Dear Friends,
I have lived in Texas my whole life and I don’t think I have ever experienced as much snow in such a short period of time as yesterday.  This may sound silly because some of you live or have lived in places where it snows all the time, but snow like yesterday  [...]

I have met many less than joyful and even sometimes mean and judgemental Christians over the years.  They work religiously to be church people, study and recite their Bibles, and even make statements like “God is telling me”, or “God is telling me that you need to ….”, but they have really not experienced God.  [...]

In today’s devotional by Henry Blackaby he comments on Phil 4:8 and reminds us, according to God’s Word, we are we we think.
And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and [...]
