She knocks on the door to my office and waits until I motion her in. Politely she asks with expectant eyes if I'd like to visit her "gum store." For once making the right choice (trying to remember if I've put her off earlier for the same request) I rise from my work and…

My good friends at Shepherds Theological Seminary in Cary, North Carolina have committed to providing an intense Israel study trip for their students. Here is a quick highlight video of the 2012 trip (which I was privileged to attend). If you know of young people going into the ministry or mission field, have them check…

A book I read a few years back on the subject of developing one's creative thinking explained the technique of combining categories that don't usually mix.
