Word For The Day: Protection From Sin
“This book (the Bible) will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this book” (John Bunyan). The words of Bunyan are still true today for every one of us; one of the main reasons we sin constantly and experience no victory over our temptations is because we spend very little time in…
Read MoreWord For The Day: Mirrors and Motives
Everything we do and say in this life has a motive behind it. Because of the Holy Spirit that dwells in those who know God, those motives, more often than not, are good motives, but sadly, we don’t always have the right motives in our hearts when we do things. Furthermore, at times, it is…
Read MoreWord For The Day: The Promises of God

Read MoreWord For The Day: Growing In Holiness
1 Peter 1:14-15 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct. When I was a kid, I described a holy person as someone who sat alone all day in meditation and prayer. Perhaps you…
Read MoreWord For The Day: Maximizing Fruitfulness
When we moved into our home, the yard looked like the Sahara Desert. There were a few massive Eucalyptus trees and lots of ugly, nothing. If you visit our house today, it looks like a miniature Garden of Eden. I am no gardener. Though I have no personal interest in gardening and caring for plants,…

I have been sharing with you thoughts from a helpful book by Jerry Bridges: Trusting God Even When Life Hurts. This week lets talk about how to grow through adversity.
