In 2 Tim 4:7 Paul said that death was like finishing the race. Like crossing the finish line. That all of life is really about one thing – finishing well. Accomplishing the dreams and goals that God has for your life.
I ran cross country in high school. We’d go out to these golf courses and

Have you ever seen a young boy learning to use a hammer and nails? My 2 year old son Sebastian loves to help me whenever I am working around the parsonage.
He even has his own little plastic hammer that he uses as I use the real one.
Sometimes I will let him try to hit the nail with his plastic

Be Someone's Consistent Help
Paul, in his letter to the Hebraic Christians, makes this point:
"…exhort one another daily, while it is called Today, lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." [Hebrews 3:13]

John Newton: Infidel Restored

With Jesus standing by;
His presence always cheers me,
I know that He is nigh.

The other day I saw a man wearing a tee shirt which read "Jesus is Coming -- Look Busy" Of course, it was a statement of unbelief. But Jesus is coming, and we must not merely look busy, but be busy. Jesus said "I must work the works of
