I am very grateful for the people who (when I was an 18 year old student) taught me to tithe. At the time they had very little to get out of it - it was a church full of students. Students don’t have very much money - and 10% is not very much, not at all very much. Coupled with that, we were

I watched Denise Jackson, the wife of country star Alan Jackson share her testimony on CBN, and it is also in her new book “It’s all about HIM”. She is not talking about Alan, but the Lord Jesus. She said she was raised in church, and went every Sunday, and had the head knowledge. But after

Coming in Last
Discouragement cramps our momentum; the heat-stroke of opposition can drain our stamina and motivation. Running into obstacles that drive our faces in the asphalt of reality make it hard to get back up.
