We have heard the term maybe before, and like many, we just nod our head and pretend that we know what the word means. Let us not be confused or be deceivers of our own walk. Here are some of the facts and a sample. Septuagint – What is It? Septuagint (sometimes abbreviated LXX) is…
Jesus did not come and die on the cross and intend for us to accept eternal salvation with Him and then sit and hide on the porch, working to not sin any more. He came and died that we would be forgiven and grant us the authority of heaven by being adopted. He forgave us…
We have learned so much about the Israelites in the past month or so. There are times we are astonished at the things they go through. Then we are in awe of the things they witnessed. Things such as the parting of the Red Sea, the victorious battles, the cloud and fire directional system for…
Whether you know it or not, you do make a difference. You make an impact. There are people around you that you influence, even when you don’t try. There are people in your life that watch you. There are people that are not sure about you or your actions. In the end, when it is…

We can get so busy with church, volunteering, fund-raisers and seem to glaze over the initial purpose of Jesus’ visit. Remember, God could have come and…
Alright, if you have been around any church for a duration of time, you inevitably have heard the wonderful saying of “iron sharpens iron”. This is generally used in a relation to community, or group setting. Such great encouragement. The idea of people coming together to help each other. That we are better together than…
Hanging out with some friends tonight and we watched a great movie called The Legend of Bagger Vance. It is a movie based around a golf game, but it is so much more than a sports movie. If you are not familiar with golf, there are players and there are caddies. The players are the…
One of the crazy challenges we got from Paul in the opening chapter of Colossians was monumental. Do you know that out of the 13 books Paul wrote for the new testament, he never once thanked a single person. I checked, I can’t find it. If you find it, send it to me. But Paul…
