Does Jesus care?

From the mouth of babes

It was a blistering hot day, the house was full of guests, and things weren’t going well. Finally, the hostess got everyone seated for dinner and asked her seven-year-old daughter to say grace. “But mother,” said the little girl, “I don’t know what to say” “Yes you do,” said her mother, “Just say the last [...]

Human can opener

Isn’t it marvellous to know that God made us with so many gifts? This youth can open a can with his teeth! Psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully [and] wonderfully made: marvellous [are] thy works; and [that] my soul knoweth right well.

General William Booth of the Salvation Army once said, “The greatness of a man’s power is the measure of his surrender” Indeed the mark of a spiritual life is the submissive, surrendered life, and the surrendered life is the powerful, blessed life.

I promise my LORD Not to make any provision for the lust of the flesh, lust of the ey, and the pride of life but instead to flee from youthful lusts as Joseph did in moments of temptations To spend time in prayer everyday [...]

Resolution made by my son

My son made this resolution after attending a church camp. I promise my LORD to do my Quiet Time daily. I promise my LORD to be a good example in my school, that others will see Christ in me that they might come to believe in Jesus Christ. I promise my LORD to abstain from [...]

A prayer for pursuing God

My Savior Jesus, Oh, I am so often tempted to act rather than pray! I am so often tempted to sin and neglect You. I am so often to imagine that I can live here forever and own everything in this world. Forgive me for the busy, distracted life that I often live outside the [...]
