How Can They Preach Unless They Are Sent?

Early this morning, I read the words, “How can they preach unless they are sent?”  Of course, this account coming from Romans 10, also states:  “How can they hear without a preacher?”  Additionally, the passionate beginning words of this chapter state:  “Brothers, my heart’s desires and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation!”  [...]

God Opens Doors

We talked yesterday about Nehemiah’s burden. But how did his burden and vision become reality? Remember, Nehemiah asked God for miracles, and the first one God granted was in the heart of a King.
Nehemiah’s job title does not sound very illustrious. He was “cup-bearer to the King.” But it actually was a very significant role [...]

In Nehemiah chapter 1, we find Nehemiah in a foreign land, serving a foreign King, all while his home of Jerusalem sits in ruins. Nehemiah was painfully aware of what had become of his city [...]

Juggling…

Hey, do you ever feel like you are juggling matters in life? I promise you I feel that way more than not. Is it bad? No, because it is necessary. It is necessary in order to meet the demands of normal life. What I have found is that what I juggle has changed through the years.
