Global & Local Missions
One of the core values of the Church of the Nazarene is a deep commitment to both local and global missions. We are a sent people, responding to the call of Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to go into all the world, witnessing to the Lordship of Christ and participating with God in the building of the Church and the extension of His kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corinthians 6:1). Our mission is to minister to the world in…
Justice & Love
To be honest, I have struggled to write what I feel God has placed on my heart. Recently I have been reminded of the evil that is so prevalent in our culture. God is a God of Justice, and these things must break His heart. Certainly, God is grieved with the killing of innocent life. God is grieved when care is not given to the widow, the orphan, and the “least of these”. Certainly, God is grieved when Christians are…

Isaiah 6:8
I first felt a definitive call to ministry when I was on a Work and Witness trip to Kenya at the age of 16. I was so excited to share this call with the other people on the trip, as well as the Kenyan pastors we have gotten to know well over the years. They all affirmed my call and told me I would do great things for the Lord. When we came home, I shared the news of my…
Nostalgia
“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:13-14) The past two months have been filled with nostalgia. In early August my son and I flew to San Diego to watch a couple of baseball games. While we were there, I showed…
Community
As much as I love summer there’s something about fall that brings routine and a different pace of life. One of my favorite things to look forward to in the fall is the starting back up of our life group. Rusty and I have been blessed over the last 20 years to be part of a life group that meets weekly. Over those years many families have come and gone due to changes in life circumstances and some of those…

Family of God Romans12:5 So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Growing up there was a song that we often repeated: I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood. Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod. For I’m part of the family, the family of God. Since I heard it so often, I really didn’t think of the significance…
The Tree With Lots of Fruit
There is a tree that grows 40 different fruits on the same tree. Can you imagine how pretty the tree would be in the springtime? It would be gorgeous. We have a cherry tree that has three different cherries on it. However, this tree I’m talking about has 40 different fruits. Peaches, apricots, plums and much more. When the tree was first thought of, it was an art project to reintroduce Americans to native fruit. It takes lots of planning. …
The Cathedral of Our Hearts
Recently my wife and I traveled to Europe where we experienced 5 different countries, slept in 16 different beds, and walked over 100 miles. This was not a resort vacation but an expedition. There were two experiences in our travels that were emotional for me. One was visiting the American Cemetery in France. So many young lives were lost in the battles for the beaches of Normandy on D-day. So many gravesites and so many names of real young men…
