The PCA can rejoice with us as we see how the Lord has worked powerfully in and among the people serving as staff, volunteers, and partners in the ministries of MNA.   I used to be a RADAR technician for F-4 fighter aircraft. Doing that job, I learned that there are times when ground clutter... Continue Reading

The way forward after sin, even habitual sin…is to cry out for mercy. It is to beg God for the Spirit to give you strength to wage war against your remaining sinful flesh.   You did it again.
