Daily encouragement for Christians
How are you reacting to the current scare of the world? Are you relaxing and putting everything in the trustworthy hands of Father? Perhaps you are one of the panic buyers. If so, I need one of you to explain to me why so much toilet paper. Who would have ever predicted a shortage in […]
Do you recognize the Sabbath as a day set aside for Father? No matter if you celebrate it from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown or on Sunday, the command is the same. The fourth commandment states: “Remember the day, Shabbat, to set it apart for God.” (Exodus 20:8) It seems to me that most people, […]
Most people are tired of hearing about covid 19 and I am one of them. But we can’t just bury our heads and ignore it, well, I suppose some do but if you aren’t a part of the solution you are a part of the problem. I had an appointment with my primary doctor, a […]
Are you an online game player? There are an awful lot of us out there. Don’t misunderstand me, I don’t own a game system, I’m no professional gamer. I’m more of a Words With Friends type. But, I have been doing some surveys for pennies and one of them offered a five dollar payment to […]

There is a local attorney’s commercial that disturbs me every time I hear it. It begins by announcing: “Here in (fill in your town) we see things a bit differently. If you’ve […]
“Pray regularly.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17) What does prayer mean to you? Some think to pray is to list your desires to God and thank him for what he’s done.

If you are reading this you have successfully made the transition from 2019 to 2020. It’s a new decade, a new year, a new day. Somehow it has the power to give us new hope for the future. Why? It’s just another day in time. I have never been one of those many people who […]
