Is Genesis History

Do you remember what happened a few years ago—it was all over the news—like say 6,000 years or more ago? Yeah, me neither. I can hardly remember what I had for breakfast; I certainly cannot remember my birth, let alone the beginning of space and time. Of course, we are at a disadvantage, are we not? You see, one of the key issues with understanding history is simply this: we were not there. All we have to go on is little bread crumbs that the centuries have left. Everyone has the same available evidence. But how we interpret that evidence […]

February, Valentine’s Day and love – these thoughts are associated together at this time of year. We assign a wide array of meanings to this word, love. Love carries us to the heights of ecstasy and to the deepest valley of despair. The Bible tells Christians our number one duty is to love God with all our heart as well as loving others as ourselves. Love is to be the purest of motivations (1 Corinthians 13). How can we develop a heart that loves more?   The source of love All human love no matter how sincere is tainted by […]

Persecution against Christians worsened again in 2016, with an estimated 215,000 experiencing “high, very high, or extreme persecution” in 50 nations around the world, according to the 2017 World Watch List. Open Doors, an international organization that monitors and supports persecuted Christians, compiled the list and released it on Jan. 11 in Washington, D.C., calling it a “wake up call for Christians” to advocate on behalf of their persecuted brothers and sisters and “a call to world leaders to take action.” In light of the deteriorating situation for religious minorities, Open Doors USA President and CEO David Curry urged the […]

Black History

In honor of Black History Month, here are significant mission events that happened on these dates in February involving African-Americans. These are just a few examples of what people of one racial background are doing to fulfill the Great Commission.   February 1, 1823 Betsey Stockton, a young black woman in company with 13 white missionaries, was on board a ship rounding the southern tip of South America. Those missionaries were on their way to the Sandwich Islands (present-day Hawaii). They had left New Haven, Connecticut in November, having been sent by the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions, […]

Human trafficking is a horrible evil present in our world today. Worse than simple trafficking, however, is child sex trafficking; a booming criminal industry that specializes in providing depraved individuals with children to satiate their perverted desires. These children are often sold multiple times per day to such individuals to be used, humiliated and abused, and passed along. These children are human beings made in the image of God, who are being treated so horribly. Operation Underground Railroad (OUR) has dedicated itself to freeing children from these appalling situations and getting them safely back to their families or to new […]

Weddings can be simultaneously beautiful, enjoyable events as well as stress-producing, thanks to a virtual plethora of choices from colors, to flowers, music to food. One choice that often gets overlooked is whether to use conventional vows or to write your own. On the one hand, using conventional vows is not only easy, but a time-honored tradition incorporating many tenets of the faith-based marriage such as “through sickness and health,” or “til death do us part.” Regardless of whether these formal phrases are included in the spoken vows of a marriage ceremony, they are an inseparable part of the very […]

First of all, if you think there is a perfect mate out there, you’re probably also searching for a unicorn-riding leprechaun carrying a golden egg-laying goose. Believe me when I say this does not come from a place of cynicism but of reality. Too many of us have a glamorized view of what our potential mate should portray. Hollywood movies have done their share of skewing our views of what true love realistically embodies. And is true love the only requirement when searching for a spouse? Interview long-term married couples and most would say true love is just the tip […]
