What's Your Focus

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2002

The storms of life distract us from focusing on God – learn what Jesus focused on in times of trouble.

Most of the time in our lives we focus on what to do if things go wrong. We come up with contingency plans in case we are late for a flight. We sometimes even have redundant systems in place in case of failure. In fact, on the space shuttle, most of its systems are backed up by quadruple ...read more

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 21, 2002
