God’s Timing Bolivia Last Sunday I was up at 4:30 am to get in some study time, because in an hour it would be my turn to help prepare breakfast in the kitchen. Directly after breakfast, I had a group of colporteurs to keep occupied until mid-afternoon. I did not relish the thought of packing books around all day …
As we look around our strife-filled world today, it is hard to imagine that once the entire world beat in perfect unison. Not a note of discord was sounded until sin marred the beautiful harmony.

Kindergarten in the Amazon? As a teacher in the public school system in California for 13 years, I had always wished that I could teach my students spiritual truth as well as academic content.

I am so thankful for the precious promises of victory in Christ that are ours. “But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” 1 Cor. 15:57; Rom. 8:37.

It would be well to remember that every true child of …
For many years one of my favorite passages of Scripture has been the grand passage of Paul’s single-minded goal, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling …
As hard as it is to imagine, 2010 is almost gone. It seems like just yesterday when the new year was ushered in, but now another year has almost passed into eternity. Under the Levitical system, with the work of the harvest completed but before the planting and work of the new agricultural cycle began, there was the blowing of …
Blessed Missionaries – India In 2009, we were seeking the Lord about what we could do for Him here in North Dakota or wherever He would lead us to go.
