Share

By Matthew Robert Payne Today's article is based on a little story Jesus told, you could call it a parable but was basically just an illustration.Matthew 7:24-27 (NKJV)(A) 24"Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. 26"But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell.

Finding Rest Under The Wings Of God

By David Seragih Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Jesus The Great Comforter! When Life is not fair!

Share

By Greg RyanWe see it all the time in people's lives some unwanted circumstance enters and life is turned upside down. A loss of a job, an unexpected bill, sickness you name it. I think we have all said at one time or another, "gosh, life just doesn't seem to be fair. It does not suppose to be this way; it wasn't what I had planned." We hear about it all the time in people's lives someone leaves a marriage, a friend disappoints you when you need them the most, or someone is not the person you expected them to be. Our expectations in others sometimes just never seems to be met. We experience it at times in our own lives when life and love come together and all we come up with...
