By Dr. David K. Ewen The Picture We Carry Seeing Jesus beyond our assumptions is not the picture we carry. Most of us carry a private picture of how He should act. Nathanael questioned Jesus because Nazareth seemed unimpressive in John 1:46. We might overlook a quiet church member while waiting for advice from someone confident. Jesus may meet us through the person we nearly ignored. Along Familiar Roads That blindness can follow us into ordinary routines. Two... Read more

By Dr. David K. Ewen Freedom Begins With Thankful Hearts Freedom begins with thankful hearts reminds us that the fourth of July means more than fireworks and cookouts. Families gather, children laugh, and neighbors greet each other with smiles. Those simple moments become richer when we remember God together.
