    What do you hang onto when the storms of life rage, you’ve lost all control, and all hope is lost? The strong anchor of God’s presence, God’s promises, and God’s power.

    Solomon is troubled by the unfairness of life. But he was the king - why didn't he just legislate away injustice and punish all the wrong-doers and give away some his vast wealth to feed the poor? Why wouldn't that work?

    OPEN: Awhile back there was an article that appeared in a Kentucky newspaper which read: "I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, that I was culturally deprived. Then they told me 'deprived' ...read more

    Are you tight with your treasure? You’ll be tight with your heart as well. It’s the age old battle that we all fight… the battle between selfishness and generosity. Truly, it is more blessed to give generously than it is to receive.
