Love Looks Like Something

It always feels awkward to me to ask for donations, even for a Christian cause - especially for aChristian cause. Did Jesus ask for money? I think not, but he didn't eat air either. We knowfrom scripture there were followers of Jesus that God used to meet the material needs of himand his disciples. So, I've come to rethink why we, as a charity, do what we do - i.e. raisemoney for projects and ministry...

What’s In It for Me?

The rich young ruler had determined that having financial security was more important than having eternal security for his soul. As he walked away from Jesus, Peter asked, “We chose to follow You and we’ve given up our businesses and homes to follow You. What about us?” Jesus told him that “in the renewal of all things” (a reference to the Messianic Age with new heavens and a new earth), the twelve disciples would be well compensated with remarkable privileges. “But”, Jesus said, “many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.” (Matthew 19:30)....

Staying True to God

Do you remember the first day your child left for school, or you dropped them off at childcare? They were on your mind constantly. It didn’t get any easier when, years later, they left home for college or the military. Still, you worried. You wondered what they were doing. Were they safe? Were they happy or sad? Were they standing up to the lies and temptations confronting them? Were they staying true to Christ? The parents of Daniel in the Bible had the same concerns. But, instead of waving goodbyes to Daniel heading off to college or the military, their last...
