The Hope That Is in You
Sometimes life can seem a bit like a treasure hunt with clues. You begin the hunt by crossing the path of someone you were destined to meet. Usually, this is not the partnership connection you were praying to make. Instead, it is an opportunity for you to sow into someone’s life. Once you’ve done this,…

What Do You Hunger For?

You Can’t Afford to Keep Bad Company
1 Corinthians 15:33(NLT) Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for “bad company corrupts good character.” Some years ago, I made a conscious decision to distance myself from someone that I originally thought was a good friend.

Be Still and Be Quiet
“Be still and be quiet!” When I was a child, I can’t count the number of times I heard this spoken by my mother or a teacher. Children are full of energy, and it is very challenging for them to be still, quiet, and not move around at all. They love movement, as well they…

A Confident Spouse

Human Pride Will Be Brought Down
