Perfect – Are You a Perfect Person?
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly -
Are you a perfect person? What about your life, is that perfect, too? Do you live in a perfect house with a perfect family that you are supporting with your perfect job? I hope the answers to these questions are obvious: NO. Nothing is totally perfect.
“Imperfection” really bothers me. In fact, I had a clever blog post all written out for you before this one, but the topic was sticky, the post was long, and my sentences didn’t make sense, so I scrapped it and wrote about something else. The post didn’t seem “perf...
Five Things Teaching Has Taught Me About the Teacher
CBM National intern, Paul Daly -
These past few weeks, I have been under the tutelage of Mrs. Judy Virgili, of CBM’s Cornerstone Ministry Center in southwest PA. Judy is a pioneer in Released Time and a fantastic teacher to children. She has taught me many things concerning how to communicate the gospel clearly to children, how to prepare a lesson, how to ask them questions, and how to catch and keep their attention.
Now that I have had the opportunity to have students of my own, I can reflect back on what I was like as a student of their age. It was ...

Solomon was born to be the King who built the Lord’s temple. He was given incredible riches, imperial status, and supernatural wisdom to accomplish this task from God.

Probably the greatest story I’ve read featuring Solomon, however, isn’t about something he said or did, but something his father, David said to him.
Then David said to his son Solomon, ...
Four Labels You Need to Let Go Of
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly-
I’m at that point in life where it’s time to discover who I am. What do I believe? How do I think? Who should I be? Recently, I’ve become a label collector. Labels are good, if used correctly. Through them, I’ve learned a lot about who God has made me to be. But sometimes, we need to lose those labels because they hold us back. We say things such as, “Well, I can’t do that because I’m this.” Or, “Well I’m this and you’re that, so we can’t be friends.” So often we use the labels as limitations rather than a ...
7.4 Billion Reasons Why You Should Do Missions and the One Reason Why You Aren’t
By CBM National intern, Paul Daly
Since the beginning of the New Year, I have been working in Raleigh, NC helping out in New Life Camp’s outreach ministry to Cedar Point, an apartment complex that houses refugees. They have a program there called Homework Help. Most of my work here in January and February will be with that program, helping refugee children with their homework, which is a real need in that community since many of the kids there are thrust into school based on their age and not their education.
I remember noticing, the first time I walked through ...
