It's My Turn

The account of Christ’s birth never gets old. Bethlehem was chosen for the honor of bringing forth the King of Kings into the world.

Merry Christmas!

In this fable we can see the truth that the dreams of children more often than not don’t come true. That is, they are not fulfilled as we foresee them, but in life there is a plan and a Planner who works in all.

The most unhappy people in the world are those who pursue it the hardest. A “good time” and happiness are not at all the same things.

Sometimes it is so difficult to get back up after being knocked down that we are tempted to not even try it; but when we quit we guarantee that we will not succeed. So, hang in there and giving it the best you have. Don’t quit!

Greatness of soul is not measured by genius, fame or fortune, but by the kindness that is sown in the those along our path.

A single incident in the life of Abraham Lincoln offers an insight into how God often moves to lead and direct the lives of His children in Christ Jesus.

Each member of the twelve who most closely followed Christ had a specific role to play in the spread of the Gospel. Each was faithful to their call unto death. Disciples.

There is great power in showing appreciation to others. Everyone desires to be appreciated for the part they play so why should it be so difficult for us to express our appreciation to others?

What if everyone were to say, “I’m just one man”? Many of the changes that benefited the entire world have begun in the heart and mind of one solitary man.

God is concerned about each person personally. He surprises us at times with His nearness as He stoops to hear and help and save.

Laws and rules should protect in spirit and in practice.  God’s law is no different and is to be paramount in our daily life, lest we are destroyed by our own inattention.

The life of the believer is to be enjoyed. Laughter and valuing family is just a couple of the ways for us to help ourselves enjoy living our lives.

One must be convinced that we can have victory over life difficulties when we refuse to allow them to defeat us.

Fear will stop us from venturing out unless our focus remains on the mission at hand. Remember, we don’t have to return but we must go when and where Christ calls.

There comes a point in the life of each person when they will decide to follow Christ or not. How will you choose if yours comes today?

Christ occasionally got away from His followers to be alone with The Father to rest and refresh. In His pattern we can find our physical and mental health.

This world is a sinful place. Self-absorbed people are everywhere and in desperate need of The Light of the World. In other words, the very thing we are called to be.
