want to go camping with God?
As I prepare physically to go camping with the guys tonight, I stop to ask the question: Do you think God ever goes camping?
Maybe you think this is an odd question. Since God owns everything on earth, and is everywhere all the time, then “camping” may not be an appropriate word to describe what God may or may not do….

rescued?
Everybody seems to undergo stress in their life. For some, it’s a daily event. For others, it seems to come and go. The same seems true for “persecution.” For some, it’s constant; for others, it comes and goes. Why?

How to Pray
The Lord’s Prayer: ‘This, then, is how you should pray:

Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.”
