I had the honor of conducting a funeral service for a very dear lady last weekend. It was important that the message of Christ and His salvation be presented. It is always a challenge to do that well in times like this. I got an idea. What if Lily could just tell them herself? I…

Lately, I have been thinking a lot about the church and how to become more effective. With all of the challenges that go on from day to day within its four walls, it is so hard to step back and gain perspective. I wonder if that is the method the devil uses to keep us…

After a typical Sunday service, two days of travel, and the excitement of such an amazing trip, I was finally in the Holy Land! To say that I was excited would be understating exactly what I was feeling. I was honored that my church was so eager to invest in me and my ministry to…
