Sabbath

When you approach the tabernacle, remember that He has been waiting for you for twenty centuries. St. Josemaria Escriva (1902 - 1975)

Biblical Truth Or Woke Truth?

Christian Grit

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are...

The Troubles Of Tomorrow

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:33-34 NKJV God's plan and...

The Gift Of Today

Time For Prayer

"Beware the barrenness of a busy life." Corrie ten Boom (1892 - 1983) Are you just too busy to pray? Maybe the better question is are you too busy not to pray? No matter how busy we might be, it is vital we are intentional in guarding our time with God. This includes...
