THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER I would like to thank many of you who came to our combined Good Friday’s service at the First Baptist Church of Monrovia. I especially wish to thank you who worked so hard in preparing the musical skit and the food. We were all so blessed by the skit and by the […]...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER We all want to see miracles—big miracles—so much so that we often miss small miracles. There is of course nothing wrong about expecting big miracles because big miracles mean big helps for big problems. However, God does not want us to miss small miracles because small mi...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER God always speaks to us in a language we can understand. Years back Santy and I knew an older lady in Malang who remained active even in her nineties. I remember, when she was well into her eighties, she still travelled by means of public transportation. In the end her eye-si...

THE SHEPHERD’S CORNER Live differently These weeks I thought we could look at one of my favorite Old Testament prophets – Daniel. Daniel was a part of Israel when Babylon came, took most of the people captive, took them away from Jerusalem. Even though there had been warnings & prophecy abou...

  The other day I saw an interview with Tim Tebow. You who follow football should know who Tim Tebow is. He’s a former professional football player and who has now become a professional baseball player. But, he’s more than that. Besides writing books and playing baseball, what he is doing n...
