"First Things First" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Jul 17, 2017

Happiness is a choice. If you do not have it, it is no one else’s fault. It is because you have chosen otherwise. Arrange your priorities and choose the things that really matter.

A Light In The Darkness

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Jan 3, 2019

This world can often be a very dark place - senseless acts of violence, hatred and abuse - selfishness, greed and anger in our own hearts and lives. A saving Light appears that brings genuine peace and lasting purpose. See how Jesus is a Light in the darkness of this world.
