The Stairway To Happiness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 4, 2023

Ignorance of God’s character and law often renders our loving feelings toward our neighbors empty or misguided.

The 153 Fish Wake-Up Call Series

But somehow every single store in all of existence seems to feel it as they’re already putting out Christmas decorations. I think by next year we’re going to see combo-fireworks stands selling candy canes and ...read more
