    Robert E. Lee was asked to comment on one of his worst critics. He said, "I believe he is a fine General." Confused that he would say something nice about an enemy, Lee said, "You asked me to tell you what I thought of him, not what he thought of me."

    Like Abraham, Keturah, Ishmael, Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob, each one of us today have good and bad traits; and the first thing we need to do to have effective and productive lives is to know these personal traits, then control them.

    Some may call it stereotyping, but we connect certain traits with a specific ethnic background don’t we? What do people say about Asians?? What do people say about Germans or Irish People?? What do people say about Italians and Spaniards?? Isn’t it interesting that we have a tendency to think ...read more

    God’s Purpose In Your Barrenness

    Contributed by Margaret Minnicks on Jun 3, 2013

     | 29,333 views

    God had an ultimate purpose for the barrenness of biblical women such as Hannah in the Old Testament and Elizabeth in the New Testament.

    Usually when we think about Hannah, no doubt we think about her prayer for a son. Today, let’s go deeper into the story and see that Hannah’s barrenness served a purpose. When we speak of women being barren in the Bible, it is usually in reference to a woman being childless. However, the word ...read more
