The Cry for Submission: Letter from the Editor by Emily Fales
march 2012
“I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed myself and quieted my ambitions. I am like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child I am content” (Psalm 131:1-2, TNIV). Dear Friends and Family, Rachel and I are finding ourselves slowly settling into…

February 2012
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about the troubles we experienced.. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead. He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us again. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. 2 Cor. 1:8-11
