Scott Peck, an author and Psychiatrist, who wrote “The Road Less Traveled.” And He goes on to say that the key to dealing with the difficulty of life is just simply realizing and accepting the fact that life is ...read more

    SILENT SOLITUDE Peace and quiet. How many times have you wished for that? How many times have you tried to get it but were unsuccessful? Maybe you share Job's sentiment. Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” We can understand why Job would say this. ...read more

     | 3,149 views

    Counting our blessings can often be a way of encouraging ourselves in our walk with Christ. However, there's one blessing we often forget.

The great King David finds it necessary to instruct himself, or remind himself, not to forget any of the Lord’s blessings or benefits. If David had to ...read more
