Terry Barton is a 38-year-old woman and had worked every summer for the Forest Service for 18 or 19 years. She had ventured into the forest to burn a letter ...read more

    After they got into the ministry, they soon found out that things are not as easy as they look, and they left the ministry and found themselves a job where they could make more money and have less headaches.

    Now I am not a chef, but I would imagine that if you were going to feed a group of chefs, you had better know something about cooking. Our Lord told Peter to, "feed My sheep.”

    In this particular passage of scripture, he is feeding the “Spiritual Chefs”, the ministers of the gospel. Notice that he speaks of: I. THE ELDER Verse 1. "The elders which are among you...” From this verse we see who he is addressing and where they are located: “Which are among you…” ...read more

    Jesus, the Good Shepherd, personally calls us by name, offering true life, guidance, and security amid life’s noise and distractions.

    Some weeks feel like standing in a crowded barn. So many voices. So much noise. Phones buzz. News churns. Deadlines demand. You find yourself wondering, Does anyone hear me?
