John Donne wrote the poem, "No Man Is An Island." It first stanza goes, "No man is an island, Entire of itself;

Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. In other words, we belong to each other - we are interconnected like a body." "Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27)

Sacrifice comes at a cost - love is not cheap. Charles Spurgeon said, "The exercise of benevolence is joy to loving hearts: the more pain it costs, the more joy it is. Kind actions make us happy, and in such joy we find communion with the great heart of Jesus."

What gives you hope? | 3-31-24 | Easter 2024

Our world needs hope - real hope. Not the kind of hope that comes from our government. Dostoevsky said, "To live without hope is to cease to live." Beloved, that hope we need can only come from Christ. We will overcome because he has overcome. He is risen!!!

Don't loose your head!! | 4-7-24 | 2 Samuel 20

A lot of people lose their temper quickly these days - a mistake on the highway, an unintended slight in the store, etc. Solomon said, "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise person holds it in check." (Proverbs 29:11). The Holy Spirit empowers us to hold back and not lose our heads. Lord help us lower the emotional temperature around us!
