April 22, 2025 — Can You Hear The Clock Ticking?
Those who risk their all on the Lord may find they lose everything only to gain everything. It was a monumental act of faith on Nehemiah’s part to ask if he might leave his post to rebuild Jerusalem’s city walls. And what sacrifice to give up the palace for the hardships that lay ahead! In […]

The World of Make-Believe
At a school visit the week after 9/11, an explanation was given to the students that made them think about the bigger issue. It also helps us think clearly about the turmoil in the world around us today. Don’t despair! […]
