    The ministry of the Holy Spirit allows us to hear from God; to discern His voice. Therefore, prayer, meditation, and knowing the voice of Him is critical! Do we know His truth over the noise of everything else competing for our attention?

    Sharing the gospel next door and around the world is criticized by those around us, some who are in our churches. We need to share because we are told to do it and because people desprately need it to be released from the pain and penalty of wrongdoing.

    Many Americans are star struck, enamored with stardom. It is like we idolize celebrities, to include animated and fictional characters.

    Often people are attracted to performances based upon the popularity of the performers, or the authors. (My wife’s father enjoyed David Baldacci, James Patterson, Danielle Steele, etc.).

    It is amazing how understanding a person and a historical event gives a different way of looking at history. I enjoy reality fiction, especially in movies.

     | 7,965 views

    One of the disciplines critical for us to practice in order to live debt free is to look beyond the immediate. You have to stay focused on God’s promised future. Debt is always about the immediate; it’s always seeking relief or immediate gratification

Serving from the heart is the theme of the study that we are looking at during Sunday School for the next few ...read more
