Bless You!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 28, 2020

In the Beatitudes, Jesus shows the way of the believer. As we follow Christ daily, we will be blest. Our focus should be on the blessing, not the circumstance, and we should share the blessing with others.

What Is A Christian?

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 2, 2020

The term Christian has been so abused and diluted that it has very little meaning to most of us ...read more

The Heroine Of God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 30, 2014

Deborah was one of the great "she-roes" of God. What was it about her that made her a heroine in the book of Judges and what is it about her faith that got God's attention?
