    Throwing a fleece...is it right for christians today. Perhaps by looking at whatGideon did copaired to what he should do gives us direction.

    Signs for Life Judges 6:33-39 Well we are in week 3 with the story of Gideon. We started out with a view of a coward, that an angel called a mighty warrior. It seems like positive reinforcement, tell someone they are good long enough that they believe it. The angel informs that it is He, ...read more

    The Better Life

    We Americans have made it our goal to seek "The Good Life". We do that by earning and spending. But God would rather give us "The Better Life" that comes from earning and giving.

    One of the main things I think that we and all other people in America are searching for is the good life. Am I right? I mean, we all want to have a good home, a good car or two, good vacations, good children, good friends, good food, and so on. Who wouldn’t want such a good life? ...read more
