Children In The Son

Dear Family and Friends, It has taken me several hours to figure out how to use this new email service and keep it simple.  Unfortunately, because the business world seems to demand everything in a template, it makes it difficult for those of us who just want to write a quick email. Our ministry was forced to start using an email service because many of our emails have been “lost” in cyberspace because we were labeled as “spammers” last year.  [...]

Truth does not change. One can disbelieve and argue against the truth and end up still disbelieving, but it does not change the reality of the truth. In this passage unbelief is present and the truth is being declared. Jesus has been in a verbal battle about His identity with the Pharisees and scribes. It begins in chapter 8:1 and continues through chapter 10:19. The debate starts with Jesus being compared to Moses in authority, then Jesus declares to be [...]

This passage is loaded with wonderful truths about our Lord Jesus. In verses 1-4 Paul shares how Believers should be living amongst one another. They should be interested in helping others in need not just themselves. In verse 5, he focuses the attention to the issue of the attitude of the heart, humility. The Believer should have the same attitude as Christ Jesus. He describes what this attitude looks like for the reader by taking them through Jesus=92 example of [...]

Dear Family and Friends, I know y’all are probably thinking that I am over zealous in my updates these days since you didn’t hear from me for quite a while and now three times in one week but today’s events were just too important not to share.

Psalms 10:14 “But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.” Dear Family and Friends, We are excited to tell you that one of our Agape Home women, Mona, has finished her time at our program and now needs to “fly the nest” and begin to make her way with her baby, Maria.  This a photo that we took [...]

Today we will be focusing on verse 4. In these verses we are able to see the heart of God. We will see His character and how that plays in the decisions that He makes. However, we not only see His heart in action but how we are the beneficiaries of this aspect of His character. The context of the passage is that Paul is writing to believers in Christ Jesus. In verses 1-3 it is explained to the reader [...]

Dear Family and Friends, The story that I am about to share with you is true.  I have not embellished it for effect.  I am telling it because I think we all need to have a good dose of reality today and appreciate every tiny little blessing in our lives. Ileana is our newest resident at Agape Home.  She came to live in Agape Home just a few days before Daniel and I arrived so she has been with us [...]
