Two Gather
I’ve been thinking about the very biblical concept of “together.” That word first occurs in the first chapter of the Bible, verse nine, when we are told that the waters under the heaven were gathered together. It was in the order of creation, that some things be gathered together and were not made to exist alone. Continue reading “Two Gather”
Pure Religion
True or False: “What the world needs today is more religion.” I suppose that most readers of “You and God” would answer that question with an unequivocal “False!” But wait a minute, please. James, in his New Testament epistle, says that there is a religion that is pure and undefiled. (James 1:27) He contrasts itContinue reading “Pure Religion”
An Incredible Missions Story
The story begins in the early 1960’s when Pete Weiss, a successful businessman in the Chicago area, trusted Christ as Savior at the age of 52, thus becoming instantaneously a “completed Jew,’ i.e., a Jew by birth and a Jewish convert to Christianity by the new birth through the Spirit.

In His Own Words
“You and God” has published two previous installments about missionary Kelvin Krueger, missionary to South Africa under the auspices of Baptist World Mission, who recently was called home to be with His Lord and Savior. The last post was a eulogy about Kelvin and this post is Kelvin’s testimony in his own words. “He beingContinue reading “In His Own Words”
“Here Am I, Send Me”
One day, when he was yet a child, Kelvin Krueger’s heart was touched by the same vision that Isaiah was moved by as he observed the Lord sitting high and lifted up while seraphim’s cried one to the other “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God almighty.” Isaiah observed the King, the Lord of hosts,Continue reading ““Here Am I, Send Me””
