What Will We Leave Them?
For the sake of our children, it is time to disobey.
Our society is increasingly criminalizing our right to stand up for what we believe. The media has encouraged the trend by making it vogue to be tolerant of every kind of perversion and by villainizing Christians who choose a biblical standard for their lives. How far will we allow this trend to go?

Unleash the Gift of the Song of the Lord

Money Does Matter
A minister received a call from the Internal Revenue Service asking about a member of his church.
“He stated on his income-tax return,” said the official, “that he gave $3,000 last year to your church. Is that correct?”

Instrument of God’s Perfection
Julia A.J. Foote was the fourth child born to devout Christian parents in Schenectady, New York, in 1823. When she was 10, her parents, who were former slaves, sent her to live with and work for a wealthy white couple.
This couple acted as Julia’s patrons and enrolled her in an integrated country school, where she received a basic education. In 1836 she rejoined her family.

Enjoy Freedom From Rejection
I admit that rejection is not an issue I have struggled with personally. My attitude (which I’m not saying is a good one!) has always been, “If you don’t like me, that’s your problem.” However, through my years of working in ministry I have learned about rejection objectively–and, I must say, with surprise. At first
How God Used Two Girls to Preach to Muslims in Africa
Before we arrived in the african village, God had prepared the people’s hearts to know him. Even so, I wondered why he would entrust his message to me. Millions of tiny flies were driving me crazy. We had driven out from the village to have some peace and quiet and find a place to pray.
