    No servant is above his master, and the disciples of Christ are called to follow Him to the Calvary, however costly this may be.

    Who’s coming off of a great week? Me too. But my brother made me homesick with a photo of the beach where we grew up. Living in Hawaii, I was never much of a surfer, but I did enjoy boogie boarding. There’s nothing quite like catching a wave, sliding along the waters’ azure arch. ...read more

     | 8,867 views

    Saul and David illustrate the differences between true and false success in life.

    Don't be a silly putty christian. Bouncing around and taking on all shapes and forms. The Potter is looking for material that He can mold and make into a vessel of honor.

    Pliable Clay or Silly Putty? Text: Jer. 18:1-6 What substance are you? If only a vase could speak. It started out as an ugly chunk of dough, placed upon the wheel of the potter, spun around uncountable times with pressure applied; shaping and reshaping.

    Sometimes it needs to be spelled out in black and white for us....the Bible is very clear!

    I love the study of history - learning about past civilizations and cultures. What it was like to live in the Roman Empire during its first two centuries particularly fascinates me. An area of Roman life that I found to be rather interesting was the position of slaves. In Paul’s day, half of ...read more

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 26 1. And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And ...read more
