It is not in the equation for me to write a sermon anytime soon. I leave that for the experts! But did you know your life of suffering can be a sermon to someone watching you? I’ve come to believe that our suffering has a purpose and is necessary. How in the world would we … More GOD USES SUFFERING AS OUR SERMON
At our home Church we are expanding soon. We are adding a new location and this will require more of everything from our Church body. But this more we are needing will not come from us. No, this more can only come from the SOURCE of everything in this world, our CREATOR GOD in Heaven. Our Pastor has asked … More MORE OF EVERYTHING
Ever notice how loud things are getting these days? People are aggressive and in each other faces yelling at one another. There seems to be an increasing need for everyone to be heard.

It’s useless these spiritual resumé’s we make. They won’t redeem us or get us into Heaven either. But oh, we do make them. No amount of quiet time, volunteering, Church attendance, or small group participation will get us near those pearly gates.
