    On the face of it, the Prayer of Jabez would appear to be the kind of petition God wouldn’t answer - too selfish.

    Often times challenging people to have a vision is the challenge. Causing them to see what and where God wants to take them is sometimes hard. When you are preaching about vision and people look at you like you are out there... Ya mean you want me to have

    Do we have a vision? My life is but a weaving Between my Lord and me I cannot choose the colors He worketh steadily Off times He weaveth sorrow And I in foolish pride Forget He sees the upper And I the underside Not till the loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly Shall God unroll the ...read more

    Lesson 9

    The first seven Beatitudes illustrate the spiritual journey from the time a man realizes he’s lost to the time he begins to develop signs of Christlikeness. We saw first of all that it begins with being "poor in spirit." To be "poor in spirit" means to acknowledge our total spiritual poverty ...read more

    All of us get "heartburn" feelings over the questions "What is our world coming to?" and "What do I do with my life?". The risen Lord gives us better answers than we are able to develop on our own.

Every now and then, when you’re tired, or you’ve worked too hard, or there’s been a lot of stress ... every now and then, do you get a strange, tight feeling in the chest?

    When we view children as a curse rather than a blessing we are under God’s curse. One reason that is true, I believe, is that children reveal whether we have a servant’s heart or a selfish heart. A selfish heart is more concerned about getting away from
