John 3:16 “16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Does it seem like life always throws you a curve ball? It always seems like things are going along just fine and then we get hit with a trial. Life is full of trials and once we get comfortable… “Look out”. God uses trials to teach us. Once the trial hits it seems like we always need to be reminded of God’s love. If yo

There is nothing that can separate us from God’s love. We are all in different stages of life. The Lord loves and watches out for us no matter where we are in our life’s journey. I have seen the Lord watch over me throughout my life. I have also seen the Lord watch over my parents on the last day of their lives here on earth. One of God’s promises that He gives us is that He will always be with us. Once we accept the Lord Jesus as our Lord and Savior there is nothing that wi

Jesus instructs us to love one another. A great way to show fellow Christians God’s Love is for us to be encouragers. There have been times in our travels when we have been away from the daily news for a few days. When we get a chance to catch up with what is going on in our world it can be disappointing and a little depressing. However, there are many things going on in peoples’ lives that can cause people to fret. Health, loneliness, conflict, loss of a loved one, employm

As a young boy I lived on a farm in Amo, Indiana. My dad was harvesting corn one day and I was begging him to let me drive the tractor. I had to be probably in the 4th or 5th grade. So, my dad was on the combine, and he let me drive the tractor and wagon full of corn from the corn field to a corn crib where my job was let the corn out of the wagon onto a corn elevator “conveyor” that would take the corn up into the corn crib. Don’t ask how I did it, but I got the corn elevato

John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life and have it abundantly. Seek first the salvation that is available through Jesus Christ then claim the joy, peace, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His sheep. God loved us so much that He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. He also wants us to experience a life that is full of peace, and life that is abundant and eternal. God has promised that He

Psalm 105:4 4 Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. God’s love never changes, and He has always been there in our lives. There have been times when God has felt distant, but if we are honest, it was not because He wasn’t there, but times when we turned away from Him. God has promised to give us strength to see us through any challenge. He will give us the courage to face any trial and the wisdom to live the life that is pleasing to Him. Isaiah 41:10 10 So d

Let’s remember our Service men and women who are away from home this Thanksgiving. A big part of celebrating Thanksgiving is being with family as we celebrate the Holidays. I spent a few Thanksgivings away from home when I was in the Navy. I remember one time being away from home on Thanksgiving when I was stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) sailing out on the Pacific Ocean. I wasn’t alone as I had over 5000 shipmates all of them were away from their families. The meal

Two thousand years ago, Jesus showed us how we should respond to the kind of hate-driven barriers that oppress people who are different. In John 4:7 it starts the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan women. Who were the Samaritans? The Samaritans were a despised and powerless minority of no perceived value to the Jews in those days. John 4 vs 9 it says, “ Jews do not associate with Samaritans”. Jesus chose a Samaritan woman, and she wasn’t just any women. She had a history of
