I had just settled down with my coffee and laptop when a man asked for the time. “Three o’clock already?” he replied and got on the phone. Then he asked if I could check the Live Scores on Goal.com. “Goal?” I asked. “Yes, goal,” he said. He raised his hands, “Like Gooooo-aaaaa-lllll! Goal dot com.” He […]
Faith to be Saved and Healed
The moments I treasure most in the ministry are the ones when kids ask about God or Jesus on their own, and I get to pray with them to ask Jesus as their Savior. I always struggle not to cry because they’re oh so adorable and sincere! Yet I know, as you all know, that […]
