When Bad things Happen
Is God doing nothing? He is if you are saved and you do nothing. God did not save us just so we can go to Heaven. After we learn about the Lord, we tell others, who tell others, who tell others and so on. The world cannot know the Lord without being told. The way…

Let Your Light Shine
Today I had a conversation with a gentleman about what our future looks like now with the new President. I reminded him that we have to keep going forward and do what God would have us do. We just have to trust. God is in Control. Later at work I read a devotion about Eli…

Why do we point out others faults?
My Mom would say, “The one pointing out others faults is just trying to take the focus off of themselves.” I am reminded of the story in the Bible when Jesus was teaching in the temple and they brought a women to him, who had committed adultery. Jesus wrote on the ground twice and when…
