"If it had not been the Lord who was on our side.." is how Psalm 124 begins and it ends with, "Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth." How many times in life have we been reminded of this truth that King David knew so well.  David reminds us of God's Sovereignty and ultimate power as the Creator of the world in which we live.  That means God made everything and knows it intimately well.. including Rachel's body and every detail of her heart that is broken and needs to be repaired.  God...

   In 2007, I met a Bhutanese refugee named John Monger.  Many of you have heard me share about John before.  John served as my translator for a series of evangelistic meetings we conducted in Nepal.  John shared with me about how he had been exiled from two countries and had spent over 16 months in prison for refusing to stop sharing the Gospel and discipling others.  John's devotion to the Lord and commitment to discipling others has already left a huge impact on his family and everyone he meets. John was led to Christ on the streets of Bhutan as...
