Dear Family and Friends:In Second Corinthians, the Apostle Paul asks the question, “who is sufficient for these things?” A bit later, Paul then makes the realization, “our sufficiency is of God.” Further on in the book we read, “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect […]
Dear Family and Friends:During a month when the unsaved world celebrates love they don’t understand, God wants us to look at the greatest example of love the world has ever seen.

Dear Family and Friends: A verse that has impressed me in the past but has become more real in recent months is Psalm 61:2 “…when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Many things can cause being overwhelmed: fear, a loss, the news, a personal hardship… Our response […]
Dear Family and Friends: A verse I read the other day that encouraged me says, “…my heart trusted in him, and I am helped…” Psalm 28:7. It is interesting to consider how David found God to be his help after he learned to trust. During this time of needing God’s help, may we learn to […]
