     | 3,321 views

    The search for true, lasting happiness and fulfillment in life always ends with finding Christ as Savior. The happiness that the world offers is fleeting and false.

    The Search for True Happiness by Pastor Jim May In today’s church, more than ever before, it is so easy to go after things that we believe will bring true happiness. But what we often find after we have obtained what we sought after is most often far less than what we thought it would be and ...read more

    One of the greatest battles of spiritual warfare - getting ourselves out of Bed!

    One of the most important things a believer does is spend time with God. If we were to walk up to people on the street and ask them, ¡§Do you think that if someone called themselves a Christian that they should pray¡¨ The answer would be duh, of course. If we were to ask them do they think a ...read more

    37th in a series from Ephesians. The "conventional wisdom" is that this passage deals with our individual anger. But Paul seems to have something else in mind here.

    This week I ran into what was billed as a “Conventional Wisdom IQ Test”. The idea is to see how many of the sayings of conventional wisdom that one can complete. The original test had 20 questions, but for time’s sake let’s see how well we can do on just 10 of them: 1. If it’s not broken.... ...read more
