A Homeless God

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Dec 20, 2023

Christmas is about God's greatest gift to us and the miracle of salvation. It is also about coming together as a family and making room for one another in our hearts. The question is, "have we left our Savior out in the cold?"

A Little Child

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

Solomon called himself a little child. In this statement he showed both humility and honesty. The truth is, we can all call ourselves little children. And we should!

Why did Solomon compare himself to a little child? 1. He was young 2. He was inexperienced 3. He wanted wisdom and understanding His request for wisdom pleased God, and God gave him that plus so much more. We can also ask for wisdom, and are invited to do so.
