A Covering for the Persecuted, A Savior for the Persecutors
As we pray for believers in danger throughout the world this Christmas, I have been thinking on Mary and Joseph’s escape to Egypt in Matthew 2:13-15, when Herod set out to murder Jesus. What a threat to satan’s purposes of killing, stealing and destroying is this One who came to give us abundant life. JohnContinue reading “A Covering for the Persecuted, A Savior for the Persecutors”

As we gather with loved ones this Christmas and worship God freely in our churches, let’s take a moment to pray together as a family for persecuted Christians throughout the world who don’t have that freedom or who are in the midst of a war not their own.

Warmth for the Lonely
Winters are cold in the dark area of the world where the Lord called our family to share the gospel for almost 30 years. Lots of snow and ice. Not many people outside.

No, I’m not talking about the Grinch,Continue reading “Warmth for the Lonely”

For most of theContinue reading “Christmas in the Dark”
