around the globe.

Following the message I witnessed four former Catholics come forward during the invitation to express, not only their faith in Christ, but their desire to follow the Lord Jesus in baptism. There...

Headed Home [Brong Ahafo Region, Ghana] Our evangelistic project has just ended. God allowed us to share the gospel in 138 venues and witness 38,093 individuals indicate their first-time decision for Christ. Even though these numbers are staggering we have been reminded that there are 15,000 unreached villages here with a Muslim population in excess of 5 million people. Therefore the unfinished task ahead of us is both daunting and demanding. The grace of God has been evident in all our work. The fact that He organized for our first-ever medical clinic was amazing. Unknown to the American team was...

Weekend Update [Brong Ahafo Region, Ghana] It is Sunday here in Ghana. We are winding down from a busy two weeks of ministry here and are thankful for a day of rest. Since our arrival on Tuesday, February 15 our team has completed 91 separate ministry venues in villages, towns, schools, medical clinics, and film crusades. We have traversed difficult terrain and ventured where few, in some cases any, whites have previously been. It is still amusing to witness many of the people rub our hands and arms to see if our “color” will come off! Thus far we have...
