What Your Tongue Saya About You

Contributed by Terry Frazier on Oct 27, 2013

We get mad when people say nasty things about us but what about what we say to ourselves? Too many times we allow satan to tear us down from the inside out and to use our thoughts against us. Believers need to bring every thought unto captivity to Christ.

What Your Tongue Says About You There have been countless sermons preached on the power of the tongue. I have preached a few of them myself over the years and many of those sermons were talking about how what we say affects other people and that’s very important because what we say to and ...read more

Heaven Help My Home!

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021

The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more
