    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 1, 2025
     | 73 views

    We can stand under Gis mystery, His greatness, His uniqueness, and admire or adore Him. That’s the extent of our “understanding,” to stand beneath his Being.

    In a world full of distraction, it is more important than ever to refocus our attention and worship on what truly matters: Christ.

    TOO BUSY TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING How many of you have ever had a day where you had so much to do, that you just couldn’t get anything done?

     | 3,900 views

    We are consumed by everything but God. God is not a priority. However, after we put things in perspective, maybe we can choose God over our personal agendas.

    Starve your distraction and feed your focus Proverbs 4:25 “Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.” Allow me to lay the foundation by giving you something to ponder. Today we live in an age of unprecedented distraction. We have a diminishing tolerance for ...read more

    This message is about two of Satan's most successful tactics used against the Church- Diversions and Distractions. His goal is to divert us from the path God has us on or get us so disttacted that we become ineffectual as Christians.
