    Mary Magdalene would be the very first person that Christ choose to reveal himself to on that great day of resurrection morning. This could not have been by coincidence.

    God’s will for someone, no matter what other details there are, boils down to loving Him first and serving others, just the same as for Peter.

    A pastor received a call from a church that offered him a salary four times what he was then receiving. Being a devout man, he spent much time in prayer trying to discern what God wanted him to do. One day a friend met the pastor’s young son on the street. “Do you know what your dad is going to ...read more

    Giving is a gift. A troubled church at Corinth heard a word on it at the end of their first letter. Giving brings healing, because it brings us closer to God.

    Can you believe it? We come now to the end of this letter to the Corinthians. You know, we’ve been reading someone else’s mail here… There are a lot of personal problems in this church that this letter talks about. I’m not sure, if I were a member of the Corinthian church, how I would feel ...read more
