I prepared these Advent devotionals for the families of a local church to use for four weeks during this Advent season. I challenge you to use these at any time of the year as a tool for learning how to dig deeper into the Holy Scriptures.
Read MoreThe title of this edition of our insider newsletter appears in the devanagari script and is Nepali for Himalayan Labors of Love, not so much our love for the mountainous peoples and places of South Asia which is strong, but the love and hospitality manifested to us along our recent stint in Nepal and Ladakh by faithful Gentile brethren who know trial, tribulation, and persecution . . . and yet, like us, these possess a love for the Jewish people and have labored to help enable us to reach the lost sheep of the House of Israel who wander through their Himalayan backyards.
Read MoreThe printed Word of God, it's whole counsel, preached and distributed (not some little Bible app tucked away on your iPhone) is the only cure for the unrest in our nation today. And, THE WHOLE BIBLE TO THE WHOLE WORLD ought to be OUR WHOLE DUTY.

Read MoreThey really appreciated the teaching and implored us to continue coming to teach them sound doctrine. These pastors and leaders don't have much training, and it's very difficult for them to leave their families and flocks for long trainings in Kathmandu. That's why we are going to them . . .
