    We Christians spend a lot of time learning how to witness. But, there comes a time when it's time to get off the bench, get in the game and use what we have learned to witness to those who are lost.

    Some years ago, I took a group to Glorieta, NM to attend a Sunday School training week. I became aware that a man by the name of Paul McClung was supposed to teach a specific witnessing strategy. Because of family connections to the McClung’s I decided I would participate in this particular ...read more

    Understanding the meaning and significance of Christ's ascension into heaven leads us to praise him for his grace that has saved us and for his promises that sustain us.

    They had ten days to think about it. As the disciples waited for Jesus to keep his promise to send the Holy Spirit to them, they had ten days to reflect on the fact that he had ascended into heaven. What things do you think came to their minds in the days after that amazing event? Perhaps they ...read more

    As we look at the Lamb and see Him taking sin away, as we see Him dying in our place, we ought not to hold on to that which He came to take away.
