A Short Report

God has graciously given our entire family the opportunity to be together for the first time in over six and a half years.  In light of this special occasion I will be taking a short break until April 1 from the weekly blog postings to focus on our family.  Thank you for your continued faithfulness in reading my postings and encouraging me with your feedback when God has used one to help you.  Blessings in Him to you and yours.  -- Hu 

Plans, Priorities and Poverty

When Jesus said, “the poor you always have with you,” was He diminishing the importance of His followers' doing good in reaching out to those in need?  Was He implying that it should not be a priority in our lives since poverty will never go away?

How Are You Treating God?

If you call yourself a Christian you might answer that question by saying, “Well, I try to live right and honor Him in the things I do,” or, “I spend time in prayer and Bible reading every day,” or simply, “with obedience in serving others and telling others the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”   These are all worthy answers, but they are answers to the question of what are you doing in response to Him, rather than how you are treating Him.
