The Mantle of A Godly Grandfather
What is the impact of your Father’s Day legacy? Will your child, or grandchild, be willing to pick up the mantle of God that you leave?

As we grow older we may begin to feel useless, unneeded and alone. God gently takes our hand and gives us His full attention.

Thought For Today: “God’s Presence Always Present”
Thought For Today: “God’s Presence Always Present” No matter what happens in life, our Heavenly Father not only knows, but He is there with us all the way. In Matthew 10:29 Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the...
The Amazing Grace of God
The Amazing Grace of God Genesis 25:19-34 Esau was a fool. He chose his own way rather than the Lord’s way. Jacob was a ‘heel’! ‘Born with his hand holding on to Esau’s heel…, he was named Jacob (Heel)’ (26). A crafty twister, a manipulating cheat, there was nothing...
