THE BAD NEWS AND THE GOOD

We’ve all heard the same words, followed by an extremely difficult question. I’ve got good and bad news. Which do you want to hear first? Personally, I usually prefer to hear the bad news first, because then the good news can overshadow the bad. So here goes… For a good part of this summer, Pete

The Value of One

Most of us have sung the words to this old song: One is the loneliest number. And while one may be lonely, the Bible makes it clear that one is of incredible value to our Lord. In the Bible we read of one lost son, one lost coin, one lost pearl of great price and

THE HILL

“They gave us a spot on a hill.” There was more than a hint of disappointment in Bill’s voice. “Besides that, the ground is uneven,” one of the men added. “We’re concerned about those who have trouble walking. Someone could fall and get hurt.” I’d seen a whole lot more flat land than hills since

TRUSTING GOD IN DISAPPOINTMENT

Proverbs 16:9 The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.

GIVING THANKS IN ALL THINGS

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you 1Thessalonians 5:18 Just a few more days until we gather around the table with family and friends, surrounded by the aromas of roasted turkey, and fresh pumpkin pie.
