Are you going to survive your day?
Snowflakes in the air reminded me I needed winter tires for our car. After checking prices and availability I settled on a local vendor and arranged a time to have the new tires installed. Arriving at the tire shop on the day of my appointment, I handed the keys to a service representative and then […]
How do I teach about the importance of understanding Scripture using puzzles?
I had been looking forward to having a Bible study with this couple, yet was a bit apprehensive. Would they understand the importance of taking twelve hours to go through the 1,100 verses found in The Stranger? I knew the husband had a staunch religious background. Would we get off track on controversial issues? Then, […]
Content or delivery?
Western Society demands that communication be entertaining. Style and delivery has eclipsed the importance of message content. Even in the Christian community, it has become expected that if one is to communicate a message from the Word of God, the way in which that message be delivered must be polished, entertaining, and professional. One must […]
How do I teach about atonement using colored cards?
Probably the most common visual aid we see in the Bible has to do with the atonement. Although this word is connected with one of the most profound doctrines the Bible teaches, many biblically knowledgable folk have a hard time explaining it. The word atonement actually embraces a fairly wide spectrum of truth, but when […]
How do I teach about death using a branch?
Like every other country in the world, Togo, West Africa, desperately needs to hear a clear Gospel. 70% are animist, 10% Muslim, and 20% “Christian”.

In-ká-hai captured the minds of my children
We recently received a very encouraging note from a gentleman who read In-ká-hai: How Sweet It Is! to his children as part of their family devotions. He wrote: Our family has really enjoyed reading In-ká-hai! I have read it to the family, one chapter at each sitting. We finished the epilogue tonight and we will […]
Mommy, I understand!
(Editor’s note: An understood gospel is a powerful gospel. It saves lives! We have heard many stories of children coming to put their trust in Jesus for salvation, but this was a special one.) Jill* told us of her friend, Suzanne*, who had an autistic son. Suzanne despaired over how she could share the gospel […]
Before we slip into eternity
At a Christian school conference, Jim* excitedly approached our GoodSeed booth where our staff were introducing Worldview Rethink curriculum to schools. He had a story to share. Some years ago, he had seen a copy of The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus on a co-worker’s desk and had borrowed it to read. A short […]
