Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

The good thing about life is that you can research anywhere you are. I'm just constantly gathering little bits of information all the time. I'm always grabbing something out of the headlines, out of the news or reading a book about astronomy and just trying to figure out how to get my head around the facts but the bigger stress is trying to connect those facts to normal life situations and our relationship with God.

The world has been tragic since the day Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. From that moment murder, mayhem and war entered the scene and we are still suffering the consequences of a man-driven, self-serving, short-sighted environment.

It's a big world. Don't get trapped by tiny dreams and feeble problems. Time for big prayers and bold faith.

God doesn't call people to a job description, He calls people to Himself and His mission in the world.

Everything thing we're doing is coming out of the living Word of God.

Sin doesn't make us bad, sin makes us dead. The gospel doesn't make us better, the gospel makes us alive.
