    The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. This is a powerful piece of scripture that just seemed to jump out of the page at us. To me it speaks volumes. To me it says there is a lot of work to be done but not many of us wanting to do it. When I was a young lad on our family farm the ...read more

    Our light should shine in such a manner that men will glorify God through witnessing our good works not to glorify men and have them in admiration but ever to point to Christ, to lift Him up to have Him glorified in us.

    Mat 5:14-16 KJV Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good ...read more
