Christ followers, under the power of the Holy Spirit, will tell everyone about Him. (Acts 1:8)
I love Christmas, the lights, family gatherings, decorations, music and gift giving. It's a time of year when people show compassion to the hurts and needs of others.

Syrian refugee girls march at a United Nations refugee camp in Jordan. Oftentimes, the mission of God does not seem to match our conveniently constructed models. God calls us to love all people, which means taking the gospel to hard places, among hard people, and during difficult times. In Acts 8:26-40, we catch a glimpse... Continue Reading →
Pray for Ukraine. We hear those words often and our hearts break for them and we are moved with compassion. We want to do something, anything to make a difference. As I look at the images we see on the news and online, I often have no words. There are no words to describe my... Continue Reading →
