    Man has played "Hide and Seek" with God since the Garden of Eden, but God has a different game He wants us to play. Do you know what it is?

    OPENING: What do you think the first game is that a child learns? For my boy Jonathan, his 1st game was "hide and seek." When he was about 1 year old he was sitting with me in the living room and had watched me put his blanket over my head and play "peek a boo." Then with a sly grin he put the ...read more

    When God's people pray, God's dispatches His angels to accomplish His plan. That means our prayers really do matter, so keep on praying until God comes through.

    Some time ago, I came across a prayer from an unknown author that I’ve learned to appreciate more and more the longer I live. It goes like this: Dear God, So far today, I've done all right. I haven't gossiped. I haven't lost my temper. I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over ...read more

    Giving up control of our lives to God who is the only one ultimately capable of settingus on the proper course for living a life of meaning.

    Our scripture for today seems to me to stand against everything that our culture seems to tell us as many other scriptures do as well.

    Don't be a silly putty christian. Bouncing around and taking on all shapes and forms. The Potter is looking for material that He can mold and make into a vessel of honor.

    Pliable Clay or Silly Putty? Text: Jer. 18:1-6 What substance are you? If only a vase could speak. It started out as an ugly chunk of dough, placed upon the wheel of the potter, spun around uncountable times with pressure applied; shaping and reshaping. Then it was sent to a ferociously hot ...read more

    There are times in our relationship with GOD that it seems that He conceals Himself from us. What, if anything, is GOD doing when He plays "Hide & Seek" ?

    When god plays Hide And Seek Job 23:8-10 8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: 9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: 10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he ...read more
