     | 6,036 views

    Every single circumstance that comes to us is first sifted through the hand of the One who loves us.

    1. Well, the most common question I ask, & I hear in the midst of trials is WHY! -- Why this? Now? Me? Why him? WHY LORD?!!?! • But I’ve noticed that God doesn’t always answer that question. • He doesn’t always reveal the WHY, or explain the details. • He simply calls us to trust… cling… hold on to ...read more

    Rom 12:3-8

    TOO BIG NOT TO FALL (ROMANS 12;3-8) What is a church? The church is not a place but a people, an organism and not an organization, a community and not a club, a body and not a building. It’s more “who” than “what” or “where.” It’s been said: “I ...read more

    A look at John the Baptist's words that Christ must increase, while he decreases. What does that mean for the Christ follower.

    ✞>I< John 3:26-30 February 5, 2012 When you think about words, the word “DOWN” doesn’t have many positive meanings. It’s a word reserved for cowards, losers and bear markets. It’s a word that is to be avoided or ignored. When you attach it to other words it ...read more
