If you’re living life alone after 50, read this. In America, for the past few decades, many people have chosen careers and thrills over marriage. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with staying single.

Defending the faith is in the job description If you’re a Christian, defending the faith isn’t an option. It’s part of your job…your commission. And the world is getting increasingly hostile toward us. So, how do you stay optimistic and keep a good attitude when most people don’t even wanna hear what you have to say? My recommendation is to model yourself after Paul…who … The rest of the story…
Grace Changes Everything Even destruction into construction When you’re gracious to others, many times you’ll discover they appreciate it. Not always, but often. It’s just a simple matter of manners. Your grace to them can break down barriers of belief, doors of distrust, and walls of wondering. But there’s one thing your gracious attitude won’t do…change somebody forever. So, when I say grace changes … The rest of the story…
God will call you through His grace. Will you take the call? Just about everybody I know has a smartphone. Or two or three. We have a couple of them in our house. And they’re awesome tools. You can use them to check your email, keep up with friends and family on social media, take some snapshots, watch videos, listen to podcasts, and even … The rest of the story…
This Present Evil Age Won’t Last Forever Around 2000 years ago a very intelligent man wrote about grace. One of the things he said was “Grace to you and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory … The rest of the story…
Have you ever heard there’s only one gospel? And does it matter to you? I hope it matters to you because…it matters. Your life matters. It matters to God, to your loved ones, and even to me. That’s why I spend time sharing THE Truth found in Bible. Yeah, I said “the” in capital letters, and I said it that way with good reason. Because … The rest of the story…
It’s always important to love your neighbor as yourself… And it’s even more important to know how. Love doesn’t mean you have to be a doormat, always turn the other cheek, or simply keep your mouth shut. In fact, most of the time, if you’re doing those things, you might not love your neighbor as yourself as much as you think you do. The … The rest of the story…
The life which I now live is better than the one I lived before Think about this for a bit…no one is the same person from birth to death. A tiny baby is the most innocent of all God’s creations. An old man is the least innocent. What happens between is a result of choices. Thousands and thousands of choices. Can you say you’ve … The rest of the story…
If you truly have love in you – serve one another Healthy life. Peaceful life. Wealthy life. Joyful life. Do any (or all) of those describe you in your life? If not, my first question is “Do you love others as you love yourself?” If you answered “yes”, then the next question is…do you serve one another? After all, it’s only in serving one … The rest of the story…
Have you gone from burdens to blessings lately? Do you ever feel like Ol’ Man River? Just keep rollin’ along bearing the burdens of the world and unable to do anything about ’em? You got troubles? Big troubles? Well, here’s a news flash…so does everybody else. There’s not a person on the planet who isn’t dealing with serious problems. But there’s a way to … The rest of the story…
Sometimes it can seem like doing good is a waste of time, but… It’s a matter of perspective. When it comes to results, if you can only focus on getting them right here and now, you might experience disappointment on a regular basis. Doing good things for others doesn’t always appear to produce results. But, as they say, looks can be deceiving. Depending on … The rest of the story…
Tithing ten percent is one of the mosaic laws Could you live on 40% of what you make now? What about 30%? How about 20%? OK, let’s talk it all the way…could you live on 0%? I’m guessing you dropped out at the first question…unless you’re rich. And if you’re rich, you could possibly hang in there all the way to the 0% question. … The rest of the story…
Would you consider yourself to be popular? Do you believe you have lots of friends? Does it seem like most everybody likes you? If you answered yes to all three questions, you might need to reconsider your worldview. It may be that you’ve aimed your power of persuasion in the wrong direction. Of course, that sounds counter-intuitive, but it depends on your worldview. If … The rest of the story…

You Might Not Like It
I know about a dazzling opportunity. It’s available to anyone who’s interested. Seating is not limited. Admission is free. But there is a time limit. The venue is matchless. Millions of others have already taken advantage, and it’s easy to talk to someone who’ll share how this opportunity will change your life. Yep, it’s a one-of-a-kind offer, but I already know you might not … The rest of the story…
Living In The Household of Faith
Have you ever felt like throwing your hands up in frustration at the lack of response (or even downright obstinance) from unbelievers? I certainly have, and if I only depended on myself, I’m certain I would have retreated into my own personal Christianity long ago.
