Colossians 4:17 …Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. I was fortunate to attend a life-changing event the other night: a retirement party for Richard Mallino. What an amazing tribute to a man who has invested year upon year into Christian education. Richard had a vision to train children not only academically but spiritually as well. When it came time to send my children off to school, I was keenly aware…

Thanks to Kim for this great reminder! “who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

Thanks to Kim for this Bible study. My Dad always taught me to “CHOOSE MY FRIENDS WISELY” because I’d become JUST LIKE THEM! Great wisdom! “A righteous man is cautious in friendship,…” Proverbs 12: 26a Having Christian friends (Brothers and Sisters in the Lord) is a vital part of our walk with God! We need to be very careful in the choosing of our friends! The wrong friends can lead us astray! They can be our downfall! The Lord warns…

Great Bible study from Kim! “Whoever loves money never has money enough;whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.This too is meaningless.” Ecclesiastes 5: 10 The above was written thousands of years ago, but is still relevant for us today!! We all wish we had more money for something!!! At the moment there are many that would like more money to make their house and car payment, put food on the table and/or pay for medical and car insurance!…
