From Dan McClain… James 5:16 (ESV): Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. There are no perfect people. When someone comes to Jesus to be saved, it means that the person believes […]

Read more "A Second Look at VBS"From Craig Swanson… “Behold, children are a gift from the Lord;” (PS. 127:3) In the midst of all the hassles and headaches of raising children we sometimes forget that they are God’s great gift to us.

Read more "Sharpening Arrows"From Dan McClain… Everyone has a mother and a father. As we grow up we may see traits of our parents in us. Sometimes it’s how we look.
