When Someone Disappoints Us

I Can’t Say it Enough

So often we take for granted the love of God. We often feel like there is no hope for us but I say to you today that regardless to where you have been, regardless to what you have done; God loves YOU.

Granddaddy – Sharing Jesus

My granddaddy was a bi-vocational pastor. He pastored small churches around Stanley and Union County while also running a little shop behind his house. He would fix tires, golf carts, and tractors.

A Godly Touch

Do you notice how easy it is to get a hard heart? God’s value system is so often in direct contrast to the values of our world.

Love Notes and Never Forgetting

I keep a running list of love notes. God’s love notes. Because unless He keeps telling me He loves me, my human heart stops believing it.
