Let me ask you a question—one that I wish I could actually have time to hear each of you answer. Here it is: “What began your journey to Christ?  What led you to Jesus?” I really would love to hear your replies because those kinds of testimonies are always inspiring to me. I am always […]

A few hours before a church’s annual Children’s Christmas Pageant was to begin, a worried mother called the church office. She reported that her little son, who was to play the part of JOSEPH that night, was sick with the flu, and could not be there for the performance. Well, something had to be done. […]

There was a time when it took a long time get news from the other side of the globe.

We’ve been using a […]

Alexander M. Sanders, Jr., was the Chief Judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals for a number of years and is currently the president of the Charleston School of Law. Back in 1992 he was asked to deliver the commencement address for the graduating Class of the University of South Carolina. His daughter, Zoe […]
