Fortunately, the Word of God is filled with examples of people who made a difference for God. They lived for the glory of God and for the good …
I recently read that almost 60% of us make New Year resolutions. I also read that most of those resolutions do not make it to the end of January.

~by Waylon Bailey Yesterday, I preached from Ephesians 1:3-4 about a “Checklist for Getting Close to God.” This passage is a great checklist for living close. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, Just as He chose us in Him before the …
