Living Water International exists to demonstrate the love of God by helping communities acquire desperately needed clean water, and to experience “living water”—the gospel of Jesus Christ—which alone satisfies the deepest thirst. Nearly 20 years ago, we set out to help the church in North America be the hands and feet of Jesus by serving the poorest of the poor. 600 million people in the world...

an indictment.

Yesterday, I learned that there are 3100 kids available for adoption in the state of Florida. 3100. Do you know how many expressions of the church there are? Over 13,000. Let that sink in… It is an indictment. On our church family and all others in the state. 27 Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to...

That’s the question the people of Rolling Hills Baptist Church in Fayetteville, GA asked. Their...

walk to water →

Got the word on this couple that leads “Walk to Water” from my friend, Kevin. He wrote me in an email: Thought you might enjoy this. Might not be the right phrase ‘cause it’s kinda challenging. I went to school with this couple who’ve decided to raise money for folks to have clean water in other countries. They sold their home and are in the process of hiking the entire Appalachian...

Certainly we are broken for the severe loss and chaos in Haiti. My wife and I have friends there, as I am sure many of you do. Let’s be praying not only for them, but for wisdom as to how we can help best. The report out this morning is that actual stuff is not helpful right now. Rather, funds to buy and ship large shipments of easy nourishment and medical supplies is a must. Please donate...

healthy marriage crucial for humanity beautiful

This is not a diatribe about having a certain kind of marriage or abhorring certain civil unions or even an invitation to a “weekend to remember” marriage seminar. No, this is simply a common sense statement derived from years of listening to friends as well as walking through my own marriage struggles. The statement: A healthy marriage is crucial for humanity to be beautiful. If you...

WARNING – you may not want to watch this. It might force you to think twice about how much money you spend on luxuries that we pretend are necessity. That’s what it did to me when my friend Josh shared it...

A friend of mine challenged me a few weeks ago in a BIG way. His name is Josh. I’m not sure he set out to challenge me. It wasn’t one of those annoying “I know better” kind of things. It was a humble admission, an indirect challenge that rocked me. You see, he runs a community cafe in Ocoee, FL called HOUSE BLEND CAFE. They serve great coffee and great food there. They...
