Thanks for Standing with Us!

Someone once said that the busy person can always add one more thing to his “to do” list, while the person that is not busy never seems to have time for anything.  This is so true.  I think it must have to do with organizational skills, or in my case, a super-talented wife!  Still, with [...]

Mega Cities: The Next Wave of Missions

The world is seeing an urbanization occur that is not only producing cities, it is producing mega cities.  These are “mega metropolises” of 10 million or more people.  Sure, certain factors have always drawn people to cities; government, education, health care, trade, jobs, etc.  The need for cities will always be there.  Cities of varying [...]

Bear with me… I’m tweaking the site!

Thank you in advance for your patience… I’m changing a few things on this website so that it becomes more user friendly… but, the changes are causing things to go haywire.  Some pictures don’t go with the text and vice-a-versa.  Should have it fixed in a couple of days.  In fact, if you see something [...]

How many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?

Just a little humor… So how many Christians does it take to change a light bulb?  It depends… Amish: What’s a light bulb? Baptists: At least 15 – One to change the light bulb, and three committees to approve the change and decide who brings the potato salad and fried chicken. Charismatic: Only 1 – [...]

Romans 9-11… Israel’s Past, Present, and Future

The Epistle to the Romans is perhaps the greatest theological treatise of all times.  It has been said that it is very nearly “a complete systematic theology.”  We see the themes of sin, salvation, redemption, justification, sanctification, and on and on, taught as only God could teach. Now, nestled in these 16 chapter is what [...]

Random Thoughts on Archaeology and the Bible

One of the most amazing concepts to me relates to the presuppositions that we go into our science with.  Typical secular archaeology seems to have been tainted by Darwinism.  This has led to supernatural presuppositions, poor biblical interpretation, and/or poor interpretation of archaeological findings. Of course, most findings are incredibly insightful and fascinating.  I love [...]

The Bible is an Archaeological Document

Why am I posting this article in a blog that has to do with reaching the lost in a different country?  It has to do with sensing a need to show that the Bible IS God’s Word to those that would deny its claims. There is no hope for salvation or sanctification apart from the [...]

Megacities: The Next Wave of Missions

Sao Paulo has grown by 10,000,000 people since the last census.  What’s going on?  There is an influx of people from other areas of Brazil coming here to find work.  The interesting thing about Sao Paulo is that the new arrivals for the most part are Brazilian and not so much from other countries. What [...]

Megacities: 27 Million Lives

This city is also the most prosperous in the nation making it the powerhouse that drives Brazil’s thriving economy.  Sao Paulo also has the [...]

Pray for the Incredible Lostness

The mission is not done. The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) has not been fulfilled. In fact, the only way we can measure of ‘fulfilling the mission’ is to look at the impact being made on the lostness that remains, and that lostness is still massive!
