  • Shifting Sands

     | 3,179 views

    SHIFTING SANDS One of my favorite things to do at the beach is to just sit or stand on the beach right where the waves wash up under my feet. The waves are refreshing, but I like most what happens as the waves retreat. As the waves retreat, the water takes the sand around and under my feet away. ...read more

    YOU CAN'T STUDY ALL THE TIME The best way I can explain what I mean is looking at my teacher training. As most of you know, I was at once time a student teacher.

  • God Said It, That Ends It

    Contributed by Charles Worth on Aug 7, 2009
     | 2,515 views

    GOD SAID IT, THAT ENDS IT One of my pet peeves is a bumper sticker. It reads; "God said it, I believe it and that ends it." Now many of you may think that is a reasonable statement. I, on the other hand, have a problem with it--you see, once God says it, THAT ends it. THAT makes it truth. Whether ...read more

    WHAT THE WORD "DWELLING IN US" LOOKS LIKE I think Sam Storms, in his book on Colossians, describes well what it looks like for the word of Christ to dwell in us.
