O What a Saviour(s)!

“…My Father Worketh Hitherto, and I work.” John 5:17
Jesus had just healed the man who had an infirmity 38 years (John 5:5-9). The Pharisees challenged the authenticity of the miracle because it was done on the sabbath day, which meant to them that God could not have been behind the miracle, for it was His day off (i.e. His day of rest) as…

The Far Reaches of Disobedience
I could have chosen Adam as a study in the far-reaching effects of disobedience. He has touched every human being which has ever lived, is living, or will be living.

Seeing the Need for Bible Translation
People often ask me, how did I get involved in the Mongolia project? A little background is necessary. I have always had a great respect for the Bible and even before I was saved, I reverenced it. Along with my love for the Scriptures, God also put a love in my heart for missions early…
