It’s Worthwhile
So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. (1 Corinthians 15:58 NLT) I’ve never known anyone who served God and didn’t think that it was worthwhile. The Corinthian Christians were aware of this fact.ContinueContinue reading “It’s Worthwhile”
A Message for You
The men with Saul stood there speechless. They had heard the voice, but they had not seen anyone. (Acts 9:7 CEV) When Saul, also known as Paul, retold his Damascus Road experience later on, he didn’t cease to mention that “The men who were traveling with me saw the light, but did not hear theContinueContinue reading “A Message for You”
Alone With God
But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.

A Time for Everything
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…He has made everything beautiful in its time.
