The Lions Den
Daniel 6 tells us about Daniel’s trip into the lions den. Daniel was not liked by those who wanted his place.

There are many congregations that claim to be an Acts 2:42 congregation. They devote themselves to the apostles teaching and fellowship, toContinue reading “To what are you devoted?”

Have you ever done something and had it completely fall apart around you? Started a project that just crumbled around you as you tried to carry it out? Had a wonderful idea that once you started to put it in motion you realized that it was not going to succeed? What is success? We eachContinue reading “Labor not in vain…”
