Thinking Right
God made us in such a way that we can think. He made us with the power of thought. There is a right way to think and there is a wrong way to think. No one can come to the right conclusion if he starts wrong. Just as you cannot reach your home unless you […]
Testing The Heart
Whenever you go to the doctor for an examination he most likely will check your heart. He will test your heart. He will listen and he will check your pulse. I want to talk to you about TESTING THE HEART in another way. We all have certain standards by which we measure or test the […]
Overcoming Trouble
John 11:1-16 Because we have limitations, we often face troubles. Our humanity is the source of much of our trouble.

But there are values more worthy than money. Those values have to do with peace in the heart and soul. An abundant life is possible even when there is little or […]
Reaching Conclusions
