Breakthrough

As early as 1802, plans were being made for an alternate route across the English Channel, connecting two different nations, languages, and customs. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain and France’s President Francois Mitterrand signed an agreement in 1984 that the link would benefit both nations. The digging started from both ends of the English Channel. The important …

Living In the First Verse

Our choir sings a song based on the third chapter of Psalms, one that was made popular by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. The familiar lyrics begin:  Many are they increased that trouble me! Many are they that rise up against me. Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him …

Fathers On the Floor

“The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God” (Galatians 8:16). My youngest son, Chandler, doesn’t care much for sports. His brothers play just about every sport available to them, but Chandler has only tried a few. A few years ago, he decided to play a sport that neither one of …

Teaching Students the Value of the Gospel

A few months ago, I was watching an interview with the cast of the very controversial television show, Preachers of LA, who appeared on a late night talk show. I’d been told each speaker competed in what the host called a “Preach-Off,” in which each of them had 30 seconds to give a sermon or …

A Generous Heart

The generosity of God astounds me! Because of His love, and not by any works I have done, He extended His salvation to me and accepted me into His household. I’m no longer the person I was. Old things have passed away, all things have become new, and I’m now a beloved child of Father …

We have seen more shootings, bombings, and killings by our children in schools and on suburban streets than ever. Recently, in Cape Town, South Africa, a small boy of …

Not Just an Ordinary Beard: Unity in the Church

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the …

Rediscovering a Dangerous God

The newly-released book Yawning at Tigers by Drew Dyck (Thomas Nelson Publishers) reaffirms a reverence for God and explores the topic of holiness in particular. Dyck, managing editor of Christianity Today’s Leadership Journal, recently explained some of the inspiration for the new release to White Wing Messenger Managing Editor DeWayne Hamby.

Sharing Faith in Your Relationships with Students

Relationships are the key to life for any young person in today’s society. Relationships play such a major role in today’s youth culture that businesses and media have found a way to market to the need through social media and the web. This is why it is all the more important for us, as youth …

The Uncommon Call

On numerous occasions, we see on our university campuses very brilliant young men and women who decide to quit their studies and drop out of school because they feel the call to ministry. There is no doubt among believers today that apostles, pastors, evangelists, youth directors, children’s workers, women’s ministry leaders, etc., are called of …
