Giving Is Trusting
Giving is one of the first challenges in our Christian walk, challenging our belief that we have been adopted into a new family and we now have a Father who wants to care for our every need. Maybe you have been taking care of yourself for many years; never had anyone you could truly rely [...]
Faithfulness Positions You For Blessings
"A faithful man will abound in blessings." -Proverbs 28:20 It is faithfulness that causes blessings to abound in our lives.

Healthy Meditation
Often we think of meditation in terms of "positive thinking", but the actual word in the Bible that is translated in English as "meditate" really means "to mutter". So meditation has to do more with our TALKING than it does with our THINKING; but if we are not thinking right, we won't be talking right. [...]
Two Things We Must Know
The two most important things someone can know are 1. What the Word says about God and 2. What He says and thinks about YOU. When we only take the opinions of others or try to base our faith upon what we may have been taught about God, rather than looking to the Word to [...]
