    A man was watching a wood carver carve a six foot bear out of a large chunk of wood. The man was fascinated as he watched him and he finally asked him, “HOW DO YOU DO THAT?”

    The wood carver said, “It really isn’t as hard as it looks. What I do is get a huge piece of wood, and I carve out everything that does not look like a bear!” This is what God is trying to do with our lives. He wants to cut everything that does not look like Christ out of our lives. Peter shows ...read more

    One of the best ways you can determine that a person is a SPIRITUAL PERSON is by the way they spend their TIME and MONEY.

The way we spend our time tells a great deal about us. Because time is important to us, most of us ...read more

     | 76 views

    True victory in life’s battles comes through prayer and relying on God’s spiritual weapons, surrendering every thought to Christ rather than fighting in our own strength.

    Some battles thunder. Others whisper. Some arrive like a storm front on the horizon. Others slip in through the crack beneath the door, like worry, like weariness, like the what-ifs that wake us at 2:13 a.m. You know those skirmishes, don’t you? The ones between your ears and behind your ribs. The ...read more

    Good morning, friends. I’m so glad we get to sit under the kindness of Jesus together today.
