Goodies from Heaven

Words That Set Your Life on Fire
James 3:4–6 (NLT) “And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of…

Seeing Everything with Perfect Clarity
Life doesn’t wait to ask questions. Sometimes, the minute we open our eyes, we’re faced with choices that feel heavy. Should I call out sick today? Should I say yes to this date? Is this job really for me? We try to be discerning. We want to believe we’re hearing from God. But let’s be…

A Dream Waiting to Happen
Time is passing with increased momentum, and for many single followers of Christ, fear begins to settle in. They wonder if anything will ever change.
