Ministry Updates

Early each Sunday morning, a longtime family friend and elder at our church runs by our house as part of his regular exercise ritual.  Recently, he added a slight deviation to his course.  He runs up our drive-way, picks up our newspaper and takes it up to our front doorstep. 

It's a small gesture on his part, but big to me.  I don't particularly enjoy walking down my long driveway to pick up my morning newspaper -- particularly before I've had my coffee!  Thanks to Carl, though, I know that each Sunday morning all I need to do ...

My mom is a Physical Therapist.

My 20-yr-old sister is studying to become a licensed Pharmacy Technician.

My 11-yr-old brother's favorite class is science.

My best friend is a nurse.

So are a number of my aunts.

And I like....reading and talking to new people....

Science was never my favorite subject, nor my best. I love the idea of working in the medical field - what a fulfilling job and amazing way to help people! And I am so thankful for all of the doctors, nurses, dentists, orthodontists, and specialists that have helped my family and me over the ...

As a Christian, we know our future is in heaven.  But how can we live like we're in heaven while we're still on earth?

The Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview exists to equip the Church to winsomely apply a biblical perspective in all spheres of life -- public and private.  Along with their daily radio broadcasts of "BreakPoint^®" and "The Point^®," the ...

Jumped in my car, started it and began to drive . . . I'd made it about a half a block and the sensor alerted me that I'd forgotten to put on my seat belt.

The oversight reminded me of how often I begin my days so quickly and without thought . . . rushing off into the day without regard to the most important safety measure . . . my spiritual "seat belt."

While the analogy is mine, the underlying message is what Anne Graham Lotz shared last week to a full arena in Augusta, GA.  

"It's high time we came back to the cross ...

It's been over a week since True Woman '12 concluded, but the impact continues.  God truly met with the over 8,200 women present-plus the thousands more who joined us from eighty-three countries on the LIVE video feed.  Many returned home as different church members, wives, moms, co-workers, and neighbors, determined to make every moment count for eternity.

On today's "Revive Our Hearts^™" broadcast, Nancy Leigh DeMoss shares a recap of the conference along with testimonies from those who attended-stories like these . . .

"I was going to kill myself Friday.  The Lord upheld me until the connection with the ...
