    Perhaps the greatest lessons I learned about life came during Marine Corps bootcamp, Paris Island, the Summer of 1978. Christians need bootcamp too.

SPIRITUAL BOOTCAMP When I was young I was a very active kid, I am sure many of you were as well. We may have to strain a little to remember those days, but most all of us could not ...read more

    Spiritual Growth And Learning Is A Life-Long Adventure

    The crops determine when the harvest will occur. If the crop is a metaphor for spiritual growth the harvest must never happen. Thus, spiritual growth can never stop.

    Spiritual Growth and Learning is a Life-Long Adventure Mark 4:26-29 26 And He was saying, "The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 "The soil ...read more

    The primary lesson for spiritual children to learn is how to walk with God.

    Jesus is the only one who ever lived on earth who in every way pleased God the Father. He was everything the Father wanted Him to be.

    When you know the Lord, He turns your pain into praise. He turns opposition into opportunity for the spread of the Gospel if you will take that opportunity to preach the Word to all without prejudice and without price.
