    Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more

Paul mentions various gifts or abilities. • 1 Corinthians 12:8-11, For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to ...read more
