"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." -2 Timothy 2:15

    Hitting the Wall

    I once heard a trainer say that the human body is not designed to run for 26 miles
    continuously. But Marathon runners do just that! However, at about 20 miles
    something serious happens – there is a sudden and severe loss of energy,
    primarily due to the depletion of glycogen in the muscles. Runners call this
    “hitting the wall.” Your body tells you that you cannot go on. It then becomes
    very hard to stay motivated enough to continue to the finish line.
    Something similar to that can happen to us spiritually. In fact the Bible records
    how…

    Trump

    Domino and card games have been enjoyed for centuries, and among the most
    strategic and engaging are trump games. Trump games are popular because they
    give players the chance to control the game in their favor. A designated "trump"
    suit has the power to overrule others, ensuring that whoever plays it gains a
    decisive advantage. Usually, the highest card or domino in the suit wins the trick,
    but the trump plays by its own rules. It interrupts normal play to change the
    game to win the trick. The idea of having a trump can be exhilarating! Taking
    control of the…

    SHOULD I CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS? 
    David A. Padfield

     

    Christmas is just around the corner and already we can see signs telling us to "Put Christ back into Christmas." People everywhere are saying Christmas is too commercialized and that we are overlooking the real meaning of Christmas. Some preachers are asking, "What are you going to give Christ on his birthday?" Most churches are organizing Christmas plays, cantatas and programs.

    Since Christmas is recognized by most people as a religious Holy Day, it would be…

    WHO PUT CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS?
    (Larry Ray Hafley)

     

    During December we are reminded to, “Keep Christ In Christmas.” Who, though, put him there in the first place?

    Did God? We know “the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world” (1 Jn. 4:14). Jesus said that he neither acted or spoke of his own will, but that he said and did only those things authorized by his Father (Jn. 6:38; 12:49). Is the celebration of Jesus’ birth a thing…
