By Pastor Mike Taylor Matthew 18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as [...]
Long car or airplane trips can be stressful to any family, especially if your child is autistic. Most parents find it easier to stay home rather than face the daunting prospect of traveling. They worry about how their child will respond to crowds, noise, waiting in lines, unfamiliar environments and people, and many other things [...]
God developed the concept of the family. The husband and wife are two nouns describing two uniquely different individuals. Each one has unique characteristics, needs, reactions, and patterns of coping with his or her environment. Although both are different, they represent two elements that should be one entity or whole. The man is generally the [...]
The world expects more from women now than it ever has. Mom must be a miracle worker. She has to sew a costume for the school pageant, bake twelve-dozen cookies, and take her child’s class to the zoo on little notice. She does this, while writing an annual report, preparing a proposal for a new [...]
The last thirty-four years seems like it was such short time. At age twenty, I thought it impossible that I would live to the ripe old age of fifty-four to observe such an auspicious occasion as our thirty-fourth anniversary. When I first met Michael, I could not believe my good fortune. In fact, I had [...]
One of my favorite Bible stories is of a common Jewish woman who found her niche in history by simply being herself. Queen Esther’s quiet spirit of obedience gave her favor with God and man. God used her to save her condemned people because she found favor with the king. Esther was lovely, but so [...]
Mary knew this day would come, but she was still unprepared for it. How can one prepare for this insanity? The vacillating crowd followed him with cheers and applause one day, and the next cursed him with the defiant shouts of the damned. She stood at the edge of the crowd in disbelief at the [...]
Did you know that marriage is the only relationship in Scripture where two people become one? It illustrates the Trinity’s triune relationship. The Trinity is three separate individuals with different identities and roles, agreeing as one, in perfect harmony. Marriage is two separate individuals with different identities and roles, agreeing as one, in perfect harmony. [...]
You couldn’t tell by the soft white clouds floating against the blue canvass sky that Amy McPherson’s world had just ended. She wiped the back of her hand across her face and saw the sweat, blood, and tears mingled with dirt from the roadside where she stood. Whose blood was it? How did it get [...]
The Art Center is having a contest,” Sue Rhine nervously bit her lip showing Larry the crumpled flyer. “They’re looking for a painting of the ‘Essence of Peace’. First place is $10,000.” Tightening his jaw, Larry Rhine slowly hissed through clenched teeth, “That’s stupid; how can you paint peace?” Larry had been in a funk [...]
Yes, women are funny creatures. A woman will hide her feelings, mulling them over until she thinks herself into worry. She worries about her problems; she worries about her family, she worries about her church, her neighbors, and her job. Left unchecked, her worry turns into depression. She masks her pain, deceiving herself and everyone [...]
“Good Morning U.S.A.! Welcome to Good Morning U.S.A. The morning talk show that’s your number one source for news, weather, and traffic, and here’s your host, Diane Mason. Good morning, Diane.” “Good morning, Dave. Let me introduce our audience to this lovely woman beside me. Mattie Olsen is a member of an elite group called [...]
Follow peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord; looking diligently lest any fail of the grace of God, or lest any root of bitterness springing up disturb you, and by it many are defiled (Hebrews 12:14, 15). Spring is my favorite time of the year. I love the smell [...]
The Lord calls many of us to do his work. He has his own peculiar way of calling those he has ordained to serve him. Sometimes we feel comfortable and build a nest where we are, and God has to push us into our new direction. Like Joseph, he sometimes places us in an uncomfortable position [...]
