The Lord Encourages Us
on May 8th, 2025
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:105)  When you need encouragement, where do you turn? Do you listen to someone? Do you call your parents or your best friend?

on May 5th, 2025
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:2When Jesus says to give to the needy, we might ask: Who are the needy? They may not look like it.

Often, we pass by people carrying ...  Read More
