    Don’t use the excuse that you can’t help slipping into sin. Call on God’s power to free you from sin’s grip. Don’t run to sin but run away from it. Do not deliberately put yourself in a situation where you become vulnerable to sin. Tactic: ‘Submit to God,

    This is the second message in a series from the book of Ecclesiastes that examines Solomon's wisdom in regard to the mistakes that he had made in his life. This message examines the pursuit of success how it is always elusive and leaves one feeling empty.

    Dear Diary, “I want to be a success but the harder I pursue success the more empty I feel.” As we begin I really feel that we must answer three extremely difficult questions. What drives you? What causes you to work the way you do? What happens to all you have worked for when you exit ...read more
