Jim Shields | Sep 07, 2023

All nations. Not some, not several, not many; all. The word ‘all’ is, well, an all-encompassing word. It does not leave a whole lot of wiggle room. When you are instructed to do a task, most often you are expected to do the complete task or all of it. Webster’s defines the word this way: […]

But God…

Jim Shields | Jul 06, 2023

For three days, your […]

This guy. I have had the pleasure of being in ministry at Highland Lakes with him now for almost 10 years. 10 years! (This is our 10th summer).
