And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more

God has made a great investment in us so that we might make a great investment in others. Bringing others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is where we should invest our time and energy. God will examine the books to see if we made a profit for Him.

How is your life invested? Luke 19:11-27 Matthew 25:14-46 I’m always fascinated about how many different conclusions people can come to about God’s word. This is especially obvious when you read and study the Parables of Jesus. There is great temptation to take the words of Jesus and make them ...read more

Everyday of our lives we are trading. whether we are aware of it or not. Right here you are seated, you are trading your time for this knowledge (assets) which will eventually result into something great in the future. And only trading will change the value of what we received originally in life.

Will You Be Ready?

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019

With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more
