Before I head out on mission, always I put a new Bible in my bag. The Bible is the same as the Bible I have used for years, but it is new. Why do I pack an extra Bible? I pack it so I can give it away! Throughout the mission I am using the…

Spiritual Father
The honest challenge of discipleship is: To put Christ first is not merely to say that He is important. It is to allow Him to have the final word. It is when His will is above my desire. His truth above my justification. His path above my comfort. His Kingdom above my personal security. His…
