To Believe or Not Believe – That IS the Question… Actually, That IS the Choice…

We never know when or what challenges will come our way in this life… How do you react when your boat is being rocked?  We live in a fallen world that is full of challenges that we never see coming, we have to exercise our faith to determine how we are going to respond. This […]

Stop Trying to Figure it ALL Out Yourself – You are NOT in Control, You just think You Are…

One of the biggest mistakes in our thought process, is thinking that we are “large and in charge” of our lives.  The Bible gives us a perfect example of how untrue that is.  James 4:13-15 tells us: “Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city and […]
