On Saturday, May 13th, 2017 eleven prayerful Christians sat down and blocked the entrance to Kentucky’s last remaining surgical abortion clinic. An 82 year old concentration camp survivor, a former pastor, a pro-life missionary and father of eight, a reverend, a veteran overseas missionary, and a humble teenage girl wearing a skirt and…
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things.” Romans 10:15 I don’t think I have ever been accused of having beautiful feet. In fact I have it on good authority that they are quite unattractive. Nevertheless, in faith, I am going to plant them on the solid rock of…
“You can’t have your cake and eat it, too.” I think most everyone has heard or used this expression. Like most old sayings, it endures because it links a philosophical truth with an everyday experience. Simply stated, that truth says that a thing cannot be and not be at the same time. Aristotle and Plato…
I just met my daughter three days ago and I can’t stop staring at her. Many times over the last six months I looked at the growing bump on my wife’s belly and wondered, “Who is this?” Now I am gazing into baby Julia’s face and wondering, “Who are you?” I could never have…
“Wow, this is just like missions work!” That was the spontaneous declaration of someone who had spent a few hours on the streets outside of Everett Planned Parenthood with me recently. Coming from a person who was raised on the mission field and who has dedicated his life to become a missionary, his statement was…

I had a remarkable conversation with a young lady today; the kind that almost always and only occurs outside of an abortion clinic. I was standing alone in front of Everett Planned Parenthood, grateful to God for the warmth of the sunshine and its confirmation that He has faithfully kept His promise since the days…
Do you ever feel like you’re mad? I don’t mean angry. I mean crazy? Have you ever questioned your sanity? Ever feel irrational, unsound, certifiable, nuts, cuckoo, looney tunes, off your rocker, etc.? Considering just how many ways there are to describe insanity, I think everyone must have felt this way at least once. Why, else would there…
“…God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself…and He has given us the word of reconciliation.” 2Cor. 5:19 This is a wonderful yet sobering verse of scripture. Wonderful in that it proclaims the good news that God desires to restore us to a relationship with Him; sobering when we consider what it…
About a year ago I had an experience that I have often recalled since. Two words, spoken by my then eight year old daughter Victoria, have done more than all the books I have ever read or all the sermons I have ever heard to crystalize an obvious but elusive fact in my…
