Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me 6 hours to chop down a tree and I’ll spend the first 4 sharpening the axe.” He was a wise man. God says, “If the ax is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success” (Ecc. 10:10). Let’s focus [...]
Harry Ironside once said, "We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction." Paul the apostle exhorted us to give thanks in all things. In America, our forefathers set apart a special day for giving thanks, making Thanksgiving a national holiday. But let us be careful to take [...]
C. S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.” I could not agree more. Jesus, the light of the world, came that we may have life (John 10:10). Let’s expect His light and life [...]
“God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself (Dietrich Bonhoeffer).” Great advice and so true! Regardless of what we are facing today, we can trust Him! Let’s take Mother Teresa’s advice and “Be faithful in small things because it [...]

Have you felt discouraged lately? You are not alone. Chuck Swindoll says, “We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.” Let’s look discouragement in the face today and refuse it! And then press on, expecting our God to do amazing things through us. Winston Churchill once said, "Continuous [...]
D L Moody once said, “A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.” Very true.
Faith is like Wi-Fi. It is invisible, but it has the power to connect us to what we need. And without it, we cannot please God. (Heb. 11:6)
D L Moody once said; “There are three kinds of faith in Christ: Struggling faith, like a man in deep water desperately swimming. Clinging faith, like a man hanging to the side of a boat. Resting faith, like a man safely within the boat (and able to reach out with a hand to help someone else get in).” Let’s receive [...]
Aren’t you glad everyone is not wired like you? If we were all alike, the world would be boring. God keeps our world in balance by giving each of us natural talents and pleasure in doing what needs to be done for the good of everyone around us. Many types of gifts and abilities are [...]
