                    Possessed of a good income, guaranteeing the supply of every need, it is of little moment that God has pledged himself to provide all needful things for those who seek his kingdom first. Environed by troops of faithful friends, like so many successive lines of defence entrenched in the strong

                    Let me share with you this story about The Pencil:
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.  There are five things you need to know, he told the pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best

                    Beware of human add ons; It’s like when you go to a store like Wal Mart or Makro and you buy loads of stuff and you think  its really cheap till you go through the check out and you find out they havent added the VAT on until you ready to pay as you go through the check out.. There is a big add on

                    It’s not too late for any of us. But we can’t guarantee that for even the next few seconds. When God gives us the one more last chance we ask for, it may really be the last one he plans to give us.

                    One evening the door bell rang.I was tired and trodded downstairs feeling like a martyr. I opened the door to find an elderly parishioner. She said, "I just wanted you to have this." I said thank you. It was an envelope of money, nearly a month’s pay for me. I left it on my bedroom bureau.

For parties and for fun and play;
Why this is Christmas!

                    God wants to touch us.  He knows that we need his touch to live.  Through Jesus God came here to do just that.  Jesus’ death for us, and resurrection for us, and ascension to glory from which he sent the Holy Spirit for us, is God’s gift to us so that we can touch him.

Of all the responsibilities and great offices that Jesus filled, His being a teacher rated near the top, if not at the top. When He gave the Sermon on the Mount, He seated Himself and His disciples came to Him: and He opened His mouth and taught them.
