Jesus Came to Be Love to a Broken & Hurting World
I once heard about a man who was adamantly against me and all I stood for. Though we had never met, I decided to seek him out and ask if he would join me for tea. I was glad when he agreed and soon the two of us were sitting together in a public place talking. As we...
Underneath All Our Studying & Reading & Serving Do We Truly Know God?
Recently, I picked up a copy of A.W. Tozer’s book The Knowledge of the Holy after many years since my first reading. Taking time to slowly read through the book, I’ve been challenged afresh by how deeply Tozer entered into the pursuit of knowing God. It’s been...

Sometime back, a friend shared with me some of his burdens. One after another he talked about discouragements and failures that seemed to have gotten the best of him. I listened prayerfully, asking the Lord to help me understand what he was going through. I sensed the...
