Life Changing. We spend too much of our lives on things that will soon flee like snow in the spring. The words “life changing” are tossed around a lot. I’ve heard those words used with a new diet, a car, and even a new brand of jeans. I’m reminding myself of this truth…true life changing …
God’s Faithfulness. It is His faithfulness to us, and not merely our faithfulness to Him, that will ultimately keep us. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”(John 15:13) “The glory of God’s faithfulness is that no sin of ours has ever made Him unfaithful.”(Charles Spurgeon) Keith MadisonSCORE …
Encouragement. Encouragement is one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone. By encouraging someone, you are saying: The Apostle Paul says: “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for BUILDING OTHERS UP according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” (Emphasis …
Empathy. We all give in to sin at some point. Jesus never did, but yet He understands you. “For we do not have a high priest (Jesus) who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.” (Parentheses …

Habits, Sin, Self-respect. None of us have it all figured out. I certainly don’t. Paul tells us that “we all sin and fall short of the glory of God.” We may fall into a pigsty but we don’t have to live in it. Bad habits can be hard to break. It could be using profanity, …
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?””(John 11:25-26) Martha’s brother, Lazarus, was dead; Martha and her sister Mary were heartbroken and filled with grief. Jesus’ …
Words of Life. We all have before us a treasure. We sometimes soak the beauty in for a few minutes or even half an hour. Sometimes we are too busy to stop and consider the value of the treasure we have available to us. It contains the words of life. The Bible contains the Word …
Share. The story of your faith journey is powerful. When you share with people the ‘why, when and how’ of your experience in coming to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, it will touch their heart. It will encourage the ones who know Him and, with God’s help, it will create an inspired curiosity within …
