Marriage
Marriage is for those who love God and each other . We are all familiar with varying “statistics” regarding marriage & divorce rates. However, I love to talk with couples who have been married for 40, 50, and 60 plus years. I marvel at the longevity of their relationships. I have learned from listening to …
Living
Most days, “living” is a challenge. We have many responsibilities & challenges that compete with our relationship with God.

The world around us seems put us in survival mode …
Facing Today

We can face today because of what the Psalmist tells us in Psalm 9:9-10, “The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in …

Finding Time
We are blessed to have 168 hours in a week. We know during that span of time many jobs, chores, and hurdles require our attention. We know that Matthew 6:33 tells us to “seek first the kingdom of God.” We know the benefit of studying God’s word and how we are strengthened spiritually & emotionally …
Freedom
Grilling out, spending time with friends & family, and watching fireworks is how most of us will spend this weekend as we celebrate Independence Day as a nation. We know with independence comes freedom. Christians understand with freedom comes responsibilities. Like you, I have always counted myself as a proud American. I am appreciative of …
