Protect Yourself

doc — Thu, 17 May 2012 11:00:57 +0000

Where to start? Well, since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. (I Thessalonians 5:8) We all need some form of protection in this world. Think about that verse. If you are a child of God, you [...]

Wisdom

doc — Thu, 10 May 2012 11:00:07 +0000

There are many who have great intelligence, but who are not wise. On the other hand, many have very little education, and not a great deal of intelligence, but are very wise. What is the difference? Intelligence deals with your innate ability to know something…”book learning” and the ability to do so. Wisdom, however, deals [...]

Rundu 2—Day 5

doc — Fri, 04 May 2012 15:01:59 +0000

Hello again. We’ve now had 25 studies and 10 baptisms. One baptism is waiting for us this morning. On top of that we have had several follow up lessons with those just baptized and many opportunities to encourage the saints here in Kehemu, just outside of Rundu, in the district of Kavango. Our last day [...]

Rundu 2—-Day 4

doc — Thu, 03 May 2012 19:42:20 +0000

Another busy hot and dusty day. Currently 26 studies and 10 baptisms. All are well and healthy. A little sunburned but good. Tomorrow we are meeting with all the members here, a few from Walvis Bay, and Windhoek as well. It’s going to be a mini leadership workshop to encourage the current members. I’ll send [...]

The Second Coming…Judgment Day

doc — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:00:58 +0000

As I have said before, some things really “bug” me. I guess people who think they know more than the Lord are at the top of the list. Just because the Mayan calendar runs out this year, there are scores of people getting ready for it all to end…and the Mayans were not even Christians! [...]

Rundu 2—Day 3

doc — Wed, 02 May 2012 16:34:14 +0000

Several more studies today and two more baptisms. This makes a grand total so far of 18 bible studies and 8 baptisms. The two Tommy studied with today were baptized. I had two studies that were difficult. We spent a long time and came to the conclusion that they had been baptized previously for the [...]

Rundu 2—Day 2

doc — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:56:03 +0000

Several bible studies today. Two baptisms. Karen is excited about one lady she had studied with and responded and was baptized. It’s hot and very dusty, but the work continues. It’s been great to have members from Windhoek and Tsumeb here encouraging the church here in Rundu. It means a lot to them. I’ll send [...]

Rundu 2—Day 2

doc — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:40:35 +0000

From Paul. Two studies. Karen and myself. One baptism. I studied with Joshua Maseke a young man who lives here andwith his younger brother and sister. His parents are in Angola. He was very ernest and very sincere. He was baptized and everyone rejoiced. Margaret and Tommy were overwhelmed with the children. Lots and lots [...]

doc — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 00:37:26 +0000

Hello from Rundu. It’s Sunday night about 8:30. We just got here about an hour ago. Twenty-one hours in a plane; nine hours in an airport in Frankfort; nine hours driving to Rundu. Everyone is well. We are fixing to go and eat a late supper since we’ve been on the road since noon. We [...]

Teaching the Unteachable

doc — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 11:00:29 +0000

Recently, I heard a dear sister say,”You cannot quit. You absolutely can never stop trying to teach someone. You just cannot give up. Never.” With all due respect, I beg to differ. I Corinthians 14:33 teaches us that God is not a God of confusion. He does not teach us one thing in one place [...]
