Life brings change. We age and our bodies break down, our refrigerator quits working or our car dies, people come and go… But do you know what never breaks down, wears out, or goes away? God’s love. He always always always loves us. But we have a responsibility and accountability…
HYMN DAY! How about another Fanny Crosby hymn? “Redeemed” is one that should flood your heart with joy. Redemption comes through accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior! If you’re His, redeemed by His blood, proclaim it! 1 Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the…
When our forefathers crafted the document that would guide the United States of America as a new country, they insisted on religious freedom. In their previous homeland, they’d either suffered or been witness to persecution for disagreeing with the Church of England’s teachings. They wanted the people of this new…
Thomas was allowed to see Jesus for himself. What a blessing, to view the risen Son of God with his own eyes! His proclamation of faith followed. But how do those of us who weren’t living during Jesus’ time on earth come to a place of believing? Maybe someone whose…

Two hundred fifty billion dollars. That’s how much money was spent on anti-aging products in 2016. People do whatever they can to hold onto youth. But the thing is, eventually, we all come to the end of our lives. Jesus’ friend Lazarus had come to the end of his life.…
