Elena
By Mark Roth on June 16, 2008 at 11:33 am
Growing up in a Christian home in communist Romania brought its own kind of suffering for Elena. Losing both her grandfather and beloved father also took an emotional toll on the young girl. Then, at eleven years old, she was sent to a distant state boarding school where she endured loneliness, ridicule, and abuse
As she grew older, Elena found her niche in running. The Christian teaching she had received at home faded to the background as she trained with a vengeance to become the fastest runner in Romania. Her goal seemed very close, when God’s loving call changed her life’s course!

A Time of Departing
By Mark Roth on June 12, 2008 at 11:15 am
A Time of Departing is a revealing account of a universal spirituality that has infiltrated much of the church today. This book exposes subtle strategies to compromise the Gospel message with Eastern mystical concepts cloaked under the wrappings of contemplative prayer and the silence.
A Time of Departing is about spiritual pilots whose desired destination may be noble and good, but their actual destination is a departure from the saving faith of Christ’s work on the Cross and a departure from Biblical truth.
These religious navigators offer both a practical and mystical spirituality that leads to euphoric experiences. The resulting popular spirituality claims to possess an enlightenment that all religions need. Its roots are found in Eastern mystical religions and in New Age Western thought. By using mystical techniques such as the repetition of words (mantras) and the emptying of the mind, professing Christians are testifying to powerful experiences in the spiritual realms. In Christian circles, these techniques are being called: the silence, breath prayer, centering prayer, or contemplative prayer.

Allegheny Gospel Trails
By Mark Roth on June 9, 2008 at 12:31 pm
“You know,” Rhine said thoughtfully, “I don’t believe we knew what we were getting into when we accepted this assignment.”
He was right. Rhine and Anna were used to the creature comforts of Scottdale, Pennsylvania. Were they ready for the rigors and challenges of ministering to scattered churches in mountainous West Virginia?
When the Benner family stepped off the ancient train that June afternoon in 1915 and looked uncertainly about, the mission board members watching from their surrey also wondered. “I doubt they’ll last through the first winter,” one of them said in a low voice, noting the new arrivals’ fair skin and slender builds.
There certainly were challenges. A weekend circuit of preaching assignments could easily be twenty-five miles on foot, in all kinds of weather. Most of the roads were impassable by car, and at first the mission board couldn’t afford a horse.
