87 and Hungry – Moldova Part 3
One ministry we engaged in during our recent mission trip to Moldova was home visitation and food distribution. We visited low-income, elderly people living in apartment buildings near Kishinev Bible Church.
One visit was especially memorable. That particular morning I was the only American visiting with two of my new Moldovan friends, Sveta and Liuda. It [...]
Diggin’ my Scripture Dig girls
I just returned from the “She Speaks” conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. This conference, held by Proverbs 31 Ministries, trains women’s ministry leaders, writers, and speakers. I spent the weekend in the company of 600 women who long to share Christ’s message with the world. Pretty awesome!
However, the best thing about the weekend was the [...]
Moldova Moments – Part Two
During our recent mission trip to Moldova our ministry included visiting and taking food to elderly people in the area surrounding Kishinev Bible Church. Before we began our first morning of visiting we bagged the food we had purchased. Flour, sugar, oil, coffee, corn meal, canned goods, and more filled the sacks and spilled out [...]
Moldova Moments, Part One
Something about a mission trip always seems to change my perspective on life, God’s activity in the world, and my relationship with Him. I just returned from ten days in Kishinev, Moldova with a group of twenty from my church. Over the next few posts, I’d like to share some “God moments” from this trip [...]
Are you growing spiritually?
Have you ever wondered how to tell if you were making any progress in your spiritual journey? The Bible is clear that God wants to be increasingly more like Jesus. He wants us to grow up and mature in our faith. But how do we know if this is happening?
I just started a great book [...]
“Well Done”
I attended a funeral yesterday for a member of my church. This sad, but touching gathering celebrated the life of a man who lived his faith out loud. Don, a high school teacher and coach, impacted the lives of thousands of students, co-workers, and parents. Testimonies from many of these revealed that he was not [...]
Praying for Haitiai
Like many of you, I’ve been praying for Haiti and and its people. The devastating results of the earthquake that rocked the small island nation on Tuesday continue to pile up. Thousands dead. Still thousands more trapped and dying. Tens of thousands homeless and wounded.
How do we even begin to pray? I started with some [...]
Christians don’t have to be Dumb
People don’t have to abandon reason and intellect to be a Christian. I’ve always believed that, but last weekend I listened to a lot of people much smarter than me who believe that too. The National Conference on Christian Apologetics not only reinforced my beliefs, it also armed me with hard facts to stand on.
The [...]
Is your boat in the water?
When our kids were little, my parents gave them a blow-up raft to use in the neighborhood swimming pool. It worked great for a few summers. My three children had a great time paddling around the pool and giving rides to their friends.
About the third summer the raft developed a small hole. For a while [...]
“Love One Another?”
“Love one another.” Sounds doable, right? Care about and care for our brothers and sisters in Christ. After all, we are children of the same Father. We all have the same Holy Spirit. Yep, completely doable. Umm, unless meeting a need means I have to change my schedule. Or open my wallet. Or give up [...]
