SON OF SHEIK VISITED BY MAN IN WHITE

(February 25, 2025) Daniel Corado shares…

Nadalla Alrajo grew up in a strict Muslim family; his father is a sheik. As a three-year-old, he went to the mosque to learn about his religion. At age six, he asked if Jesus was God because he heard about his resurrection and ascension to heaven. (The Koran affirms Jesus’s resurrection but holds Him to be only a prophet, not the Son of God).

GOD HAD HIS BACK EVERY TIME

(July 21, 2024) Michael Ashcraft shares a great testimony…

The year was 1979, and Eric Strutz was earning U.S. $400 an hour. But he left lucre to serve Jesus full-time in visitation ministry.

‘I survived,’ he quipped on a Door Church Tucson conference video on YouTube. ‘Actually I thrived. I went from making $400 an hour to 250 bucks a week!’

Pursuing Ministry, not Money
Now in the sunset of his pastoring career, Eric exemplifies counting the cost for ministry. Time after time, he pursued ministry, not money. And time after time, God came through for him.

TRUE LOVE: JESUS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

(April 29, 2024) Mama Lava tells a delightful story… with a heart-touching challenge.

The Story…
A young couple met young and fell madly in love.

Wife was beautiful and sweet, and Husband was charming and ready to take on the world.

They didn’t have much, but they had each other and their wild dreams for the future.

Disappointments
As the years went by, they experienced one disappointment after another. Business ideas blossomed and withered, and any meagre savings they managed to accumulate quickly dissipated. There were a couple of pregnancies, but none that went full-term. An injury incurred at a thankless job, leaving  Husband dejected and in constant pain.

They each felt empty and in need of something more, so Wife began to go to church. Husband preferred the bar. They lived together but grew far apart.

GET CLOSE TO GOD — NOW!

(May 31, 2023) The late Dr Andrew Evans’ 1997 Heart to Heart challenge is still very relevant today! [See footnote]

Where are you in relation to God? James 4:8NKJV is a powerful scripture: ‘Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.’

Not even close? If you’re not a Christian, Ephesians 2:1-3 describes you well –

  • Doomed forever for your sins,
  • Going along with the crowd,
  • Obeying Satan,
  • A heart against God, and
  • Doing wicked things stemming from evil thoughts.

Strong words from the apostle Paul, yet that’s how you stand in your relation to God! The good news is in verses 4-6. In His mercy God loves you and wants to bring you into His family so that you can be close to Him.
