David C. Biggers was my father-in-law. Take a moment and let me introduce you. David was quite the character, and, I believe, everything anyone would want in a father and grandfather; loyal, playful; joyful; generous; fun and, at times, downright hysterical. One of our “regular” activities with David was eating out when we would make…
We have just been through the HALLOWEEN season and are coming to THANKSGIVING. Halloween, without question, has its origins in pagan worship and rituals. Today it has no more significance in the minds of most people than to be an excuse to “party” … or an opportunity to put on a mask and fantasize becoming…
Recently, I heard a simple, yet profound, sermon from my Interim Pastor, Dr. Jerry Appleby. I asked his permission to share it with you; The Country Gazette in Franklin, Massachusetts had this listing in its classified section: “Unknown item for sale. We know it’s valuable; we don’t know what it is. If you can identify…
For the Rocky Mountain District, Church of the Nazarene, Fall 2016 initiative, they wished to reach local schools— and partner with local churches for community impact. So, they reached out to New Dimensions Evangelism. The vision was to create a positive impact on schools–and bring in the lost to local churches. And to inspire local…

This includes the famous story referring to one vote and Oliver Cromwell, Charles I of England, and America almost…
In 1942, a young black Cassius Clay was born into a neighborhood close to a Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky. The Christians of that church evidently were so prejudiced that they would never take the time to reach for Christ, this young man whose skin was a different color and was perhaps a little on…
Wow! Or maybe, Whew! This summer has flown by. I’ve just returned home after spending almost the entire month of July on the road. June, too, was a busy and productive month for our ministry. This summer we had fantastic programs in Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Illinois. Lots of miles…lots of smiles…and lots of…
“By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”(John 13:35) Did you ever wonder to yourself why the peoples of the world cannot get along with each other? Why can’t the Arabs and the Jews settle their conflicts and live in harmony? Why can’t they settle the conflicts in Africa?…
