     | 2,600 views

    There is no retirement in the Christian life. Your calling is active and valuable to the King until your last breath.

    If you are still breathing there is time to do great things for God. Not necessary notable things. You may not get applause from your church, your name in the paper or the key to your city, but you can do great things. God's valuation is far different than man's. Matthew 10:42 And ...read more

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 105 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more
