If You Want To Grow, Examine What You Think You Know

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 22, 2023

Give God the glory for all you are and all you will be. Let us look inside ourselves and find the person God created us to be. If you know yourself, more power to you, but we still need to examine ourselves, if for no other reason than that is what God told us to do. Examine Yourself!

When you know who you are in Christ, you can easily follow the Lord’s Way and Truth. Some of you think, “That’s too hard.” However, I ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your remembrance that Jesus, Himself, said: “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matt. 11:30, NIV). If things are hard for some ...read more

God Is In Control! But What About Your Part?

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

God is control of all things, but you do have a part to play in it all. God wants us to submit to authorities, but are you following God's will by voting for the person who should be in office?
