Missionaries: God’s Navy Seals?

I have been strongly considering serving with Wycliffe for the past year or so, but unless I am sorely mistaken, that calling was confirmed last night. I met with Ed and Linda Speyers for coffee yesterday morning and

Did Jesus Have a Wife?

Don’t give up
The past couple of weeks at church have been somewhat discouraging for me. Attendance—while never “high”—has been abnormally low the past several weeks. Since Christmas, it seems that the attendance has dropped each week. This week was the lowest. I had three kids in Sunday School today, including one of
