On every trip, decisions are made. Along the road of life, we inevitably face intersections and decisions about which way to go. It is at those moments that we must live by faith, asking God for wisdom and believing that He will never lead in the wrong direction. It is our hope that each article on the blog will encourage you to keep enjoying the journey…and look for Jesus along the way.

Journey Through 2 Corinthians

Journey Through 2 Corinthians Many years ago, William Burns was asked, “Are you ready to preach?” His answer: “Not yet. I have not yet got a morsel for myself.” Burns understood that his own soul must be fed if he was to pass the bread on to anyone else. Keep that account in mind as…

The work of evangelism is not just for evangelists. In fact, most evangelism will never be done within the confines of a church building or in the structure of an evangelistic crusade. The gospel is most effective one on one...just like Jesus deals with every sinner. Evangelism is one recipient of the good news sharing that good news with someone else. The word evangelism is rooted in the word "evangel," literally, good news! The evangelist is not the message; he simply carries it. The evangelist is not to receive the praise; only the Evangel, Jesus Christ, is worthy of glory. We need more Evangelists.
