We should be grateful for God's grace
As I get older, I seem to learn more lessons from the little. That's true in many areas of life, but especially in spiritual matters. Recently, I have learned a little more about what grace is. Last month, I put up three bird feeders in my backyard. I put out the first feeder, and I did not see a bird for two weeks. But then I noticed that it was empty. Something had eaten the ...
Defining love
"Love is blind, and marriage is an eye-opener." So goes the old saying. But what is love? To many, the word itself is exciting. Love is pure, positive emotion. Love is a force to be experienced. Love is uncontrollable, thrilling bliss!
Making a family is long-term project
Family planning is a controversial topic that brings out strong feelings and visions. The family is a focal point of life that God has designed. That's why the Apostle Paul devoted so much space in Ephesians to the issues of married couples (5:22-33), kids (6:1-3) and fathers (6:4). If two people marry in their 20s and live into their 70s, that's a substantial marriage commitment and a long life together. One would never enter into ...

Follow God's way to go to Heaven
Do you understand that Jesus loves you? Yes, you - you are important to God. John wrote, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16 KJV). When someone truly loves another, they are willing to do things for that person. Jesus has done something for us (Philippians 2:5-11). Have you ever thought about what Jesus gave ...
Truth about St. Patrick different than legend
St. Patrick's Day is celebrated each year on March 17. St. Patrick became the patron saint of Ireland, so many people assume the role of being Irish for the day and participate in the revelry of celebrating St. Patrick's Day.

Trust in the Lord to deliver
Proverbs 3:5 instructs us to "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy path."
What is included in 'all these things?'
I was talking to a friend the other day, and the discussion went to Matthew 6:33 where it states "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you."
The Lord can be trusted with out lives
We have received some much-needed rain in the last week or so. Some of us wonder if we are receiving more than we need, but we also know that drought conditions have been very real in recent months. I will not complain about the rain.
Some things must be understood about God
Many people have given up on God. They feel that because things have not worked out the way they planned, serving God is not worth the time or the effort.

Mothers are joys and privileges
Eight years ago this April, my mother passed away. It has been a while since that thought has caused me to burst out in tears, but it still fills me with deep sadness. I miss her terribly. I would give just about anything to be able to hear her deep Southern drawl on the telephone again.
Heed wise words of the Master
Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). Knowing how much depends on obeying his word, a study of the Bible should be important to everyone.

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).
