“The way you store up treasure in Heaven is by investing in getting people there.” ~Rick Warren
Mr. Warren’s quote is truly a great one, and one of my favorites. It helps us stop and think about what is really important in this life and what is really worth investing in. What is the one thing in this life that we can take with us to heaven? Our friends and family!
It’s interesting to stop for a second and put life in this world in perspective, compared to the life we will be spending in Heaven. I have heard some good illustrations of this where a speaker will roll out...

That's when it hit me. I don’t need to be a apostle, prophet, or pastor to build up the body of Christ. We are all called to serve Him. The Great Commission applies to all of us. So what is your ministry? How can you use your own God given talents to help others?

Although trust is just a five letter word, it carries a load of meaning. It has the ability to make or break a business, a marriage and even a person. Its power cannot be understated. Where trust exists between two business partners, a business can thrive. Where trust exists in a marriage, that marriage will prosper, joy will flourish, love will blossom.
It’s fundamental to our success. It’s fundamental to our very existence.
And yet many of us struggle with trust. Life has hurt us…people we have loved let us down or even betrayed us, wounding us. We guard oursel...

If you have spent much time in Church, you undoubtedly have heard and said the Lord’s prayer many times. Reading and memorizing God’s Word in the Bible is a very import part of growing as a Christian. Even more important then memorizing, is understanding God’s Word. This week I have been thinking about the Lord’s prayer, specifically Matthew 6:11 – “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”. I never took part in the Adkins diet craze because frankly, I like carbs. I like bread, and I’d like to have some daily. I’m pretty sure this is not the only t...

Titus 2; Isaiah 30:9-10
“But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things — that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, ...

Nine Inspiring Verses From Psalms
Our lives can be filled with uncertainty. And uncertainty can rob us of peace and joy, especially when we have been wronged. In fact, holding onto peace and security in our lives can be hard, unless we have an anchor. But an anchor is only as good as the chain that holds it fast to us. Fortunately, God has given us both a solid anchor and a chain. We hold to Jesus as our anchor and the promises in His Word are the chain that links us. It is hard to remember when we are wronged that God is on the throne. So many times it does not feel like there is much purp...

A friend of mine named Charles once began a search for peace of mind. But there were things in his life that kept him from finding it. Though deeply remorseful for his wrongdoings, he had never truly faced them head-on. He was a reliable man, a hard worker, but inside he was tortured. Behind the façade of his dedication to his wife, his children and the church, he carried a huge secret. He was having an affair…in fact; the relationship had been ongoing for several years.
He realized there was clearly no way he could make up for, or u...
