Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 4, 2010

3 Putting On The New Self Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 25, 2019

All our lives people tell us who we are, whether out loud by their words, or silently by the way they treat us. A distorted self image leads to a distorted life. Jesus says we are children of God. Put that image on every morning as you start your day.

Every morning we face the world with this momentous decision. “What am I going to wear today?” If you are doing something important in your job you might put on your very best, just that combination that says I am confident, but not too pushy. Something creative, but not weird. Something ...read more

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

Battles are fought under a flag as their banner. The Lord is our banner, leading us forward in this life
