The Absolute Truth!
Truth is always absolute! It does not change with the winds of societal notions nor does it change when humankind is uncomfortable with it. The Christian's challenge is to discover it! Such discovery can only be realized in the words of Scripture, that is...the Holy Bible. Now, I realize that the Bible is not always easily understood, however, it's truth will reveal itself when sincerely sought out.

Going Beyond Prayer
Her voice cracking, she looked up and said, "I never thought I would be like this!" Putting her arms around me as best she could, she gave a small squeeze, you could hear her sigh, then she composed herself. You could feel the hopelessness in her voice.
Do you know someone who is disabled and having a rough time dealing with it? Perhaps a friend, relative or someone at church. Do pray for them and then do something for them. Brighten their day...God will brighten yours!

What Will You Be Doing?
Less than 60 days to Pastor Appreciation Month. What is your congregation planning. What are YOU planning? Not to early to start!
What Do You Worship?
Some people worship the earth, others the intellect, still others the physical form. They consider themselves to be enlightened. I would would rather worship the One who created each of the forgoing. To do so brings an enlightenment the others cannot know or experience, save through the conversion of the soul. GDL
