Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!

At my weekly Bible study group, we were discussing the famous words: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) And then Paul the Apostle added “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:6,9) Those words pack a punch.

How Do You Fight Your Battles?

How Do You Fight Your Battles? Do you bear any bruises and scars from battles that you may have been in lately– maybe in the political arena or even in your home or workplace? On Sunday, I encountered a very well trained cashier at a store who was courteous, friendly, and even gave me a…
