A little Piper for Christmas

Forty-eight for sixty-eight. Give some Christmas cheer to your friends and co-workers. Every few Christmases I wrap up about 20 Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ books and leave them in the break room at work with a sign or card that says, "Merry Christmas - Help Yourself"

It's also an adventure to put together a small gift bag for the neighbors, slipping a little Seeing and Savoring in just in case.


Cases of 48 books are delivered to your door for $68.

200,000 Baby Chicks Ground Alive... 1.37 Million Baby Humans Mutilated Alive

How do you feel about the egg-producing industry throwing 200,000 baby chicks alive into meat grinders? Is that wrong?
How do you feel about the abortion industry sucking the limbs off of, sticking scissors into the skulls of, dissolving the bodies of ALIVE baby humans? Is that wrong?

Well, if you are a typical American, the baby chicks' cheeping death chorus disgusts you. But, the silent agony of human nerves being ripped and broken as abortionists chop and destroy baby bodies does little to you emotionally.
What's wrong with us? Read Romans 1. We've chosen to serve a created god rather than serve God. God's children feel the pain of abortion because all babies are created in the image of God. If we don't feel that pain, we need to trade in our god and get to know the real God. He is the God of justice and love. He openly opposes the destruction of human babies on the golden altar of choice.

Cessna is out - Kodiak is IN!


Most of us have been aware that the Cessna fuel (Avgas) is phazing out, thus limiting the usefulness of mission planes of the Cessna variety. So, mission agencies like New Tribes Mission and Wycliffe Associates are pinching pennies to purchase jet fuel KODIAK planes. Jet fuel is readily available and cheap, and Kodiaks are readily available but not so cheap.


New Tribes Mission is planning on purchasing 14 Kodiaks over the next few years. Wycliffe Associates, who provide support for Bible translators, is also planning to purchase Kodiaks. The catch is that Kodiaks cost $1.3 million and with the missionary discount roll out of the hanger at just over $900K. This may sound outrageous, but a small cost when all of us pool our money together. Do a little research as to what missionary planes are utilized for and then click through to donate to Wycliffe Associates.

Cross-wearing Christian Stabbed and Bludgeoned to Death by Muslims

"The owner and 14 of his employees beat Ishtiaq with stones, iron rods and clubs, and stabbed him multiple times with kitchen knives as Ishtiaq pleaded for mercy." Read more about this late-breaking story out of Pakistan

If Ishtiaq had survived, the power of Jesus' forgiveness is that Ishtiaq would have forgiven the enraged Muslims. No other religion in the world can give the power of forgiveness like the God of Christianity can. Pray for the 15 Muslims who brutally murdered Ishtiaq Masih. Good works permeated with selfishness merit nothing in the sight of God. Only the wrath-absorbing death of Jesus can satisfy God's wrath against your sin.

Tell Your Story

One ministry idea is to publish your testimony and give it out. A handy way to do that is online. Here's a friend of mine's story on YouTube:

YouTube Gospel

My friend Sam Pitrone just uploaded this tasty treat - a short video presenting the gospel message of Jesus Christ. Sam uses handy pictures to explain the gospel, which I've been able to use myself. Take a look:
