    Find Joy In Everything You Do

     | 5,338 views

    It has been said that “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God.” Or it has been said that “Joy is the flag that flies over the castle of our hearts announcing that the King is in residence today!”

    What is your greatest joy? Is there something that continually brings joy to you? Or, if you were to look back over your whole life to determine what brought you the greatest joy, what would it be? I believe that true joy only comes from our Creator. When our earth was formed, it was created to ...read more

     | 14,524 views

    The Bible doesn’t promise that life on earth would be pleasant for believers. Neither is it the will of God for us to just strive or survive; His plan is for us to thrive and be fruitful.

    THRIVING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT "12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a ...read more

    Contributed by Don Campbell on May 8, 2023
