Exalt The Cross In The Gathering Darkness

The cross is not simply part of our message to the world, but rightly understood it is the whole of it. Be faithful in your calling. Shine as a light in the world. Do not let compromise eclipse courage. It is better to fail in a cause that will ultimately succeed, than to succeed in […]

If You Knew Jesus Was Returning Tomorrow, What Would You Do Differently Today? /1

We interrupt our reverie on prayer to pose this question: If you knew Jesus was returning tomorrow,* what would you do differently today? We will return to the theme of prayer soon enough.
