  • What Ezekyal Taught Me About Prayer

    by Matt Bush
    What a profound thought, right? If you say you are going to pray for someone that you actually do it

  • Fighting The Wrong Battle

    by Matt Bush
    Let's stop pouring our lives into the battles that mean absolutely nothing and turn to the GOD who saved us. Let's please stop teaching our children that the school, the baseball field, the office, or the football stadium is more important than the ground at the foot of the cross. Let's figure out how to spend more time there and less time on things that don't matter.

  • Oasis of Hope

    by Matt Bush
    Very, very few of us have ever had to truly live in "survival mode" for any extended period of time. The type of "survival mode" where you have no idea how you are going to eat, where you are going to live, and how you are going to change your situation. Every single one of the 22 children at All Things New along with the other 10 that we take care of have been there and lived that. They have known what it means to struggle to survive.

  • Convincing Ourselves That Prayer Is Powerful

    by Matt Bush

    1. You cannot have a strong and spiritually growing church without focused and consistent corporate prayer.

    2. You cannot be growing in your relationship with Jesus without prayer being a big part of your life.

    3. There are a lot of Christians who attend churches with an almost nonexistent emphasis on prayer and who live their lives spending shockingly little time in prayer.

  • Theology Thursday: Creation

    by Matt Bush
    My challenge for myself and anyone else reading this is simple...Take the time to feel small. Take the time to purposefully take in GOD's creation even if it is as simple as standing on your front porch and looking to the sky. It is so easy for us to be the center of our own universe, but that quickly goes away when you realize just how small we are and just how great GOD is. This realization should drive us to our knees in worship to our Great GOD.

  • Theology Thursday: Unity in Christ

    by Matt Bush
    GOD needs unity that comes from fellowship...See the Trinity. For us to think that we do not need that same type of unity with Christ and other believers is not only ignorant but it is also arrogant and unBiblical, and those are 3 traits that I do not want to have.

  • A New Travel Advisory for Haiti

    by Matt Bush
    I am really glad that we can show you guys this documentary so that you can see the kids and get a glimpse of life in Haiti. At the same time, how sad is it that it has come to that? That the only way to be a part of their lives right now is to watch them on a screen. Let's pray that this time next year we are bringing down our 3rd team of the year to spend some time with our kids at All Things New!

  • The Prosperity (not) Gospel

    by Matt Bush
    There is a big problem with the prosperity gospel (there are many but I digress) that makes it untenable for followers of Christ. The problem...It is not true.

  • What Does Maundy Mean?

    by Matt Bush

    When Jesus told His Disciples to love other people, do you know what He immediately did to show them how to love each other? 2 very specific things:

     - He washed their feet.

     - He gave up His life on the Cross for theirs.

  • Normalcy in Haiti

    by Matt Bush
    Thank you to everyone reading this that allows our kids some "normalcy." We definitely could not do it without you. At the same time, let's continue to do everything that we can so that every kid, in every country, including our own, can complain about how their food tastes and ask someone that they love for a new toy or a new pair of shoes.

  • What's Going On in Haiti

    by Matt Bush
    Please continue to pray for Haiti and do not give up on her or her people. I have heard the term "Haiti fatigue" in the past because it seems like things just always happen there. It seems like any time the country takes 2 steps forward, it then takes 10 steps back. Do not lose hope. I am not talking about hope in the government, the people, All Things New, or anything like that...Do not lose hope in the Gospel. The Gospel of Jesus Christ, when it takes root, can change an entire nation, really the entire world, and let's pray towards that end.
