For whom does the farmer sow seed? For whom does the baker bake? For consumers, customers, or clients? Perhaps, first, for their own sake. Proverbs 9:12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone. There’s no doubt about it. Wisdom brings a lot of benefits.… Read More »
Only A Brother
Stress! Worry! Where does it come from? If all your needs are met, it can’t be from the burden of survival. It must be another burden altogether.

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. No room. That’s a common problem. No room in our calendars. No room in our budgets. No room in our minds. No room in… Read More »
