Grace is Sufficient

A few weeks ago my facebook friend and preaching colleague, Doy Moyer, posted a wonderful piece about grace.

His article was based on God’s response to Paul “my grace is sufficient for you.” This was His answer to Paul’s sincere plea for the removal of his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Cor. 12:7-10).

Doy observed that God’s grace would provide Paul what he needed to accomplish His will. Indeed, as Doy points out, “The sufficiency of the Lord’s grace is difficult to grasp, yet it is a concept that the child of God must accept.” Continue reading →

Back To School Advice

Student Athlete Advancement (SSA) is an organization that provides guidance to High School student athletes who are being recruited to colleges and universities.

Weekly Recap: July 17-21

Greeting from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada

This week has been really busy.  We participated in the Wellandport VBS, teaching the adult class.

Our theme was “Fearless Deeds of the Defenders.”  It was an incredibly exciting, encouraging and faith-strengthening week. This little church puts on a BIG VBS.  It was well attended by the local members and attracted a number of visitors.  We had 40+ in  the childrens’ classes. And 20-25 in the adult class. We commend these brothers and sisters for the dedication, devotion and hard work putting this together.

BTW,  our battle cry is now, “FEARLESS.” Continue reading →
