#LETMEINTRODUCEYOU

Below is a brief excerpt from a 92 page pamphlet from 1970. I have been reading this small booklet slowly. I would count it as a brief yet healthy read. There are times when you might find the writer placing his thoughts alongside Scripture, in a manner you disagree. I disagree with portions of most … Continue reading Repentance Forgotten

Many of you are aware that good friends helped us on the first leg of our journey from Salisbury, NC, all the way up to where my family lives in New Jersey on Friday! Our brother and sister in Christ brought us right to the doorstep where we needed to be–a major blessing. This post … Continue reading In transit.

Read? Perhaps the question of first priority here at the brink of 2020 AD is more basic: do we read at all?

I can remember the combined joy-stress that would normally accompany the final day of regular class. There is excitement for summer plans, both … Continue reading UNCC Shooting

This is a long story, much abridged: I’m engaged. A few summers back I was working at a Gospel-driven summer camp up in the North Carolina mountains. At that camp I was up in a tree most afternoons working a pendulum swing, where people climb up high to get hooked into a couple cables, which … Continue reading I’m engaged.

I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to stir you up by way of reminder, since I know that the putting off of my body will be … Continue reading Pete’s Final Reminder

As I sit and reflect… Some of my great joys during the time here in Brussels have been seeing the men of the church gather to pray early on Wednesday mornings—before work; seeing believers gather to sing praise, and read, and pray, on Tuesday mornings—spilling over into the afternoon; and seeing the church come together … Continue reading Pray for Life
