In a March 3, 2021, interview with ChurchLeaders.com, (see link below), Tim Keller said, “I personally don’t think same-sex marriage is a good idea.” Really? Not a good idea? Uh…How about it being sin?!? I think it’s always a bad idea to sin, but calling sin “not a good idea,” especially for a Bible teacher, […]

In the 1930s, China experienced a great outpouring of God’s Spirit. Often referred to as Asia Harvest or the Shantung Revival, thousands of Chinese gave their hearts to Christ and thousands of Believers were endowed with Holy Ghost power. It was a remarkable time to be serving as a missionary in China! Over 10,000 missionaries […]

My friend, Dr. Thane Hutcherson Ury, posted a meme recently on Facebook. The words caught me off guard, like when you know what someone is going to say and you are about to finish their sentence, and then at the very end they surprise you and suddenly you realize you had no idea where they […]

Jamie, as a wife, full-time working mother of three and a medical professional, brings a unique perspective to the world around her and the community in which she lives. Jamie is a follower of Jesus. She’s also a millennial, though no label is sufficient to […]

She was 4’10” on the outside, but 9’7” and 375 pounds of raging obedience on the inside! by Thane Hutcherson Ury, PhD   Most missionaries must endure demanding training, be backed by a bona fide mission agency, and do rigorous fund-raising before going to the mission field. For many, this means years of preparation, and also (sadly) the […]

Every year I have to face this battle. Naively, I thought this year would be different. Because of all we’ve faced in 2020, including the outcome of this year’s election, I thought the Church would be seeking God and revival more than anytime before in my life. I thought the wake up call had come […]

Daryl and I watched “Chariots of Fire” Sunday night. It’s been 20 years since we’ve seen this Academy-Award winning film. The film poignantly tells of the life and faith of Scotsman Eric Liddell, once deemed the fastest man on earth. Liddell qualified for the 1924 Olympics in Paris. Born in China to missionary parents, he […]

In 1998, I returned to China to live one semester without Daryl in order to finish my PhD research. South China was a dark place. It was nothing like the old Manchuria where I’d lived years before. China was changing rapidly and all the things I’d loved and admired about its people had been replaced […]

SO, WHAT DOES this new normal look like? Well, it won’t look like North Korea, if you are worried about that. But it will look like every failing socialist country across Europe.   Think about Holland, for example–legalized drugs; legalized prostitution, even for 12-year-old children; legalized euthanasia for the elderly, new born, and terminally ill.

This morning I started my day reading Jeremiah Johnson’s apology and well-written letter. I’m not a follower of his, but I must say this was so meaningful and moved me to tears. If you can, take a minute and read how godly men take responsibility. God bless him! https://cf.jeremiahjohnson.tv/jjm-apology-01-07-eub… Now it’s my turn. As a […]
