Learning to grow trust in God
As I do almost every year, I have planted a vegetable garden. There are tomato, pepper, cucumber, squash, okra, cabbage, broccoli and lettuce plants growing even now.
Better get around to it before you can't
Many people have things that they are going to "get around to." A trip is one thing many people say this about. They hear of a place or see something that makes them want to go there, but they can't go right now. However, one day they will "get around to it."

Grapes or giants and grasshoppers
"And they came unto the brook of Eshcol and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs … And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants, and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight" (Numbers 13:23-33).
Being Christian is like firefighting

From Passover to Pentecost through Scriptures

Impart life's lessons by example
There is a verse in Proverbs that we Christians like to trust in as one of the great promises of God. Chapter 22, verse 6 reads like this: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
Teach the children well
Every Sunday morning, we have a time in our worship service that is called "Children's Moments." The younger boys and girls gather around me at the front of the church, and I tell them a story.
Handle the word of God wisely
Destiny can be defined as the inevitable or necessary succession of events. When we study the word of God, we see that destiny is a fact that every person faces. It teaches us of two places, heaven and hell. One of these will be our place of eternal destiny when this life is over. God prepared hell for the devil and his angels, but sinful man will find himself there if he does ...
The sin of keeping silent

Heed wise words of the Master

God shows wack back to salvation
God created man to worship and love him. He had prepared a place for man to dwell, providing all of man's needs. (Genesis 1, 2). In doing this, God allowed for his creation, man, to be able to decide to obey him or to follow another way (Joshua 24:15).
