None of us like to think about it, but the day is coming for each of us…the day we breathe our last, and face the other side of eternity. That’s what another was thinking about when he approached Jesus to ask the most important question: “How can I KNOW that I know?”

When spouses consistently out-serve one another, the result is good marriages that are a models for others to follow. So too, our faith family is commanded to out-serve one another, resulting in real relationships that demonstrate the reality of God’s Presence.

In most cases, no one has a greater influence over our faith than our parents. This is why children so often imitate what parents demonstrate. And that’s why it’s so important we rediscover the privilege & reignite the passion of leading our children to love God.

As we complete our Journey through James, we are reminded of those who no longer walk with Jesus. So….NOW WHAT? Do we sit back & write them off as a lost cause OR do we go back in to rescue & restore those who have wandered off?

Many celebrity preachers say you should pray believing, speaking reality into existence, & never doubting that God wants your best life now.
