    Introduction A 104 year-old woman was being interviewed by a Christian reporter. The reporter asked the woman if it was easier or more difficult to live the Christian life the older you get. The lady thought for a moment and said, “Well, there is less peer pressure.” Some things may get easier ...read more

    We can receive God’s best only if we stay where God puts us to grow. Gleaning in the field where we are, like Ruth in Boaz’ fields.

    Fields of Provision By Pastor Jim May Ruth 2:4-9 One of the things that causes many new converts, and even established Christians, to lose their relationship with the Lord is that they do not stay where God puts them. Instead, we tend to wander from church to church, ministry to ministry, from ...read more

    Are You Still Being Saved Today?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 19, 2009
