Remember “All” With Fondness Have we forgotten to thank God for our brothers and sisters in Christ? I think far too often we take for granted those who sit next to us in church. We see them every Sunday; know their kids and where they work. But have we taken the time to thank them […]

Called To Be Saints A saint is not a football player, nor is he or she someone super holy having been canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. The Greek word for saint is “hagios,” which is where we get our English word for “holy.” So, a saint is someone who is holy. Therefore, we are […]

One of the Scriptures often quoted during Christmas bears this out when the angel of the Lord told Joseph […]

Confident in God’s Work The Apostle Paul makes a wonderful, magnificent, and significant statement of faith that God will complete what He has started in and through us. “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” (Philippians 1:6) […]
