Jeremiah 33:11the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those who bring thank offerings to the house of the LORD, saying, "Give thanks to the LORD Almighty, for the LORD is good; his love endures forever." For I will restore the fortunes of the land as...

These are days of great struggles; for me, for you, for all of us, no one is exempt. It's hard to stay focused on what really matters with so many distractions these days. If you are like me, you struggle with new distractions daily...

This is the week of full bellies, family, & national thankfulness. Seems a little odd to me that the only day we thank those around us for who they are in our lives in when the calendar says its the last Thursday of November...

Have you ever wondered why a spineless individual is called a chicken? Or why a person who does sneaky, underhanded, or just dumb things is called a turkey? As we close in on Thanksgiving these little euphemisms have got me wondering. So, I did a little research...

Yesterday at Friendship we talked about the End Times. Whenever that kind of topic is addressed there are all sorts of questions that get raised regarding timing, events, whose going to be where when...

Philippians 4:12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation. Isn't it amazing that Paul said those words...

Luke 6:47-48 I will show what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built...
