    OPENING – THE CROOKED FURROW I was fifteen the summer an old farmer in Tennessee handed me the biggest responsibility I’d ever had. “Take the tractor,” he said, “and plow that field.” It was no small patch of ground. Thirty acres of Tennessee red clay stretched behind the barn, rolling gently ...read more

    Time flies. Months slip away. Years are lost. Before we know it, a decade has passed. However, decades of the past can teach us today!

    The 60s I. Introduction It is an understatement that time flies. However, this is never more apparent than when you reflect over a period of 10 years or a decade.

    Children Of The Devil

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,114 views

    Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

    Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more

    God has uniquely created and called each person to serve others, turning ordinary moments into purposeful opportunities to reflect His love and grace.

    Some mornings the mirror asks more questions than it answers. You brush your teeth, pour the coffee, scroll the headlines, and somewhere between the toast and the traffic you whisper, “Lord, why am I here? What do You want with a Tuesday like this?” If that’s you, you’re in good company today. God ...read more

    Jesus calls the overlooked blessed, inviting us to trust God in our need and to love others radically, reflecting His kingdom in everyday life.

    Friend, if your week has left you weary, your heart hungry, or your eyes wet, you are in good company. Jesus knows the language of low places. He lifts His eyes toward the faces that feel forgotten and speaks blessing. He sees the empty pantry and the tear-stained pillow. He sees the moments you ...read more

    The parable of the dishonest manager asks us to reflect on whether or not we as Christians are as willing to take drastic action for Christ as non-believers are to care for themselves.

    The Bible uses many sports related images. In this classic text, the writer to the Hebrews explores the image of a race to reflect upon the nature of a disciple's life.

    I am a sports fan, and the big news for me most recently is that the New Orleans Saints opened training camp on July 28th, about ten days ago, and they’re first pre-season game is only a mere thirteen days away. Not only that, but I know the local high schools are gearing up for the new ...read more
