Have you ever extended a hand to give a homeless man a couple of bucks?  Have you possibly extended a hand to help a family (or even family member) in a tough time?  Or have you ever traveled across the Atlantic to pass out some much-needed items to those in a third world country?  Bread? [...]

I preached this sermon back at the end of May at Foothills Church.  I pray it is beneficial for you.

I have really enjoyed keeping up with the tweets from the Desiring God National Conference the past couple of days – #dgnc.  Giglio, Platt, and Piper, just to name a few, are headlining the event with the focus of the conference being pointed toward the Great Commission, and more specifically, toward reaching the unreached and [...]

Recently a couple of organizational leaders introduced me to Soularium cards.

Videos like this should serve to awaken the Church from its slumber and spring it into action.  Our mission as Christians is enormous. Islam is rapidly growing. Postmodernism, liberalism, naturalism, hedonism, atheism, agnosticism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and countless other “ism”s are vying for the world’s affections.
