    Open My Eyes Our scripture for today reminds me of another scripture passage from 1 Kings 19. (Read 1 Kings 19:11-13) We get so wrapped up in our conversations and we’re so focused on what we’re going to say that we aren’t listening. I have been in conversations like that myself. ...read more

    We are called to be disciples who carry out Jesus’ great commission. The Bible is essential to build ourselves up to be active and effective believers. However, it’s important, with that knowledge, for Christians to look at the fruit Godly character needs to produce in our lives.

    Just as the dragnet sweeps in all kinds of creatures, the kingdom will contain all kinds of people; meaning that God isn’t picky about who enters into heaven, so long as they confess Jesus as Lord and are committed to living for Him.

    This evening we will be looking at “The Parable of the Dragnet.” What in the world is a dragnet? William Barclay says, “The dragnet is what we know as the seine net, a large net which has corks at the top and weights at the bottom so that it stands, as it were, upright in the sea. Ropes attached ...read more

    We assume there is a great distance between the sacred and the secular. The problem is when we assume that we separate a huge part of our lives from God’s plan for us.

    I am often surprised by the contents of some of the emails I receive. This week I had an email from one of the websites I follow that contained a report about oligochaetologists.
