This summer I returned to my country of service after a year-long home assignment in the States. After finding a new apartment and unpacking my things from storage, I began diving back into ministry. One of my ministry projects is developing a set of oral Bible stories in the local language. This project involves 6 local women who have different roles...

(I gave this message at The Lighthouse Chapel (C&MA) in Port St.. Lucie FL on June 23, 2019. You may view the PowerPoint slides of this message HERE ) A number of years ago, Pastor Samuel Rodriquez posted the following on Facebook.

Genesis 1:1 The Beginning and Foundation of All Revelation
Genesis means "beginnings" and the first book of the Bible begins by raising our thoughts to the most important subject matter for us as human beings - the existence of God. "In the beginning God." God has a purpose here when He begins His revelation to us - He wants us to see Him;...

Gospel Gem The withering of Eden’s flowers has often caused a fading in the garden of our souls. We have mourned exceedingly that we have been driven out to till the ground with the sweat of our brow—that the curse should have glanced on us through the sin of our first parent, and we have been ready to cry, “Woe worth the day in which our parent stre...

Years ago, during a Sunday School illustration, as I recall, the teacher had arranged a maze in the gym. The lesson that was being illustrated was about hearing the voice of God. We were paired up, I was with my wife, with one person being blind folded and the other at the beginning of the maze. The blind folded individual was to...

Recently I saw a posting from churchleaders.com entitled “Authorities in Vietnam Demand 33 Hmong Renounce Their Faith” in Facebook. I shared it on my page because these were my brothers and sisters. I am a Hmong Christian too. I have always known that the government persecuted believers in Vietnam. One of my friends in the country informed me that they we...

2 Corinthians 7:10 "Godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation without regret."
Many people live with regrets for past failures. They can never seem to break loose completely from the chains of those past failures. I have sometimes struggled with feelings of regret.
But regret alone redeems nothing.
Repentance is the necess...

This is kind of a weird first entry, but I guess it just is something that I don't completely understand. I have noticed that a lot of churches are starting to call lay people pastors without any kind of ordination. Don't get me wrong, I don't think you have to have a title to minister. My concern lies in the fact that it brings down credibility. Has any...

THE DEATH OF THE SELF-LIFE
This we know - - that our old self is crucified with Him, in order that our sinful nature might be deprived of its power, so that we should no longer be the slaves of sin; for he who has paid the penalty of death stands absolved from his sin. - - Romans 6:6

Then each went to his own home.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, Teacher, this woman was...

The grace of God teaches us to say No to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

While I have not posted or been on here much I am looking forward to reading the testimonies and all the workings of our wonderful Jesus in your lives. I have kept many in my prayers as many of you have helped me grow up so to speak in Christ. I am n...

DEAR BELOVED PEOPLE OF GOD
IT IS TRUE THAT FREEDOM IS NOT FREE, IT IS BOUGHT THROUGH BLOOD. WE ARE FREE BECAUSE JESUS CHRIST SHED BLOOD FOR US. HE PAID THE PRICE FOR US. THEREFORE FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE IT IS BOUGHT THROUGH BLOOD.

I read an article Tuesday morning that distressed me.
I thought about just letting it go. I have a few friends who still arent talking to me much following previous posts on contemporary issues. It is certainly easier and less heartbreaking to simply be quiet. However I cannot do that. These issues, and their impact on our faith, are too important....
