    God’s message to the people of Israel reminds us of the need to rely upon His Spirit in the work we are doing today. We need to pray, trust Him and offer what little we have. Success is assured, not by human efforts but by the power of His Spirit.

    Zech 4:6 “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” says the LORD Almighty. The will of God will never lead to where the grace of God cannot keep you. • When He calls us to do a task, He will give us the strength to do it. • When He calls us to move, He will show us the way. • Whatever God ...read more

    No matter how well we think we have made preparations, there are times that we fall short of our goal. It is not through our own efforts that we will attain eternal life - it is only through obedience to God’s plan and acceptance of Jesus as our Savior.

We were taking the youth to the Real Life Church in Macon to their Judgement House presentation called “the METH Effect”. I had called earlier in the week to try to make a reservation and was told that the earliest ...read more
