Eduardo’s Wife Is Dying
Finally, Eduardo was stepping out to his car. I had been gardening and hoped he would come outside. I ran to get the Magdalena DVD waiting by the front door and rushed across the street. “This is for your wife,” I explained. “It is in Spanish.” “Thank you,” he smiled weakly, the gold glistening on his teeth. Eduardo accepted the DVD and I went on to tell him the movie was about Jesus and about the different women He healed. He thanked me and I concluded our brief conversation with, “We are praying for you.” I wrote about our neighbors, … Continue reading Eduardo’s Wife Is Dying
The Sower and His Seed
I learned a lot from Joe Jack Dement. Since the excellent video on the Parable of The Sower, featured in the last post, is only on the web temporarily, I am posting some thoughts I gleaned from this 80-year-old wheat farmer. Jesus explains the seeds and the meaning behind the birds, the footpath, and the other parallels in His parable. Mr. Dement’s knowledge of wheat farming adds to our understanding of the parable.

You can watch a video of Europe’s first day of prayer, Christustag.04 (Christ’s Day) and find prayer requests for the different European countries. Christ Day will begin this year on October 17th in Finland. Continue reading Praying for Europe
The Moral Choice
“Are you reading the Bible?” I asked as I sat at the kitchen table with a friend of our son’s, Aadesh. “Yes,” he replied. Aadesh had asked for a Bible earlier this summer after I had told him that the Bible had a lot to say about financial principles. “What are you reading?” “Romans,” he replied. Wow! I thought. What a deep book of the Bible to start in! Aadesh explained that some other people had recommended Romans as a good place to start with to learn what God says about finances. He was very interested and seemed to agree … Continue reading The Moral Choice
God Provides Ben’s New Wheels
Thank you for praying for us after Ben and Josh were hit last month. We are very grateful to God for watching over them. Amazingly, the boys only had minor injuries even though Ben’s car was totaled. Many of you who receive our eNewsletter were praying for this situation. God answered your specific prayers: • The other driver’s insurance awarded Ben a generous check. • Ben has a new used car, thanks to the generosity of a family friend. Ben is washing his new car in this photo. Please continue to pray for Ben to find permanent employment in his … Continue reading God Provides Ben’s New Wheels
