Larry Kreider – Interview on spiritual fathers and mothers
Let’s go on a “worry fast”
I have found that worrying is a huge waste of time and energy. Corrie Ten Boom survived a Nazi concentration camp and once said, “Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows; it empties today of its strength.” How true. The joy of the Lord is our strength (Neh. 8:10), and it is really hard [...]
The Secret to Life
Hudson Taylor, the famed missionary to China once said, “I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking God to do His work though me.” Hudson had found the secret to life; recognizing that when he invited Christ into his life, Jesus Christ [...]
