It is God’s plan that we not only know truth but believe truth, speak truth and reorder our lives so that all our actions reflect truth.

Forgiveness is the only way to stop the pain of a buried grudge.

We won’t necessarily understand WHY we are at peace, but we will recognize a calmness and a serenity in a deep place within us that wasn’t there before.

There’s nothing more satisfying than finishing a job and having someone say, “What a good job!”  Regardless of the area, whether in the trades or the arts, when someone performs well it brings joy to more than just themselves. As we walk with God and follow His will for our lives, He promises to give us everything we need so this experience of doing a good job can be ours.

Who of us hasn't felt pressured recently – maybe even today?  There are so many demands on our time and attention, so many uncertainties in our world, and so much we don't know about what we need to do to be safe and successful. How does God want us to deal with pressures?

The Bible speaks about our friends sharpening us when it says: As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend. Proverbs 27:17 Just as the different slots on a knife sharpener perform different functions that are equally necessary to have a sharp knife, so we need different kinds of input from our friends.
