  • COLUMN: Never give up on your gift

    A man’s gift maketh room for him and bringeth him before great men. Proverbs 18:16

    It’s not what others believe about you that matters – opinions can be changed. It’s what you believe about yourself.

    Jesus never begged anybody to believe in him. He knew that integrity usually isn’t proven, it’s discerned. If you are struggling to find your place in life, maybe this story will help.

  • COLUMN: Thanksgiving changes your life

    With all my heart I believe we are a people and a nation that has truly been blessed by God. Of all those who give thanks, our names should be at the top of the list.

  • COLUMN: God's mercies begin anew each day

    Great is the faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day. Lamentations 3:23

    Jeremiah had almost given up hope but God reminded him that his mercies are new every morning. The Hebrew term for “mercies” can be translated “covenant love” or “steadfast love.” It is linked with compassion, truth and faithfulness.

  • COLUMN: Times change, God doesn't

    “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” Joshua 1:5
