I was driving my son back to college and he asked me how do you share the Gospel with someone? It seems like such a difficult thing to bridge the gap in any relationship to share Christ. But the truth is that if you know the Lord personally, then you are just introducing one friend …

Called to Get In & to Get Out
We hear sermons preached frequently about being called IN TO something but we do not often hear about being called OUT OF something. I wonder how many pastors that have fallen into temptation were told by God beforehand to leave the ministry? I am not saying that God knew they would end up in an …

Is it only me or have you found that the more we look around, the more we see that people are struggling? My husband has frequently said that if you are not depressed, you are not paying attention. How- ever, with the holiday season here, we do not want our Christmas cards to be the …

Counting down to the Friendship Conference
