A Shot in the Dark

I was already awake at 3 AM, but this was not that unusual. It was only the second night and the hotel bed and I were still getting acquainted. As I tried laying on one side and then the other, two muffled gunshots turned the night on like a key in an ignition. The once still night air was now filled with loud voices. I got up to peer through the curtains. Just fifty yards from the hotel, a Waffle House parking lot was swarming with people, talking loudly. Most were in two large groups and more were inside the … Continue reading A Shot in the Dark

“Tell them the good news of Christ from a heart of love and a life of service.” ~ John Piper I am keeping this post short, again, because I know you will enjoy one of the articles from The Sower’s online newspaper. (The newspaper typically changes near the beginning of the month and has a few articles from other web sites and a story from The Sower’s archives.) In his sermon, “I’m Sending You To Open Their Eyes,” John Piper explains the New Birth and how God wants to use us to reach people with the Gospel, including good, practical … Continue reading Open Their Eyes

A white Christmas. Relaxing and playing games with the family. Next week promises to be another wonderful family get-together. I’m looking forward to it, especially since we have had an incredibly busy few weeks preparing for our Christmas celebration. I just have not had the time to post on The Sower this month like I wanted to. Thank you so much for reading the Sower. Have a great Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior and I look forward to serving you in 2008 as God leads. I’m doing my last-minute packing and just remembered to pack my tracts for … Continue reading Give God More Room to Work

A Walk By Faith

mikeandsus

Strange noises from who knows what came out of the jungle. Every time Janey heard the strange sounds, she looked in the direction of the noise and fell into the underbrush . . . probably disturbing the “who-knows-whats” of the African bush. Earlier, Janey and a group of others had traveled for hours and arrived at “who-knows-where” and decided to have a picnic. They had been showing the “Jesus” film near Illoran, Nigeria, and decided to take a little break from the showings at a beautiful waterfall. Afterwards, they discovered the van was stuck. The group found several young boys … Continue reading A Walk By Faith
