Chosen Few
“For many are called, but few are chosen.” – Matthew 22:14 These are Jesus’ own words! They came from his own mouth, heart, and mind. What did the Lord mean by them? What truly constitutes many? What really constitutes few? The Bible declares “Whosoever will, may come.” “Whosoever” is truly »

My Name is on the Sign
My grandfather was the only father figure I had when I was a kid, and after he passed away, I had no one to look up to. When I came to the youth home in 1963 at the age of 13, Paul Anderson stepped in to fill the gap. From »
