Making The Difference In The World

Our beloved Thessalonians were facing such hard trials and persecution they thought they were living the day of the Lord, the time of the tribulation. Paul sends them this second letter to calm their hearts and remind them that the day of the Lord wouldn´t come until certain events had

The Word of God is Not Bound!

The last few weeks had left my body feeling the exhaustion of traveling through four countries with my husband and our five young children. When we finally arrived in East Asia, our friends and teammates were anxiously awaiting our arrival. It was late, we had just flown for fifteen hours,

When We Struggle With Doubt

Your doubts do not trouble God. He is not surprised by them nor do they make Him pull away from you. When you find yourself struggling with doubt, you find yourself among some of the “Greats” in the Bible like Job, Abraham, Sarah, Gideon, and Thomas, just to name a

Digging and running to the very end…
