When we think of power and strength we have images like WWF and body-slamming 250 pounds on the mat! Or husbands suggesting something to our wives and they agree – now that’s power! It is short-lived but we’ll take whatever we can get! It’s the picture of “My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding” – the husband

We think that God wants us to try something on our own first, and then come to him in prayer for help only after we’ve worked at it and can’t figure it out. We hear the saying, “God helps those who help themselves” and think it’s true. Many people even believe it’s in the Bible. It’s not. It

I think Jesus still performs personal miracles for His followers so we can learn to put trust Him. These kinds of miracles don’t make the headlines. They may not mean much to anyone else. These are the little things that show us God cares about even the little details of our live … and that He

Sometimes people think God does not know what they are thinking. But He knows that some people are just "using" God, but they really detest Him.
At a tea for officers and their wives, the commanding general of a base delivered a seemingly endless oration. A young lieutenant grumbled to the woman

He prefers that we do NOT go into debt. Think about it… Most of us right now have firsthand experience that when financial woes hit us, every other area of our lives (those other six areas that we’ve talked about) are effected. Verse 6 actually said something that I felt was very convicting and

Can you think back to some of your greatest childhood memories? A younng boy got a motorcycle, then a bicycle for his birthday, then a 22 rifle for Christmas. So he set them all up and took a picture because he did not want to forget that moment. Someone stole the bicycle, and that motorcycle
