6 reasons for giving more in 2009

This is a wonderful post on why we should give.  In tough economic times like these, we have a tendancy to hoard and not share what we have been blessed with.  No matter how big or how small, God blesses when we have the right attitude and motive (2 Cor. 9:7)- when we give from our [...]

The Last Seven Sayings of Jesus

(1) Matthew 27:46 tells us that about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Here, Jesus was expressing His feelings of abandonment as God placed the sins of the world on Him – and because of that, [...]
