Folks, I live in the west of the Glasgow area. As I walk or drive down the high streets of Dumbarton, my heart is deeply burdened by what I see. Many folks look so worn down, very thin, malnourished, with sunken cheeks and missing teeth. Their faces appear hollow and...
You know, as I look at the Scriptures, I see that following Jesus has always come with a cost. The Lord never promised us an easy road; He promised us Himself. And in Iran today, there’s a dear sister named Aida Najaflou, a 44-year-old mother of two, who has tasted...
