God’s Not Done With You It seems like we become tired a lot quicker the older we get. As grey starts popping up and out of our heads, we wonder, “Is God finished with me? Is it time for someone else, someone younger to come and pick up the mantle of ministry?” The answer, “No.” […]
It’s Never Time to Quit A man was shoveling snow from his driveway when two boys carrying snow shovels approached him. One asked, “Can we shovel your snow mister?

God’s Plumb Line for Life God’s ultimate desire is for His people to have a loving relationship with Him. This is evident in the Great Commandment to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s what God created us to have from the very beginning.
