Anybody out there feel like they have had enough of a mean world? God knew we would struggle and he gave us wonderful examples of people and promises in His Word to encourage us in the days ahead! 

Sometimes we feel our work is in vain but when you are doing the work of The Lord, it will have fruit!  Don't give up!  Do your best because somebody may be listening!

We all bear the responsibility to maintain and preserve the earth and everything in it.  Are we each doing our part?

Who are the modern day prophets?  Are the ministers in the pulpit and on the television bold to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ?  Make sure you are listening to God's truth and not the 'false truth' of this world. 

Guard your heart can mean setting boundaries and protecting your space but it can also mean cleaning up your own actions and thoughts! Thanks to the preacher who opened up this word for me!  (And, I wouldn't have heard it - if I hadn't been in church!) 

Sometimes celebrations give us room for pause.  How many problems could we eliminate - even prevent altogether if we would follow God's commands?  When we don't, it's a slow fall from grace.

Even more powerful than showing up on Sunday is having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Avoiding temptation in the first place will save you a lot of heartache down the road!

Be cautious when you hear a sermon that doesn't ring true to you.  If ever in doubt, get into the Word of God!

The wisdom of a little child is a powerful and humbling lesson for all of us.
