The flesh is too strong for anybody to overcome. This is why Paul instructs Timothy to “Flee youthful lusts.” He did not say “Fight youthful lusts.” He said “Flee.” Some battles cannot be won. The only way to overcome temptation to the flesh is by fleeing. Read more in my blog about the need for Morality in the Ministry.

Dr. Viggo Olsen said in his book Daktar: Diplomat to Bangladesh, “Only one out of every 100 Christians has the youth, the health, and the Bible training to be a foreign missionary.”

Indeed there is a lot to consider and prepare for if you are going to live in a foreign country as a missionary. In today's blog, I recount some of the practical areas that our family had to prepare for before moving to Nepal 10 years ago. The following areas include emotionally, culturally, financially, physically, and spiritually.

Chapter 15 from “Fully Equipped: Having What It Takes to Give Your All” That the […]

The idea of immigrants coming to America is not a new trend. But perhaps it just feels more diverse than 50 years ago. America has always been known as "the melting pot" with many immigrants coming to the land of opportunity with the hope of a better future. In fact, many of our forefathers came as pilgrims seeking respite from tyrannical leaders desperately looking for a place to freely worship God.

Perhaps, we Christians need to lay down our patriotic glasses that we wear while looking down our nose on those who are settling on our lands and put on our missionary lenses. We are truly in a time with unparalleled opportunities to reach the world's nationalities living within our own borders. We are happy to send missionaries across the sea "to reach the lost at any cost"; but we shun the cost which affects my personal comforts!

Yes, foreigners coming to America may be bringing their religion that goes against our belief system! But greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world! This is our opportunity to shine the light of Jesus, not retreat with our few friends at church and complain about this lost world that's getting worse by the day. Let us rise up to the unprecedented possibilities in front of us, befriend the foreigner, and introduce them to Jesus Christ!

Recently I read that 1 out of 6 people in Massachusetts were born in another country. The percentage of immigrants and refugees has dramatically increased not only on our southern border, but even more in New England! How do we respond? In today’s blog, I try to provide a helpful perspective that should be reflected by a Christ-like response to the ever changing demographics in our own country.

All I wanted was to locate some chums (eyeglass accessories) for a missionary friend that […]
