Turn Your Burden into a Bridge Burdens are a part of life. We all have our burdens to bear, no matter whether we’re rich or poor, young or old, the color of our skin, or whether we are saved or lost. Sorrow and trouble come alike to everyone, because burdens respect no one. Life places […]

Sin Has Its Consequences It’s amazing how people think that they can partake liberally of alcoholic beverages or drugs and not suffer the consequences. They sit at a bar downing a few brews and then get behind the wheel thinking they’re okay, but then get pulled over by the police and ticketed with a DUI, […]

Boasting Okay It is okay to boast when the boast is in the Lord and not in ourselves or in what we may have or what we have accomplished. “Some boast in chariots and some in horses, but we will boast in the name of the LORD, our God.” (Psalm 20:7) Most people boast so […]

Building Up The House of God King David’s desire was to build a house for God. But because of war and the blood he shed, God withheld his desire and gave it to his son, Solomon. Knowing Solomon was young and inexperienced, 1 Chronicles 22:5, David went about collecting everything Solomon would need, from timbers […]
