Devoting time.
April 23, 2014. What do you devote you time to? Mostly work, school, leisure? Recently I have notice that my time devoted to God has been waning, and this is a concern to me. I’m not talking about things I do at the student center and the activities we put on, but I mean actual…

The great commission.
March 24, 2014. I am happy to say that we have another brother in Christ! My friend Daniel Chen was baptized into Christ yesterday after he went with a group to see God is not Dead. It must have been some movie. The gospel is working here in Chattanooga, and I am excited to be…
