    CAUTION IS BETTER THAN CURE (JOSHUA 9) I have been exercising and swimming in a pool for 30 minutes a day since 2003 due to my weak knees from too much basketball.

    The birth announcement of Jesus was exciting and challenging all at the same time. Immediately she experienced "aloneness." Her fiancé wanted to put her away privately. Her future kids would not initially believe her story. What do we learn from Mary's "aloneness?"

    This year is the 33rd anniversary of the “Home Alone” movie where a young boy named Kevin McAlister was accidently left behind and alone in his home during the holidays while his family causing young Kevin to have to set up bungling traps for “to be” burglars- “Harry and Marv.” The last 33 years ...read more

    How many of you have failed in life? I have failed. You have failed. We have all tasted the bitter dregs of failure. There are endless numbers of people who walked into a dark storm that never ended. But there is hope. God can take you through your storm and bring you out smelling like a rose!

    Who is there among us who has not failed? I have failed. You have failed. We have all tasted the bitter dregs of failure. Every day you see people captured and crushed by some personal failure.

    God offers unshakeable peace and renewed strength in life’s storms when we bring our fears to Him and trust in His faithful presence.

    Some of us walked in today with our shoulders tight and our phones buzzing. Headlines howl. Schedules stretch. Hearts race. You know the feeling—when the ground under your feet seems to shift and your peace feels paper-thin. In those hours, we want something steady, something sure. We long for a ...read more

    based on 41 ratings
     | 5,704 views

    Many of us dislike dealing with unplanned events, but those who need us need us now. So either we paralyze or we panic, unless we learn to work together inside God’s grace and unless we discern that He is giving us time in which to grow our faith.

    I have the utmost admiration for anybody who can live amid constant crises. I cannot do that very well. If you are the kind of person who can keep your sanity when there are ten unplanned things happening around you, I salute you. How do you do it? That’s not me. That’s not my skill. I like ...read more

    The lions are roaring, which do you hear? Are you listening to the "roaring" of Satan or the "roaring" of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah?
