Contributed by Richard Lankford on Jul 25, 2022

Many of the things we hear and are exposed to on a regular basis shape the way we think throughout life. And for a majority of the time, our thoughts ultimately determine the actions that we take and the conclusions that we reach..

One of the things that I have discovered... not only about my own life... but about the lives of all of us as Children of God... is that whenever we face days of conflict or days of adversity, our frame of mind (our mental attitude) (our thoughts) usually determine how we come out of these ...read more

Overcoming Heartbreak

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 20, 2022

What do we do when we suffer hurt? How do we overcome past hurts? And how do we do it the way God wants us to? As we look at Romans 12, we will learn from Paul how to overcome hurts, how to be a true child of God and move past the pain.
