Another question that is often asked is does God love me? The short answer is yes. What makes you think He does not? There are many reasons we think God does not love us such as: I do not get what I want I go through trials and tribulations I am in pain or ill […]

Why God 2?
Another question that is typically asked is why do good things happen to bad people? What are these good things that you think God blesses them with? Money Fame Success Power Possessions Are the above things really good? What comes with most of those things that I mentioned? Stress Distrust of friends Constantly looking over […]
Why God?
This will probably result in many posts. The message this past Sunday was about God and His love. However, lets face it there are many who do not believe that God loves them or anyone for that matter. This is because they have been lied too about what God should be like. One of the […]
Selflessness
I heard an interesting story on the radio today. A little girl started a cupcake stand to raise money for her families vacation.

Shining Light
My daughter preached this weekend about being a light. She equated it to fire, not in a bad way, but in a way it is needed. Fire was the earliest form of light that was used for protection, cooking, and lighting things up at night. To make a fire, there are three things that are […]

I was reading a devotional about love and one of the things is that love is kind. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 to find out what love is. One of the things is that love is kind. What does this mean? To truly understand what it means, you have to go back to ancient Greek. The […]
