    To everything there is a season and a purpose under Heaven. God loved each of us before the world was created. He knows us by name. God will always guide and direct us through all the seasons of life.

    Every time I hear the word “season” I think of the song “Turn, Turn, Turn.” It was recorded by Pete Seeger and the Byrds in 1965. The majority of people who heard and liked this song had no idea it was based on the words found in the 3rd chapter of Ecclesiastes, all except ...read more

    The Night God Slept in Ashdod The night air in Ashdod still smelled of sweat and smoke. Victory drums thudded through the narrow streets; torches painted the walls with leaping fire.

    When someone makes reference to "one thing", you take special notice because you realize that a priority is being mentioned. Let us pay attention to the priorities of God.

    ONE THING When you start a new job, and the boss tells all the rules; you listen. When he says that there is one thing that needs to be done above everything else; you make a very special mental note, knowing that thing is a top priority. When it gets close to Christmas and the kids begin to tell ...read more

    This is about getting priorities straight.

    Worship is bringing pleasure to God. One way we bring pleasure to God is by doing his will for us, and his church. We have two big problems though.
