You And Your Abilities
Text: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Phil. 4:13 This is an oft-quoted verse from the pen of the apostle Paul, a God-called missionary who was put into situations that, apart from the grace of God, would have destroyed the man, his mission, and ministry. His opposition was fierce, but hisContinue reading “You And Your Abilities”

Jason’s Story
He is my nephew, the son of Ellen’s sister and brother-in-law. They are North Carolina “Tar Heels” to the core.

“Is It Nothing to You?”
It is agonizing to read the first chapter of the book of Lamentations—Jeremiah’s pensive pleas—in light of the destruction of the city of God, Jerusalem, aka the city of David.
