After 11 planes, 2 buses, 3 roadtrips, and over countless trains and subways rides; by the grace of God, He accomplished so very much during my two month furlough in America!!! I’ve truly never…
Japan is comprised religiously of 67.2% Buddhists and only 1% Christians. Buddhism is a nontheistic religion or philosophy, meaning; Buddhists do not believe in a Creator. Buddhists also do not believe in an afterlife as well per se, as they believe in an endless cycle of reincarnation that can only be halted through achieving “nirvana”…
If you’ve been a Christian for any amount of time, it is a sure bet that you have heard the phrase, “Let go and Let God.” This phase is coined quite frequently and that is because the sentiment behind it is a powerful and transformative one. Let me explain: The essence of this saying is…
In light of the current state of politics, the world was watching as former-president Donald Trump’s attempted assassination took place just this past week.

-Acts 4: 10-12 NIV-“then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
