Building a Strong Foundation – Chuck SwindollThe pair of songs on the home, Psalms 127 and 128, begins with a look at the foundation. How does one establish a family legacy that will survive the inevitable crises, and then thrive for generations?Inception of the HomeUnless the LORD builds the house,They labor in vain who build it;Unless the LORD guards the city,The watchman keeps awake in vain.It ...

Today's Reading: 1 Kings 21; Luke 23:26-56Today's Thoughts: Trust and ObeyAnd all the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand." Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of...

Here is Sunday’s follow-upI will use the analogy of a runaway freight train to describe the direction our nation is heading spiritually and morally. It’s a freight train that none of us can stop. You might ask – “Is there anything we can do?”The answer is yes! We may not be able to stop it, but I believe we can slow it down a bit. So, how do we do that? Some obvious ways would be to vote and make ... Read More

Onlooker DelayBy Brent Rinehart“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

A Prayer to Wait and HopeBy Tiffany ThibaultI wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I hope. - Psalm 130:5Everything in life requires us to wait.

It includes the sound person or the person who handles the projection ... Read More

The truth of God applied to our circumstances brings a burst of enthusia... Read More
