    Honoring Dad And Mom

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 9, 2012

     | 3,623 views

    Honoring God is closely followed by honoring parents. This is no accidental order in the Ten Commandments list. We do well to pay attention here and help our children follow this.

    Don’t you enjoy watching your kids learn as they grow up? Think of all the things you teach your children: How to walk, talk, pray, trust God, follow Jesus, Bible characters, eat, clean up, tie shoes, dress, share, sit quietly in church, get along with brothers or sisters, and on and on. ...read more

Sometimes we are given an opportunity for a fresh start but how we handle the fresh start will determine how we finish. Let’s look at three things that I believe will help us when we find that we ...read more

    The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

    Real Mothers are special people. Real mothers would like to be able to eat a whole candy bar (all by themselves) and drink a Coke without any "floaters" in it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy ...read more

    Should Churches Do Business?

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,205 views

    A church should be an active, contributing member of its community, rather than a closed-off mini-community that keeps to itself and this can extend to becoming involved in business or in the business community.

    Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more

    What are you afraid of? Is it the dark? Is it strangers? How about the fear of heights or closed spaces? Many of us have these fears and have a hard time getting over them.

    I guess it wouldn’t help if I told you that they are a mere figment of your imagination? There is a story about a tight-rope walker. He was performing in the local circus in the big-tent. He was more than 50 feet in the air and had no net. As he moved about there were oohs and ahhhs. After his ...read more
