Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” John 21:21 NLT
What about him?

I do believe more people worry about other people than they worry about themselves! Continue reading

Your Pessimistic Enemy
Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, Deut 28:47-48

Anger is an enemy; as is fear, discouragement, hatred, bigotry, anxiety, and hopelessness. Continue reading
Look For The Silver Lining
“Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” Est 5:13
Remember last time how Haman allowed the non-actions of Mordecai to ruin his day.

Have you ever had your day ruined by one person? Continue reading
Plucked From The Net

More Intimate With Jesus – Less Intimate With The World
What does Jim Bakker, Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggard, Lonnie Latham, Paul Barnes, and Billy James Hargis all have in common?
Ministry scandals!
Those few names are just the tip of the iceberg of a list that keeps on growing.
There have always been con-artists and charlatans that want nothing more than to separate you from your money; Continue reading
Old Sign – New Sign
For perhaps as long as 2 or 3 years our church has been without a sign and many thought we were closed down.
The old sign was wooden and held up for years; but wood warps and rots.
New signs can be metal, plastic, lit or unlit; either way they are expensive. Continue reading
Uno – It Means One!
