One of the greatest benefits of God‘s provision is that He rescues us from ourselves. I look in the mirror and see how much I've changed over the years. Gravity has taken a toll on my body. Every body part that can fall has fallen by at least four inches. Yet, one thing that has not changed is that 60 years ago Jesus saved me from my sins. In a way, Jesus saved me from myself. We have ...

My husband would not play chess with me because he said that I pulled down his game. Naturally, I thought I was a terrible chess player until I played with some other folks who were supposed to be pretty good at the game. When I was able to beat them, I realized that I wasn't such a bad player. It was simply that my husband was a much better chess player than most folks. I had known that h ...

This led to behavioral concerns that were no ...

Cain came to believe that the root of all his problems was his brother. He was convinced that the only way he could live a good life if he could get rid of his brother, Able. Cain did not understand that the way we treat other people ...

Our purpose is discipleship and evangelism of this important populations. As part of the teaching, I wanted to have our members make get-well cards for two people who are in the hospital.

I went to a pastor’s meeting this week and I was forced into taking a job I did not want. In reality, I made a choice to do the job I didn’t like. I was put in a position of either, disappointing good and loyal friends who support my ministry or taking a position I didn't want to take.

"Do not just a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes," we are told, and that is the message of this understated film about a gifted pitcher who is on the autism spectrum and the minor league team coach who learns as much from him as he teaches.
