Trust And Obey
Contributed on Jan 5, 2026
Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.
Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey.

No Way
Contributed on Apr 2, 2023
When Jesus tells the man to go and sell everything so that he will have treasure in heaven … what do you picture? Gold? Jewels? Crowns? Isn’t our treasure Jesus? Our relationship with Jesus. An eternity in Heaven with Jesus, the most precious treasure in all the universe?

"if I Can Only ..."
Contributed on Feb 26, 2023
“Do not fear, only believe” and “give God time.” We may not be able to predict how or even when God is going to act but we can be certain that He will.
As he rushed towards the shore, his heart sank as he saw how many people were already there. How was he ever going to get close enough to Him to plead for his daughter’s life … but still. He had to try. He would do anything to save his precious daughter’s life … even if it meant he had to fight ...read more
