Prayer holds for us an adventure of communion with the eternal God and completion of His unfolding purpose.

Stephen Estock, provisional coordinator, hopes to take his love for the ministry of the local church and use it to shape CEP.

In 1976 Charles Dunahoo agreed to serve as CEP’s (Christian Education and Publications) coordinator for three years. At the end of 2012 — some 36 years later — he’ll finally begin his life’s next chapter.

Last year, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Cher, and Susan Sarandon turned 65, along with 7,000 people a day—the first members of the Baby Boom generation to hit the traditional “retirement age.” Will Boomers celebrate this milestone with the customary gold watch and office party, then move to Florida and play golf? Perhaps not.

Christians, when rightly informed and motivated, change the character of political debate. They bring the moral standards of God’s kingdom into the civic realm and thereby become agents of His common grace — of His provision for those who believe as well as those who don’t.
