Our Worth Before Birth
Our Worth before Birth
by Pastor Natalie A. Francisco, Ed. D.
I once read the following quote from German-born American Physicist Albert Einstein: “The life of the individual only has meaning insofar as it aids in making the life of every living thing nobler and more beautiful. Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value to which all other values are subordinate.” Now I don’t know whether or not Einstein was a Christian, but I do recognize the biblical truth that is encapsulated in his statement of the value and sanctity of human life and the indelible mark that each person is capable of making upon the life of another and the world. In fact, that is why God created mankind from the beginning.

What does it take for you to come back to your senses? You saunter around unabashed and unashamed. The stench of arrogance stirs about in your mouth, and the stink of it is abhorrent.

You are gluttonous in your attitude and monogamous only to yourself. Sin is your lover, and God is nowhere on the scene.

One Thing

The price was high, but it was paid in full. He is after everything about you. Many have been blinded by the distractions of life which have dulled our senses causing us to ignore the passion of the pursuit.
While We’re Waiting
While We’re Waiting
by Pastor Sam Livingston
One of the most fascinating and most difficult things for us is the art of waiting. We receive the promise but the waiting really puts our faith to the test. An avid fisher told me one day that a good fisherman almost has to be lazy because you can get impatient. For those of us who has spent time fishing, we know it is either feast or famine. Everybody enjoys the sport of fishing when a school of fishes are passing through. On the other hand, it takes patients to wait on a movement from you line.
Let’s examine what a good fisherman does:
