Rest and a Quiet Life
In my Tuesday bible study, we are reading through Paul's epistles. It struck me that he said in each of the last three letters we read, to lead a quiet life. I don't think it means to live a silent life. I think it means to live a life in moderation. I think Paul was… Continue reading Rest and a Quiet Life

Religions today still worship idols. Some Christians even worship idols. They put other things above God. Money. Power. Prestige. There are so… Continue reading What Is Better Than Money, Power and Prestige?

We have not always had perfect relationships.… Continue reading Bind Yourself to the Lord

Peace that Money Cannot Buy
Yesterday was Christmas, when Christians around the world celebrated the birth of Jesus. We attended a church service on Christmas Eve, and the pastor said that few millennials know the true meaning of Christmas. It seems that people believe Christmas is a cultural holiday celebrated by putting up tress and gathering with family. I grew… Continue reading Peace that Money Cannot Buy
