This is a trustworthy saying, and everyone should accept it: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners”—and I am the worst of them all. ~ 1 Timothy 1:15 (NLT) “Hi, my name is ________ and I’m an alcoholic.” If you’ve ever been to a recovery group, or even seen a TV show orContinueContinue reading “I’m a Sinner”

Ditch negativity; it’s poisoning your body and spirit. Crankiness and suspicion yield discord, not unity or spiritual growth. It’s time for a detox; let Jesus’s positivity infect you.

This is not confined to a single day, but is an invitation extended each day to express thanks and praise. Illuminate the season with your gratitude and spread the light.
