I finally caught the disease that’s caused a global economic meltdown and all this mass hysteria. On Wednesday 11/18/20 I felt pretty normal all day. However, when I went to bed (around midnight) I started feeling extremely cold – colder than usual. I was shivering uncontrollably, and no matter how much I bundled up I couldn’t stop. My body was tensing up, and consequently started aching. In the middle of …
It’s Wednesday, so that means it’s day 3 in the journey. Or is it day 4? It’s hard to keep track with the time difference and backwards schedule. Here’s what’s happened so far: 11/3/19 – After church we drove from Fresno to LAX. A couple hours behind schedule, but still made great time. 11/4/19 – At midnight we flew 14 hours to China and had an 8-hour layover. …
When God radically changed my heart in 2007, I instantly fell in love with Jesus and His message of salvation for sinners like me. I quickly realized my call to be His minister, telling as many people as I could about the Good News. When I learned about India my heart was instantly burdened for this great country. India is home to over 1 billion people and 2,500+ distinct people …
If I’m being completely honest with myself, I have had two fears that have propelled much of my drive, but have simultaneously caused a lot of inconsistency and doubt in my life. I’ve had these two fears in the back of my mind for years. I can attribute much of my success and achievements to these fears; as well as some of my procrastination and hesitancy. The struggle is real, …
I was rummaging through some old files in an archive hard drive of mine and came across some old journal entries and stuff that I used to type out. I found this interesting journal entry about some witnessing encounters I had back in 2009. At this point I was just over 2 years old in the Lord. Here’s how it read: Me, Chris Bean and Kyle Dunlap went to the …
It’s almost midnight on September 13, 2014. I just finished watching “The Unbelievers” – a documentary following Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss as they travel the world speaking at different venues and events spreading their “gospel” of atheism. From time-to-time I watch films, documentaries, speeches, debates, etc. created by people with different beliefs than me to make sure I have some insight into their worldview before I engage them in …
VERSE:Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing. After three days the officers went through the camp and commanded the people: “When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God carried by the Levitical priests, you must break camp and follow it. But keep a distance of about 1,000 yards between yourselves and the ark. …
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.” 2 Peter 1:3 This small verse is packed full of huge truths. At the very least, we can see that as believers we have absolutely no excuse for living in sin, defeat, immorality, or immaturity. It says clearly that God has (past tense) …
If you walk through the process of discipleship with enough people, undoubtedly you will hear things like, “man, this is just hard” or “it’s so easy for me to fall”, “I have a hard time with ____”, etc. Maybe you have felt that yourself. Maybe you still feel that way! Basically, detachment from worldly pleasures is often a difficult task for many, and they chalk it up to their lack …
The Evolution VS God video was just released to the public for free viewing today. It’s a great video that gives some practical questions to ask those who put their faith in what the “experts” claim to be fact. The reality is that evolution is not a fact that is proven by the scientific method – rather, it is a theory that has to be believed by faith. Most people …
