    Whom are we serving and who is our Master? Jesus gave two options – God or money. The life of Elisha and his servant Gehazi will teach us what we should value and whom we should serve.

His flesh became firm and healthy like that of a child.” (GNB) Naaman the commander of the Syrian army came to the home of the Prophet Elisha, ...read more

    20th in series on Joshua. This is about the tribe of Manasseh wanting more land, but not willing to fight for it. They lacked courage, so they whined about their condition. Sound familiar?

    Joshua 17:11-18 – Play It Safe I read of a report called Play It Safe. The report said, "Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% ...read more
