I know it is easier said than done, especially when we are going through a tough and lonely season.     Maybe you are walking thro...  Read More

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.” (Revelation 1:17)  This verse describes a personal encounter that John had with Jesus. When John saw Jesus, he fell at His feet like dead.

Replacing God
by Curt Dodd on September 7th, 2023

(Ephesians 2:8-9)  One of the tragedies that we see in our nation every day is that we have forgotten the Lord and have replaced Him with our activity. Think about that for a moment. Many people want to do the activities of religion, rather than...  Read More

It’s All About Jesus
by Curt Dodd on September 3rd, 2022
For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. (Philippians 2:21) I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was 12 years old. The moment I turned from sin and placed my faith in Jesus Christ, I rode my bicycle home singing and praising God. Filled with joy, I made up words to a new song. (I wish I had written the words down because I thought they were pretty good at the time...  Read More
