Christians By Whose Standards?
Many Americans claim to be Christians. Statistics from a few years ago stated that between 70 – 75% of adults in America identify themselves as Christians – about 240,000,000 Americans. Knowing that 3 out of 4 adults in America are Christians is mind-boggling to me. You would think that we would know how to treat…
Read MoreMaking a Difference #The Starfish Story
Over the weekend, I was reminded of a story I had heard several years ago. There are different versions of the story, but the one I thought about had an old man and a little boy in it. It is “The Starfish Story.” I have included it at the bottom, in case you want to…
Read MoreBlessings in Life and Death
After a long day’s work, I am ready to sit back in my easy chair, kick off my shoes, and just relax and unwind. I’ve worked hard, accomplished a lot, and I deserve a rest. That’s the way our Christian life should be. We are God’s workmanship, created to do good works that He has…
Read MoreChildren of God
As a parent of 3 kids, I have so many fond memories of them growing up. We have photo albums full of pictures and awards. Like any parent, I am so proud of my kids. But, as you know, there are times when we are not so proud of them; times when they do or…

But none of these…
Read MoreMedita y Venceras
El amor de Dios nadie lo puede explicar pero estate segura o seguro de que Dios te ama. Muchas veces nosotros no meditamos en el amor de nuestro señor salvador. Andamos caminando con cargas que nos lastiman y cansan. Cuando una persona está lastimada o cansada no puede meditar en el amor de Dios. A…
Read MoreLord And Savior
We, as Christians, know that sin separates us from God and that the wages of sin is death. We know that we receive eternal life through accepting Jesus Christ. God sent Him into the world to pay the penalty for our sins; Jesus is our Savior. But He is much more than that! Jesus also…

A Lesson on Trust Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. KJV I had known for a few months that changes were being made to the training process for new believers and new members who join the church, and I really didn’t know…
