    Heaven, a blessing in itself, is filled with blessings beyond measure, but here are 4 special blessings.

    We all prefer receiving blessings more than we enjoy being cursed. At least those among us who are not masochists who take pleasure in being hurt or punished. That holds especially true when we refer to how God works in our lives. I have never yet sought the Lord’s curse, but constantly request ...read more

    I want to live a true, real Christian life. I hope you do too. So we’re going to search out in the scriptures some of the most practical teachings we can find. We’re going to look at the dos and the don'ts and hopefully we’ll find a better understanding of what faith looks like.
