Some people suffer because of their own bad decisions. They need help to get out of their mess, but they don't need us pointing fingers and reminding them how they got there; there's a time and place for everything.

Our Greatest Testimony!
Not all Christians are called to be pastors or missionaries. But we are all called to be Christ's disciples, and our mission field begins when we rise each morning. We represent Jesus wherever we go throughout the day; whatever we do and say reflects God in us. When we treat others as He would treat … Continue reading Our Greatest Testimony!
Seeing the Good in Life!
It's often easier to see the bad things in life than the good things. This is because the devil encourages us to dwell on the bad so he'll get the glory for them. But when we focus on Jesus and what He's done and is doing, we see His love and mercy and what He's … Continue reading Seeing the Good in Life!

Nothing we say or do can change God's rule because He is … Continue reading Truth and Mercy

When we accept Jesus as our Savior and do something we shouldn't, He doesn't hold … Continue reading New Every Day!

They say first impressions are everything, but that's not true. Some people can be usually happy, kind, and giving, but then something overwhelming happens to them, and when we see them for the first time, they appear cold and unfriendly. Yet, despite their attitude, God wants us to treat them as He treats us—with love … Continue reading First Impressions
Loving Others
On the cross, Jesus poured out His grace for every sinner no matter who they were or what they'd done—no matter who we were or what we've done. He loved us when we didn't know Him, and He forgave us for our sins when we didn't deserve it. What joy it is to do His … Continue reading Loving Others
