Another year has swiftly flown; Its days will not again be known. They’re spent and gone beyond recall. Through it, was Jesus Lord of all? Another year is ushered in; It’s free from spot and stain of sin. God hands it,…
One day in late spring Jack was wondering what to do with his old lawn mower after purchasing a new one. His wife suggested that since it still worked well, they should give it to their poor neighbor Tim. “Yes,” Jack…
God designed us to serve, yet we have a difficult time getting the message that this is God’s call for our lives. Jesus took the time to school His disciples on servanthood. Let’s go to school with them and learn some…
“Jesus said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.” Mark 10:14, 16 It was late…
