Jazmin Wilson Last semester God did an awesome thing! I had applied for over 100 scholarships in high school and never received any, but in my second semester of university – I received 2 large scholarships to cover my tuition which I had not applied for or even knew existed!! Read more…
As clearly as we see the treachery of our society in this present moment, the bad in which we are inundated by in every aspect of life, daily we must not faint, and keep our eyes on Jesus for He is in control. (more…)
As you grow each day and learn new things, what will mould and shape your character? What will people say about you? Will you leave a Godly legacy for your children? Are you leaving a good example for others to follow? Does your life reflect your Godly heritage? (more…)
Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.”On a recent excursion to return recalled veggies at Costco, I found myself irritated and annoyed. I have begun to think that there is definitely a “customer culture” associated with their membership. I have to admit, that almost every experience I have had with customers in the store and particularly the parking lot, has been unpleasant; and only once was a cashier snippy.

An expression of pride and joy beamed across his face as he told me about spending everything he had to get the land and then building the house with his own two hands. As we talked I enjoyed the vigor and passion with which this man spoke of his land, he had such a love for it. He said that there was no price someone could offer him that he would be willing to give up his piece of paradise as he called it. He said that none could match the price that he paid for the land. This struck me as I began to think of the weight of his words. There is a spiritual parallel with this train of thought as we should not be willing to sell this precious truth that we hold so dear.
