Corporate Training—by Jesus.  

In this world where many are driven by ambition and keep striving for betterment, it is easy to become so goal-oriented and so focused on where we’re heading that we don’t give time to the things that are important now.  We can miss smelling the roses along the way.  We can miss the loving hugs of our little ones.  We…

Luke will not write of things about which Christians may safely differ from one another, and hesitate within themselves; but the things which are, and ought to be surely believed.

But what have you done with him? It seems like some people just want to have him around, sorta like that Elf on the Shelf character they display at Christmas. Set him on your mantel, ready to be…

When you do not know what to pray.  …

one touch.  

How Jesus acted when he was interrupted.  

   There is strength to be obtained of God. He can help. He can give grace and heavenly wisdom. If you ask in faith, you will receive; but you must watch unto prayer. watch, pray, work, should be your watchword.
