I spend a lot of time helping missionaries and those associated with missions to learn how to pray more effectively for those they are trying to reach with the Gospel. Any Great Commission Christian will passionately desire for all tribes and nations to hear and respond to the good news. There are good and accepted ways for us to reach out to an unreached people group.Can you imagine a missionary attempting to bring the Gospel to a tribal group by:*   refusing to learn their language*   condemning all of their cultural practices*   refusing to spend time with them because their lifestyle...

Shirley DobsonEmpty of Self, Full of GodIn John 15:5, Jesus said, “Apart from me you can do nothing.”When he was a young man, John Wesley wrote to his mother: My desire is to know and feel that I am nothing, that I have nothing, and that I can do nothing.

It defies the very... Read more >>

Since the beginning of our nation, brave American men and women have given their lives defending our rights and freedoms. The motivation for this kind of sacrifice can be seen in the lyrics of the Army Hymn.

Faith in God, then we're right, and we'll fight with all our might, as the Army keeps rolling along.” A Day to RememberAs a nation, our leaders have... Read more >>

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13A wise person once said, “Freedom is never free,” and that is certainly true in America. Widely considered America’s first spy, patriot Nathan Hale was hanged by the British on September 22, 1776, during the Revolutionary War. Before he gave his life for his nation, he gave these famous words: “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” Since the conception of America, the United States military men and women, such as Hale, have stood as a...
