A Reason to Sing
When problems weigh us down, we're often blinded to what's going on around us, and we don't see the goodness of God anywhere. Jesus said that we'd have problems in this world and that we must give them to Him and receive His peace. When we commit them to God, the devil flees, and our … Continue reading A Reason to Sing

Don’t Be Afraid—Be Strong!
Billy Graham was noted as saying, "If God brings us to it, He'll bring us through it."

We should see it as good in our sight (Psalm 118:23) … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid—Be Strong!

Live for Today
Many of us look beyond today and focus on a day up ahead. We miss the reality that TODAY is the ONLY day we have because there is NO promise for a tomorrow—not in this world, anyway.

It’s Who We Know
We've all heard the expression, "It's not what you know; it's who you know," and this is so true for Christians. We hear daily reports of world situations that discourage many people and fill them with anxiety and fear.
