Getting by Losing For the world in general, the Christmas season is the most giving time of the year.

Humanly speaking, some things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible, especially with the words “but God.” But God But God! What an amazing set of words! Every time I read a verse that says “but God,” it is fantastically good news that follows.

Love is stronger than medicines in some cases, and it is a life-extender for those who give it and those who receive it Fight for Life There are thoughts of eternity in the human heart. The fight against time, via supplements and health and beauty aids is strong evidence that we desire to a live long life, however, the most overlooked and underestimated life-extender is right under our noses, literally.

Finding God’s Will To Do God’s Will

Last updated on: December 14, 2017 at 1:33 pm   By Jack Wellman

God’s will is not all hidden from us. God reveals His will in His Word so we can both find the will of God and act on the will of God. God’s Will and Ours – Matthew 6 When we pray, we must pray for God’s will above our own since His will is perfect and our will is less than perfect. He sees the future; we see only now and what is past. If left to ourselves, we’d do... Read more

Last updated on: December 5, 2017 at 12:38 pm   By Jack Wellman

Knowledge is good, but without having the wisdom to apply that knowledge in love, we can be nothing more than a walking Bible dictionary. Grow in Grace and Knowledge It’s not too hard to find someone who is a Mr.-know-it-all. That’s a hard person to be around, isn’t it? Who wants to talk to someone who frequently says, “I knew that,” instead of, “That’s interesting?” The Apostle Peter teaches us that we are to grow in the grace and knowledge... Read more
