    The story that began with famine ends with fullness—because the Redeemer who restores Naomi’s arms still turns our emptiness into enough.

When we opened this book, we found famine, funerals, and tears in Moab. Now we end with a baby in Bethlehem. The story that began with emptiness ends with enough. If ...read more

     | 7,704 views

    If we can only do one thing this year, what would that be? May I propose for us to strive to develop a close personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ using the 4-step process of FORGETTING (OR FORGIVING) THE PAST, FOCUSING ON THIS GOAL,

    “ONE THING I DO” (V.13) Philippians 3: 12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it.

    The greatest commandment Jesus gave us is to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This commandment summarizes all the teachings of the law and the prophets and shows us how we should live as His disciples.

    The Evidence For Christ's Resurrection

     | 6,040 views

    The five evidences, or testimonies, for the resurrection of Jesus Christ presented in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 are: 1) the Church; 2) the Scriptures; 3) the Eyewitnesses; 4) a Special Witness, and 6) the Common Message.

    The one interesting factor about this time of year is the sudden attention things of faith get. When so many people across this planet meet on one morning to celebrate the most historically verifiable event, it is hard to ignore. Yet every possible explanation about alternative theories in regards ...read more
