     | 7,786 views

    What happens when something goes wrong - does it mean you are bad? What happens when you think you’ve heard God and things don’t work out - does it mean you didn’t hear right? Paul answers both questions in this 1st chapter.

    We learn the secret of Paul the Apostle - that though he saw things no other man has ever seen, the most important secret of all is letting us fall by the wayside and let God live through us.

    Christian mothers are special people selected by God.

    Text: “Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother…” (John 19:25). Today is Mother’s Day and it is nice that the day was set aside as a special day to recognize mothers, but in reality, every day should be Mother’s Day. Mothers deserve to be praised on a daily basis. It was our mother who ...read more

    Some say "Kids will be kids" meaning that if you just leave them alone, they’ll turn out okay. But the writer of Proverbs disagreed. Do you know why?

    James Dobson tells of a 10 year old boy named Robert who was an absolute terror. Whenever his mother went to the doctor, he would literally attack the office, grabbing instruments and files and telephones. All the while his passive mother could do little more than shake her head in bewilderment. ...read more

    We have all experienced failure like Samson. But do you feel your hair starting to grow back???

    The High Cost of Living Low Some are born to privilege, w/ many advantages, and can't seem to succeed, and then others are the opposite, born to nothing, and rise above it all to great success.
