For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12 ESV Please join me in praying every hour at ten till the hour for the victims of kidnapping. Pray …
Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if …
I just watched a short video interview of a young woman from Christian Aid Ministries. She said that they, (the group, family, and friends of those kidnapped in Haiti) forgive the captors. I would have had trouble understanding that if it weren’t for the stories I read just last night in “When Faith is Forbidden. …
The articles I read this morning make it sound like the victims of the kidnapping in Haiti are doing okay, but I’m not sure if that information is verified or just wishful thinking. The ransom price is set and negotiations are in the works. One news article had a quote from a U.S. official saying …
Back in the 1970s, the Ford Pinto was mass-produced knowing full well that it could/would catch on fire if rear-ended.

If breath is life, and Scripture is breathed out by God, then (I believe) that’s one of the reasons we see Scripture as the Living Word. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable …
For the longest time, I didn’t understand the concept of “your body is a temple.” Then, one day when reading Scripture, there was the wonderful “aha” moment: the Holy Spirit lives inside of me (and you)! Therefore, my body is His temple. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to …
