Ministry Perspectives, The Psalmist David asks the question in Psalm 11:3, "if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Good question in a period of history when it seems that the very foundations of our faith and future are being undermined daily by a general desire to cast off restraint and do one's own thing. I'm thankful that David knew the answer to the question. I'm grateful God directed him to write it down for the benefit of those who would come late

Ministry Perspectives, It is widely known and often discussed that our nation and world needs healing on a myriad of levels. While most focus on a vaccine to save the day so that some sense of normalcy can return, the healing that is needed most cannot be provided with a man-made vaccine. The healing we need in our nation requires the proven treatment of hearing and obeying the Word of God. As of late summer, (after the panic has passed) it appears that many Americans are sti
