    I must earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

    Last week we said all of us need recovery because none of us is perfect. The root cause is our sin nature, our desire to play God, to be in control rather than give God control. So we've each been hurt, we've each hurt others, and we've each hurt ourselves. And we find ourselves constantly dealing ...read more

    Do you ever get down, depressed or discouraged? Being depressed or discouraged doesn't make you a bad or a weak Christian. When you're discouraged and tempted to quit or give up four steps you need to to take are: pray, trust; commit, and work.

    Life was pretty good in Sardis. The lack of opposition may have given them a sense of security and lulled them to sleep. Since the world was relatively nice to them, they may have grown comfortable in their relationship with the pagan world around them.

    Waking Up Is Hard to Do Revelation 3:1-6 "To the angel of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to ...read more

    We stand up and defend the freedom of speech and of religion, and know that there are thousands of people and hundreds of organizations that would like to put clamps on those very freedoms.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2025 Let’s honestly look at St. Matthew’s story in today’s Gospel, and the lesson that Jesus is trying to teach us disciples. Admit it.

    What You Get When You Give

    What happens when you give of your time, talents, and money? Many ministries teach that you will receive a material blessing for material giving. I think they completely miss the mark. Paul, in this chapter, sets out a wonderful pattern of the true result

    Last time we talked about the motivation behind giving, and the process for how to give: it comes from the word “generosity” which means simplicity, sincerity, and singleness. We give who we are, and what we have, back to the Lord who owns it all, for Him to take our simple gifts given ...read more
