Sherry Ivy: The importance of giving God thanks
As we enter into this Thanksgiving season, let us remember the importance of giving God thanks, not just on Thanksgiving Day but every day.
Jabe Nicholson: Leaves that never fall
William Cullen Bryant called autumn “the year’s last, loveliest smile.” When we moved south, we left the fall’s riot of colors where those leaves make one final spectacular demonstration of God’s glory.
Sherry Ivy: When you get stressed out, do these things
All of us get stressed out at times but when we do, we need to do these things:
Jabe Nicholson: Will anything be the same?
“Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” These words were written by French author Alphonse Karr in 1849. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” If he was living in the 21st century, I doubt he’d say such a thing.
Sherry Ivy: When everything else fails, try Jesus
Jesus will never fail us no matter what we encounter in life because He can do all things but fail. Therefore, let us trust Him to do it and stop trying to do it ourselves.
Sherry Ivy: ‘Tomorrow is not promised to anyone’
God has determined the number of days and hours we will live on earth. Therefore, we can’t go past the days He has set for us.
Jabe Nicholson: Pay attention!
I was a daydreamer. Watching a construction crew outside the school window, I could build a castle in the sky in the time it took them to lay a few bricks.
Sherry Ivy: What to do when you reach your breaking point
All of us at some point in life will reach a breaking point but when we do we need to do these things:
Jabe Nicholson: Is the atheist right?
I don’t doubt that America could use some economic, political, and societal changes for the better. What that would look like I’ll leave to others. But when Jesus was on the planet He rarely spoke about those large-scale changes.
Sherry Ivy: ‘There’s power in the words you speak’
The words we speak have power and the way we use them can make a big difference in our lives and in the lives of others. That’s why it’s so important that we choose our words wisely.
Jabe Nicholson: Pray for Mideast peace
When I was asked to write for this paper some years ago, I expressed my belief that “every article should have what they used to call a ‘point.’”
Sherry Ivy: God is still in control
We live in a world that seems in many ways to be out of control. However, we can rest assured that no matter what’s happening in the world today God Is Still In Control.
Jabe Nicholson: Just one thing
I was in prison this past week, waiting for a graduation ceremony to begin. Chatting with one of the men in that program, I asked if he could share something he’d learned. Moving his hands around his head in a mixing motion, he said it was all up there, but he couldn’t grab it.
Sherry Ivy: Jesus is all you need
All of us will face some kind of storm in our lives. It might be a hardship of some kind, a medical issue, a legal issue, the death of a loved one, or something else. At times we may feel like we’re hit with one after another but in the midst of it all, Jesus is all you need.
Jabe Nicholson: I must tell you
Imagine you hear the doorbell ring one day. To your utter shock, an emissary of some wealthy prince is at the door.
Sherry Ivy: There’s power in binding and loosening
God has given every Believer power to bind and loosen.
Jabe Nicholson: The ultimate bullet points
There’s no question there are many questions about the events that unfolded in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
Sherry Ivy: Hold on, your change is coming
Some of us have been going through some difficult trials for a while now and we feel like there’s no end in sight. In times like these, we have to keep our trust in God and hold on, your change is coming.
