    Get Rid of Fear

    Have you been struggling with fears that take over your mind? Do you worry a lot about finances, family members, illness, job security, being lonely, people dying, or safety? The bad news is that if you live in fear, you are deceived.

    "Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too"

    A good New Year's Resolution is to spend more time praying and listening to God.  But we often say we have no time to do so!  Read Chris's interesting thoughts on this.          "Jesus Was Too Busy to Pray Too" by Chris Vasecka Read Luke 4:31-44 Are you busy? Don't answer. I know the answer is yes. We are all busy. We have work, and kids, and baseball, and swimming, and church, and hobbi...

I enjoy using Twitter to communicate and to keep up with what other people are doing and thinking. One of the fun parts of my day is to log onto Twitter and find that I have new followers. This excites me because I love to share little thoughts, scriptures, and links to the devotions on this blog. I look at it as a ministry that God has given me – one in which I can encourage others to get to know Jesus and to grow in their relationship with Him.

Jesus acquired followers quickly, and He didn’t More >

God does not call us to do inadequate things.  He calls us to do supernatural things that we are inadequate to do.  God does not look at a man based on His abilities.  He does not choose the most talented and skillful people to do His greatest work.

by David Roberts A while ago, I was involved in a course entitled “The Attributes of God.” We covered many of them without, I’m sure, even coming close to exhausting the subject.

We examined His love, His mercy, His creativity, His faithfulness, His presence, His wisdom, His goodness, and even His judgment.

In all this investigation of the nature of our Father in heaven, I started on my own quest to More >

Don’t Be A Real April Fool

by Karen Roberts Since I work with kids, I got to enjoy their excitement about today being April Fools Day. Some of them didn’t quite “get it” and would make a silly statement like, “There’s a dragon on your head,” and right away say “April Fool!” However most of them played some of the standard tricks like, “Hey, your shoe’s untied.” And then when the person looked down, called out, “April Fool!”

One of the teachers I work with put “March 32, 2010″ up on the board where she writes the date every day. The kids got a kick out of More >
