Fulfill the Great Commission

Fulfill the Great Commission, Part 1

In a cabin nestled in the old fir-covered mountains of the North-West, a missionary asks for prayer. Surrounded by new and old friends, he fights back tears and shares that the Chapra Amazonian people asked for a translation of the Bible in their language. David Skinner has overcome threats, sickness, and imprisonment to fulfill the great…

What is God's Mercy?

What is God’s Mercy?

We are a mixed up people, wanting justice and mercy at the same time. When a friend suffers at the hands of another, we demand the offender pay for what they did. But when our mistakes surface or we’re caught when we hoped to get away with something, we plead for pardon by the ones…

Forgiven

Who is Forgiven Much Loves Much

Who has seen their need for God’s mercy and grace? If we glimpsed our vast debt to the King and how greatly He’s forgiven us—could we not love Him?

You are free with Him.

Free

A few weeks ago, a little girl caught my eye as she pushed herself up between two front car seats and kicked her legs freely below her. It reminded me of climbing the narrow hallway walls, barefoot, at my cousin Jeffrey’s house. We called him Frey-Frey for “short” (pronounced Free Free). How fitting, I think…

Finding Hope

Hope during Desperate Times

We all go through seasons where we lose hope. When it seems that nothing is working in your favor, you can become desperate for a breakthrough. You may even become so familiar with this feeling that you begin to say things like, “I don’t want to get my hopes up.” But when your hope is…

Grace through Faith

God’s grace and our faith are two recurring elements throughout Scripture. In fact, we often don’t recognize how regularly we deal in grace and faith on a daily basis. Everything that God created is a gift and every breath that we have is a tangible grace given to us. And we live moment by moment…
