HEALING THROUGH FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is paramount to the Christian life. I saw the reality of that truth when a dear friend, who had a progressive disease, became very ill and was hospitalized. Though I had been faithfully praying for her, I saw no change. I then asked God why her health was...

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil
Actions and words have power to create spiritual growth, or they have power for destruction. Therefore, the heart must be kept with all diligence and close attention paid to the three gateways to the heart: the ears, the eyes, and the mouth. Thus, we are...
“Don’t Worry”
I love the very upbeat and fun song, “Don’t Worry; Be Happy” by Bob Marley. It is full of joy, hope, and wisdom that encourages us that despite problems, we are to reframe the way we think. He says, “In every life we have some trouble; when you worry you make it...
