Contentment, Gratitude and Humility
Contentment, gratitude, and humility go together. These three are virtues that are not necessarily exclusive of Christian character, though they are spoken much in Scripture. Having spent eleven days in Perú on a medical mission trip I have seen these three in action and it has reminded of my need of possessing them everyday. They […]

What For Others Is A Given, For Others Is A Gift
I was speaking to one of the Doctors on the trip and he was sharing how for him the surgery medical trips are not a big deal. He shared how speaking to someone, that person thought it was an incredible thing to do. I shared that even though he had been doing this for so […]

Call to Preach and Teach…but You have to Wait…A Long Time
Yesterday I heard a message from a young man who has been in youth ministry for 16 years and heard him preach in the church I attend (I believe it was his first time). He was simple but I could sense he was speaking full of the Holy Spirit. He wasn’t fancy, nor deep, but […]
