Live Like Jesus

by Vanessa Hooker When you hear the word integrity, what do you think of? To me the word integrity always conjured up images of people who told the truth, stood by their word, and one you could trust. Basically, just good people. Believe it or not, the word integrity is not mentioned in the Bible very often. When I…

A Transformative Journey with Hope and Faith

by Debbie Ormonde In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it’s easy to get caught up in the never-ending pursuit of more success, possessions, and recognition. But what if I told you that one of the most powerful and life-changing experiences lies not in the quest for more but in the appreciation of what we already have?…

New Year’s Resolution

Jeremiah 29:11 – “For I know the plans I have for you”, declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” I recall years ago, before I became a committed born-again Christian, making my list of New Year’s resolutions in mid-December.

Is NOW YOUR Time?

One of my favorite verses in all of Scripture is Esther 4:14. It brings into living color, for me, one of God’s most marvelous and life-altering truths: That our God willingly intervenes in the events of our lives to bring about His divine plane and purpose.

What do we do when storms come?

I came upon this teaching from Dr. Charles Stanley and felt it was most definitely worth sharing. He is Pastor Emeritus of First Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia and has been their senior pastor for 51 years. He also has written many devotionals containing timeless teachings on both the challenges and the joys of being a disciple of Jesus….

Forward, March!!!

Philippians 1:13-14 – “but one thing I do; forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead; I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” If anyone had reason to be unable to let go of his past, it was Paul. He persecuted the church, had many…
