“Testing is a way to get at the truth sideways, and if you believe that the only way to get at the truth about another person is to administer a test, then you’re not only fooling yourself, but you’re also demonstrating a very negative view of mankind. You’re saying that truth cannot be determined by asking the subject, or those who know the subject, but only by asking a testing expert. (-George Dudley, President of Behavioral Science Research Press) Missionary candidacy...
“If a parent forced a child to take alcohol, a depressant, in the mistaken belief that he was curing a “chemical imbalance” in the child’s brain, we would not hesitate to have the child removed from the home. Yet millions of children are forced to take mind-altering drugs in the equally mistaken belief that depression and other mental illnesses are biologically caused, for which there is not a shred of scientific evidence.” -Keith Hoeller, editor in chief, Review of Existential...
I want to introduce you to an unbelievable work of God’s grace. Her name is Hannah. I met her at our orientation to Action Missions International this fall. She was a candidate to join ACTION and plans to go to Brazil as a missionary. She has already spent several months there. When you see Hannah you are tempted to think there is no way this precious life can make it on the mission field. Her jaw is squared and locked. She...
“Gems from the Seminars” There is one thing that the Malawians do well. They can pray! When they take time to praise God and ask for his blessings it is like being in an old time Pentecostal revival. Everybody prays out loud, most with hands raised. It is a moving experience. One thing they don’t do well is apply Scriptures. I think the problem is less about arrogance and more about ignorance. They simply have not been taught the principles and commands...
I wish all of you could visit Malawi. It is called the “Warm Heart of Africa” and that it is. The people are so gracious and hospitable. We have been welcomed into their hearts and we feel like family. The other day the Chairman of Action Malawi Trust, our host, decided he had a “word from the Lord” for us. He decided that we should spend the rest of our lives in Ntcheu. Sarah could do the ladies ministry; Holly...
As you would expect, we are constantly adjusting to life in the midst of Africa. Sleeping under a mosquito net, having our water for baths and the toilets delivered to us on the heads of the locals, eating the Malawian cuisine, learning the language and the customs are a daily challenge. Everyday we experience something new. Every day we face new challenges. Everyday we become more Malawian. The people here are very warm and hospitable. They have set ways of greeting...
“May those who fear you rejoice when they see me; for I have put my hope in your word.” [Psalm 119:74] When I left the pastorate, I prayed for three things: That the Lord would provide opportunity for ministry around the world; that He would provide the funds necessary for that ministry; and finally, where ever He would send me I would find people waiting and hungry for His Word. He has graciously answered all three. In...
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those men who do evil, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who worship by the Spirit of God, who glory in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—though I myself have reasons for such confidence. (Phil...
To take for truth what cannot be but true… And bind the task assign’d thee to thine heart: Happy the man there seeking and there found, Happy the nation where such men abound. -William Cowper Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. [Col 3:23-25] We see a nation deteriorating before our...
