Thanksgiving - Count Your Blessings Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Nov 22, 2021

Most of us don’t fully realize just how good we’ve got it, much less what to do about it. It’s time to count your true blessings, so you can make the most of them.

“Oh, if only God would bless me!” And so we pray, “God bless me . . . with wisdom, with patience, in this decision, in my job, as I teach . . .” and the list goes on. Yet, with all our sincere seeking and praying, we miss the blessing. Why? One day as I was frantically searching through the house, ...read more

Humble life is part of a disciple, a command from the Lord himself. A proud heart is an abomination to the Lord, honour comes after humility.

There is a reward to anyone who humbles before God. Peter insists that we humble in the hand of God and not before humans. Christian Scholar and author C. S. Lewis, said, "a proud man is always looking down on things and people;" As a result, such people lose the opportunity to serve ...read more

Asking For Your Inheritance

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more
