Jourdon Anderson was freed from slavery when the Union army reached the Tennessee plantation where he and his family were enslaved. He packed up his wife and kids, made his way to Ohio, worked a job, got paid for it, and lived safely in his community. His former master, Colonel Anderson, did not fare so well after...

Scripture says, “My word shall not return void.” I want to thank Wissinoming Bible Fellowship for their faithfulness in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sometimes we become discouraged and don’t see the results of our planting the seed of the Gospel. We want to give up, because we don’t see the result of our endeavors. But...

Back in the days before a minister was expected to be a CEO, an administrator, a visionary, an eloquent orator, a fund-raiser, and a psychologist as well as a shepherd and preacher, Pastor Frank Herb kept it simple.

Leadership teams had to quickly assimilate key people...

It doesn’t take very long for Brother William Sankan’s evangelist heart to become apparent. At a Souderton, PA, diner, he shares his faith with a kind smile and a gentle probing of the server’s spiritual framework. Sitting nearby, Eleanor (Nell) Ruch’s energy for outreach becomes equally visible, equally quick. Whether the needs are spiritual or temporal, she...

It seems that our problems have become God-sized and our God has become small in comparison. In Isaiah 43 the first three verses lay out for us this contrast. The waters of trials become rivers of difficulties, which intensify into fires of destruction. But He is with us, prevents...

Plan A, at our house for more than 30 years, for husband hair maintenance has been Carolyn and a hair cutting kit. Last month, we could not find the kit. I have some theories but will save them for another time. Two options presented themselves: stay indoors till the scissors are found or find a Plan B.
