Books are sources of wisdom, and that’s reason enough to read them. The Scriptures gush about the superior value of wisdom as Proverbs 3:13-14 claims, “Blessed is the one who finds wisdom…

10 Differences Between Greeks and Non Greeks

Over the years I have heard many campus ministries try to gain momentum doing ministry in the Greek community. Too often, many fail to gain traction because they miss a few basic differences between Greek students and non-Greek students. What works to reach other parts…
