This thought came to my mind as I was part of a ministry opportunity recently. A couple I was having supper with asked a lady and her son to come over. The son is only a few years younger than me but is very incapacitated. He was in a car accident when he was 18, [...]

The truth of this quotation from James Fraser’s book Mountain Rain was illustrated with powerful clarity recently. A lady affiliated with Bibles International is presently visiting her children in Bankok, Thailand. She had surgery 6 months ago and was still experiencing pain because of it. But the doctors were unable to determine the cause. While [...]
Being Like the Berean Jews??

Now that I have a blog, I have a public venue where I can voice some of insights in Scripture that the Lord has given through my study of Scriptures. We often hear that we are to be like the Berean Christians because they searched the Scriptures daily to see if the things that Paul said [...]

Thanks for your prayers for Friday’s chapel. Most of the students seemed to pay attention, so we’ll see if it will bear fruit. I pray the Lord will give me grace to deny self and take up my cross daily as well. I need to allow that sermon to continue echoing in my mind. Today [...]

Please pray as I speak in chapel today at 1:30 on the true characteristics of discipleship. My time in Life Skills class went well yesterday. I’ll be speaking in Spanish class on Mon about differences among people and how we should respond to them.

Last evening I decided to accompany a group of Christian high school seniors on a trip to a college fair in Saegertown, PA. I was disappointed that none of the schools were there that I have grown to appreciate–Bob Jones, Northland, Maranatha, or Faith. Piedmont, Applachian, Crown, and Pensacola weren’t there either. Instead, it was [...]

Here I thought I’d be in Butler, PA, with very little to do for two weeks except for speaking at the chapel for First Baptist Christian School on Fri afternoon. But today, my schedule just increased with four new events. Tomorrow evening I’ll be presenting my ministry at Perry Baptist Church in Hadley. On Thurs [...]

On Saturday, I had the privilege to travel on America’s first transcontinental highway. In PA it is Highway 30. I stayed in Chambersburg over the weekend and had to travel to Butler, PA, for a Sunday of ministry. I decided to take a day off on Saturday, so I took the more scenic route to [...]
