Teamwork was God’s idea. He demonstrates teamwork for us in the way the Father, Son and Holy Spirit work together as one, yet each has his own role. Jesus could have accomplished His work on earth on His own, but he chose to work with a team to fulfill the task. He developed His disciples [...]
We all experience change and transition in life. God calls it “seasons.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Sometimes life is exciting, dynamic, and we feel on top of the world. At other times we just want to go away and escape our situation. King [...]
We have entered another year. The old is gone and the new has come. And regardless of what happened last year, remember the words of C.S. Lewis, “ You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” So much of life depends on the decisions we make. Helen Keller [...]

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 [...]
