Once the plane landed, the Chinese military immediately took the crew into custody. That was eight days ago, and our ...read more

    Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

    Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

    I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more

    We find as Jesus went to Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Galgotha, and the Grave, that he conquered every obstacle that was set before him, just as we must.

    When we think of Calvary, it speaks of sins forgiven, but in order for those sins to be forgiven there had to be someone to pay the price. It speaks of Peace with God, but before we can experience Peace there must be Victory. It speaks of Eternal Life, but before we can have eternal life, the ...read more
