For many years of my life, I did not see anyone hurting because I was so hurt. I thought I was the only one going through rough times and honestly, I did not care about the problems or challenges of other people. Was I a Christian? Yes, but a very carnal, self absorbed one at [...]
Did you know God is looking for available people to accomplish His kingdom purposes on earth? Sadly, many miss out because instead of being a channel through which God can pour out His resources or leverage their influence to help others, life's challenges have a way of causing them to become a dam or stopped [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I was putting out direction signs for my church's Sunday morning service. It had just snowed the night before, and I was driving to put the signs in the correct locations when God dropped something into my heart.
