June 1, 2014. Tonight I experienced my first gospel meeting in a foreign country. I guess it wasn’t too different than the ones we do in America, except the singing was longer (which I enjoyed) and it seemed like people were more genuinely happy to be there. Not that I don’t see that in America,…

The Old Testament.
May 31, 2014. Yesterday I finished reading through the Old Testament in my second journey through the bible. I honestly didn’t appreciate the Old Testament until the first time I read through the bible. Now that I have, I absolutely love it. It really puts Christianity in perspective. It reveals the character of God and…
The sin of partiality.
May 30, 2014. Tonight I gave the sermon at church here in Nicaragua about the attitude we should have as Christians towards both those inside the church and those outside. The main point of the lesson was the sin of partiality and how it can creep up on even the “best” of Christians. I think…
The danger of leading.
May 29, 2014. “My anger is hot against the shepherds, and I will punish the leaders; for the Lord of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like his majestic steed in battle.” (Zechariah 10:3) Are you a leader in the church? Do you teach? Before I start into…
Building fellowship.
May 28, 2014. Today was the last day of work with the first group that was here. Even though we have a second group coming, it is very sad to see the first group go. There will be a different dynamic, though still good I’m sure. I have especially loved getting to know the team…
Timothy’s charge.
May 27, 2014. “As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not to teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith. The aim of our…
Just a little talk with Jesus.
May 25, 2014. O Lord, my God, may you be glorified from all the earth. Let every knee bow, let every mouth confess and let all praise be given to the Almighty. O Lord, you are God and not man. Your ways are above our ways, your thoughts above our thoughts. Your steadfast love never…
Why is it, Lord?
May 24, 2014. Lord God above all that ever is, Praise and honor are due you. To him who sits on the throne of heaven, Let all creation praise as is due. Why is it, Lord, why is it so? We are unworthy to call your name. Why is it, Lord, why is it so?…
Omnipotence.
May 23, 2014. Today was our day off and a group of us went to Leon to surf down a volcano (and by ‘surf,’ it was really just sledding down the side). The hike up the volcano was tiring, but it was totally worth it. To see the world from that perspective was amazing. It…
The Jonah you never knew.
May 22, 2014. Today was our last day at the English Language Academy, but hopefully we sowed enough seed to have some of our readers come to the party we are having tomorrow or the campaign we are having in the first week of June. If you don’t normally read my blog, I am currently…
The cost of discipleship.
May 21, 2014. Today it rained. Such a simple sentence, but what an impact it had on our mindset. We had just finished teaching English at the academy and we got back to the church went it decided to downpour. It was honestly the happiest I have been all trip. I was ecstatic. After we…
