May 20, 2014. This trip already seems like it is flying by. I’m trying to savor the moments, but as is with all good times, they seem to be quickly fleeting. I cannot say enough about the people here in the church. We have been more than taken care of daily. They know how to…

Hosea.
May 19, 2014. Today we started our English lessons with the readers who wanted to learn English, and I would say it was a success. We had to do an impromptu VBS type ordeal in the afternoon because so many kids showed up who we weren’t prepared for entirely. Tomorrow we should be ready if…
Short term mission goals.
May 18, 2014. Day three of Nicaragua and I think we are a bit anxious to settle into what we came here to do: teach English using the an easy to read version of the book of Luke. Tomorrow will begin our first day of really teaching English. Pray for us that our trip may…
Two by two.
May 7, 2014. Day two of Nicaragua and I think things are going great! Today we spilt up into three groups, one went to the academy to teach english, one went door knocking in the community and one went to members houses. I was with the group that visited members houses. It was really cool…
The harvest is white.
May 16, 2014. Today was our first day in Nicaragua and I am very excited to be here. It is so great to know that there are Christians here in a completely different country that I can call part of my family. Some people might say that short term mission work is of little to…
Nicaragua.
May 15, 2014. I am about to head out of the country for a little less than four weeks on a mission trip to Nicaragua. I’ve very excited to get this opportunity again to travel to around around the world and visit with fellow Christians who have a different language and a different culture, but…
Self examination.
May 14, 2014. Today’s post will be short and sweet, but to get anything out of it, there will have to be some work on your part. I was having a discussion today, and when we came to talk about specific doctrines and belief, one of my first go to questions is “Why? Why do…
There ain’t no rest for the wicked; or is there?
May 13, 2014. Have you ever wondered why revenge is a bad thing? Instead of just accepting it as a sin, have you thought about the meaning behind it? I suppose we could do well to do this for many sins, as we might better understand the character of God in this manner. The Almighty…
The valley of dry bones.
May 12, 2014. “The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the…
Are we Christians?
May 11, 2014. Today we ask a hard question. It’s a question that I don’t like to ask, but one that I believe is necessary. Before we continue on, just know that today’s post is not for the casual reader who does not like conflict or questions that challenge his or her faith. If this…
Practical Christianity.
May 10, 2014. Today I want to talk about practical ways to live the Christian walk. Over the past few months we have discussed more theology than practicality, and sometimes I believe we can get too caught up into the words of Christ and forget about the application. There have been many times in my…
No condemnation in Christ Jesus.
May 9, 2014. I have been thinking lately about what it will be like in the resurrection, when all creation is made new and we will dwell with our Lord as we did in the beginning. I imagine a land full of all the good we have today minus all the bad. If we were…
