In any sport, it’s vital to learn the basics and practice them until they are mastered. When I played football in high school, my coach would lecture us players to get back to the basics in playing the game. He reminded us that we had to run our routes, play only our zone, focus on…
I have been to the Ukraine twice, teaching students and preaching in churches. I have walked the streets of Kyiv, broken bread with believers there and elsewhere in the Ukraine, witnessed the work of God in the country and seen its beauty. I stood on the banks of the Dnieper River where Vladimir the Great…
