Reviving the Heart

Daily life with its seemingly constant upsets, adversities and frustrations leave many people feeling anxious, distraught and discouraged. Is there a permanent and fulfilling remedy for their troubled hearts and minds? The answer is absolutely yes. Through His prophet Isaiah, God made a promise to those who were lowly, repentant and obedient. He says that it is His great pleasure “To revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones” (Isaiah 57:15).

John has served as an employee of the United Church of God in a variety of media-related responsibilities and as a senior writer for Beyond Today magazine.

He also received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology at Ambassador College, Pasadena, California in 1978. John was ordained an elder in 1994 and serves in the Cincinnati, Ohio congregations.
