    We have been gifted for service. But how are we powered. Because we do things according to our own agenda, we often "flame-out" and crash and burn.

He is the God of the universe so wherever you are He is there. If you are not hearing from Him it is not a location problem. It is ...read more

    Jesus teaches three ways NOT to go after self-worth, and then concludes with the only truly lasting and meaningful way to find one's worth. Not only that, but he models that true way for us.

And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more
