How Do You Know If You Matter To You?
There is a scripture that speaks to the idea that we are to love one another in the same manner and degree that we love ourselves. The question that comes to mind for me is how do we know that we love ourselves? When we say that we love ourselves, some might say that this […]
Reasons You Should Not Run On Empty
Have you ever driven your car somewhere on empty? I know I have. It’s not something that I particularly relish doing at any time, but it has happened. I’m the kind of driver that tends to lean towards the side of keeping the tank full as much as possible. My wife, when we met was […]
When You Think No One Else Is Watching

When You Minister Out of a Pure Heart
