Therefore we will not we fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

The Joy of the Lord The Bible says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength”. If so, why is it that we walk around with our heads hung down, absorbed and overcome by our circumstances as though they have the last word? We must refuse to be a slave to our emotions and circumstances—tossed to and...

In Hot Pursuit Funny how when it comes to things we want in life we become focused and very creative in ways to achieve it. And we stay in hot pursuit, willing to go through “hell and high water” to make it happen. That’s the attitude God wants when it comes to relating to Him. We’ve...

Most Valuable We Are Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. – M.
