    Double It!

    In church, we’ve been in a series from the “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew 5. This week, part of the discussion involved verse 41. This is the verse that states in the NIV “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.” This verse is part of the discussion that…

    Never Stop Being You

    I got the opportunity to review the book “We Be Big: The Mostly True Story of How Two Kids from Calhoun County Alabama Became Rick and Bubba” By Rick Burgess and Bill Bussey with Don Keith.

  • Hope or Hope?

    I was reading my devotional today and there was a particular comment that really jumped out at me. The author referred to the change in the word hope as we tend to think of it today versus the way that it was used in the Bible. We tend to use the word hope more as…

  • The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns

    The book The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns is a call to action for Christians wrapped in the story of the author’s journey from the executive boardroom of a large and prestigious corporation in the east to the headquarters of World Vision U.S. in the state of Washington. This story in itself is an awe…
