St. Patrick was one of the greatest evangelists. One of my favorite, yet sad, stories of his gospel endeavors: “While in Ireland, Patrick shared the gospel with his former slave owner, Miliuc the Druid. But instead of turning his back on his pagan gods, Miliuc locked himself in his house and set it on fire…

Acts 19:10 says it took 2 years to share Christ to everyone in the province of Asia. There were approximately 8-12 million people living there during that time and it wasn’t the Bible belt where a lot had already heard about Jesus. So how could Paul share the gospel with millions in only 2 years…

“I’m hungry!” Those are words we’ve all said, and I constantly hear from three growing kids. As my mom used to say, “I think they have a hollow leg” because nothing seems ever to fill them up! Food is a critical element in life. It energizes, sustains, and satisfies our hunger. From snacks to three-square…

Lent is a 40-day (46 if you count Sundays) religious observance that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter used to deepen one’s worship,…

Sometimes life reaches a point when hurt, pain, and chaos spiral beyond our control. Ever been there? Maybe you’re there right now? During these times, the temptation is to believe the deception that hope, relief, and peace are things of the past. But that is a lie! God is present, even in trouble. Now there’s…

I once heard it said, “We know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.” Everything has a price, but the value of something is much more. We have our limits on what we’d pay for certain things. A Coke at one place may be fifty cents and seven dollars at another. If I…

“Don’t Lower the Standard” I remember the first time I dunked a basketball. I was in the 7th grade, and I thought I was something special. The trouble was, it wasn’t on a 10′ regulation height basketball goal. I had lowered the goal at a friend’s house to about 8.5′. You would have thought I…
