What Is Your Favorite Part of Bible Class?
My favorite part of Bible class is getting to approach a new topic or concept each week. This weekly process equips me to be a better servant in God’s Kingdom (Ephesians 4:12-16). How can Bible class attendance, participation, and application create spiritual and numerical growth? Bible class creates a work ethic! I Corinthians 15:58 says …
Obedience With Pupose
Our earliest memories will reflect obedience from our parents giving us instructions, directions, or rules to follow. We became Christians because of our desire to submit to the authority of the Lord. When asked or directed to follow, we seem to always beg the question, “Why do I have to (fill in the blank)?” W …

The majority claims victory while those in opposition deal with defeat. In one month, we will be afforded the opportunity to exercise our right …
The 2 Day Work Week
We sometimes joke about “banker’s hours,” all the time off teachers have, and the easy day of “stay home moms.” Of course, we all know the stress bankers withstand, the mandates teachers must implement with little assistance from stakeholders, and the exhaustion full-time moms endure everyday! We are quick to take jabs at these very …
Am I Prepared For Death?
I sometimes say, “I enjoy growing older!” When I make this statement I do so because I have learned the older I get, the more wise I become (hopefully). Living longer affords us the opportunity to become more knowledgeable as our perspective of life changes. When we are young, we do not value time as …
