Like the song says, ‘We have the power …’

Read Hebrews 2:5-9

“Now in subjecting all things to them, God left nothing outside their control” (Hebrews 2:8).

What Does This Scripture Mean for Us?

When you look at the world, perhaps even when you look at how life’s going for you specifically, do you ever wonder why things aren’t quite “right” or what you might be able to do to make things “better” than you find them?

Campus Crusade for Christ very special to me

Since my days as a teenager (approximately back in the Dark Ages; okay, in the 1960s), Campus Crusade for Christ has been very special to me and holds a special place in my heart. I recommitted my heart to Christ in the early 1960s as a result of Bible studies and fellowship with Campus Crusade groups.

I have been away too long, I know, but now I’m back

Thank you, so much, for those of you who’ve been checking back here regularly. I’ve been away too long, I know.
