Completing the Challenge!
Praise the Lord for all that he has been revealing to us from this wonderful, rich chapter of Scripture! As we have meditated on the truths contained in this chapter we have begun to see that God has done so much for us as believers! He has spoken well of us in the...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! The chilly November afternoon was about a week before Thanksgiving. I had just arrived at the Chicago O’Hare Airport. While awaiting my ride to pick me up, I pulled a small New Testament from my pocket and began to read in II Timothy, chapter 3:...
Hear It From the Guys
So, we asked some guys to tell their story and how Journey fit into that. Do they think it is worth it – practical and beneficial – for guys to go? They already have so much going on trying to figure out life: work, school, girl to marry, family to start,...
