Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had…

When Dreams Come Crashing Down.

When Dreams Come Crashing Down.

Some of you may have known that for the past year our family has prepared for a year in Ethiopia. I was called to teach at a theological seminary there.

Are you afraid of the unknown?

Are you afraid of the unknown? Many of us keep away from the unknown paths and prefer to stay in the comfort zone where we can handle things. But we are not called to stay where we can handle things.

The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them…
