Also, I am a slow reader and often end up not finishing a book that I've started. However, I was very glad when our Wednesday mor...

The Beauty of the Gospel

by Mischa McCray When I moved to Mississippi in 2009, I didn't have really any expectations for what I was getting myself into. I was young (22) and had never lived outside of Michigan. I had traveled minimally and most of what I "knew" of the South was a combination of what I had learned from reading books (To Kill A Mockingbird and Cold Sassy Tree were my favorites) or ...

May Mission of the Month - Missionaries to South Asia

Our "Mission of the Month" for this month is a missionary family in South Asia. Because they are in a closed country and any information about them must remain confidential, we'll just call them "B M." Unfortunately, "B M" were supposed to be making a visit to Westminster on May 17th. They were planning to update us in person on their ministry and life in Asia. But, due ...

The Violence of Grace

We often respond, "God, you are so good; I do not deserve such grace, but out of your abundant love, you sent it." We often think that grace is like a fluffy bunny that we can cuddle up to and thereby enjoy the fruits of being loved by...
