I am thrilled to know and experience the grace of God. It’s absolutely life changing once you know what God has done for us. One of the great tragedies of the church in our day is the fear so many have of grace. They fear what might happen if people really knew they were completely […]
Faith is not a storm cellar to which men and women can flee for refuge from the storms of life. It is, instead, an inner force that gives them the strength to face those storms and their consequences with serenity of spirit. -Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
God is looking for imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-moment dependence on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies, fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with ‘surviving’ and have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life. – Charles […]
It’s interesting living in the culture we do. In this post-modern culture, or whatever it’s called now, there is a wholesale abandonment of belief in God. At university level the statistics say that 70% or more of Christian kids will abandon their faith and become agnostic or atheist. The culture at large is moving away […]
My soft-hearted receptionist came back to tell me there was a lady in real need in our reception area and she didn’t want to just send her away empty handed. I met with Nancy. It’s hard to know how best to help at times. Is this person just begging for a living or is this […]

One of the most amazing chapters in the bible is Daniel 11. It stands out because of its content. In this chapter of 45 verses you will find one little word repeated more than 116 times! Here’s how the chapter is set up- The angel Gabriel appears to Daniel near the end of the book […]
“In everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” -1 Thes. 5:18 Today is Thanksgiving day in our country. It started with a group of men and women pausing to thank God for his care and provision. It continues as a tradition that has lost much of its initial purpose. […]
Helping you to stand up courageously! I hesitated as I saw the book title sitting in my email. Courageous Living: Dare To Take A Stand; A book that is a call for men to stand up, fight back for their faith and get involved with their families written by Michael Catt, Pastor of Sherwood Baptist in Albany Georgia.

It’s clear, as you read the bible, that Godly leadership evokes a following. If a man, one man, will pursue God then others will gather and follow a man hungry after God. As I read further into the life of Hezekiah it’s obvious that after many years of poor leadership his walk with God was […]
