In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul tells us to "Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
How can you pray without ceasing? I heard a wonderful answer from from a Community Bible Study teacher. You know how we all have [...]

God has created a beautiful place for us to live. I shared in a Newsletter one of the breathtaking moments I experienced backpacking.

- Merry Christmas - 2008
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. The birth of Christ was a unique time in history. Jesus emptied Himself to show us God's Love. Can you imagine the Creator of the Universe entering the human race as a fragile dependent baby! He is coming back, but the next time it's not going to be [...]

“May he (the son of Ruth & Boaz) be to you a restorer of [...]

- Fear Not!
Why does Jesus keep telling us to “Fear Not?” He tells us because we need to hear it. We have pretty amazing minds that can create vivid pictures of whatever we focus on.
If you watch and listen to the news, most of what we see or hear is pretty dismal. There are wars, famines, fires [...]

I just met Solomon Darwin and his wife Amy. What they shared with us was so amazing, I wanted to tell you about it too. You see, Solomon's Grandmother was born into the Untouchable Caste in India.
