Every week, I ask and seek the Lord on what to write in this blog. This week was tough. After my prayer time at my office yesterday, I stepped out to retrieve something from my car and didn’t take my coat (I wonder if this winter is ever going to end). I got chilled, and …
“William Booth once had an audience with King Edward VII of England. His Majesty highly commended the salvationist for his unflagging zeal and wonderful work among the poor.

“Man is not what he thinks he is; he is what he hides.” Christian camouflage? What is that? What do you mean? What does it do for us? What is camouflage? The definition that I found was, “Concealment by some means that alters or obscures the appearance.” I have hunted for many years and have …
