Uncertainty Prompts Prayer
Read Genesis 32 Jacob was returning to his own country, when his messengers came back saying Esau is coming with four hundred men. Remembering what he had done to his brother, Jacob now feared for his life, his wife and his children. There's nothing like a little fear or uncertainty to get us praying. That's what Jacob did. Genesis 32:9-12 NJV says: Then Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father... (posted by Elizabeth 2 years 121 days ago.)

For He Himself is our peace
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to...

What’s the big deal about Christmas?
The word "Christmas" itself has a major clue in the first six letters. That's right Christ. Christmas is a celebration of the day God came to earth in the likeness of mere human. I know it's sometimes hard to see the real reason behind the hype. Our society has turned this tradition into a "shopaloholics" dream. To get the main point of Christmas though it is necessary to understand the truth about your self. You... (posted by Elizabeth 4 years 48 days ago.)

Made by God for His Glory
Did you ever have some say you were an accident? Well God says otherwise. You are not an accident. Your parents might not have planned you, but God did. He made you for a specific purpose.

The True Meaning of Christmas
What do you think the meaning is of Christmas? Is it about who gets the most presents? Is it about who can be the most giving? Is it about spending time with family? Is it about being nice to people?

This baby would grow up to save the world. Seems... (posted by Elizabeth 5 years 56 days ago.)
