"I give you my word" is often used when making a promise, but how long is it valid? Our words and promises will expire at some point, because we are not eternal; God, however, is. The Bible gives us His word, His living word. Hold on firmly to this and all other promises He's made,… Continue reading Written in Stone

I Forgive Me
Often times I've been guilty of not forgiving myself. It seems we are much better in doing this for others, yet burden ourselves with a heavy load that we shouldn't be carrying. The Bible is clear; the wage of sin is death, a price already paid by Jesus himself. All that is left to do is recognize that… Continue reading I Forgive Me

We may never see the fruits of our labor here… Continue reading Working Enthusiastically

This era, that we currently live in, is so technologically advanced that there is a science to almost everything. Most things can be measured, plotted on a graph and have a numerical value.
