    Ephesians 1:3 says we have already been given every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms, yet we do not seem to have them. Could it be because we do not know how to reach out and take them?

    JOHN 10:10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." The Good News Bible translates that statement of Jesus as, "I have come in order that you might have life ---- life in all its fullness." That’s what our faith ...read more

    I heard the story once of a great Cherokee wood carver. He took logs and sat them on a stump outside his back door and sat in front of that log sometimes for hours just staring at it.

He was afraid, ...read more

    Using the story of Jacob and Esau, we show that the only way to have a better life (or in this case a better New Year) is by facing God to find out who you really are in Him! And then turning your trust over to Him.

    Someone once describe insanity as doing something the exact same way over and over again, but each time expecting to get a totally different result.

    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,997 views

    We can look back to what God did for us in 2005, or ahead to what He wants to do for us in 2006. We can look both ways, but we can only step out one way ... and that should be in faith.
