Stepping out in faith…
Start your day in the Word... As I was doing my devotional this morning, I was reminded of how easily we can leave the church for one reason or another. We've been hurt by someone in the church, the hypocrisy of so called Christians who don't act like Christians, or life gets too busy. When …
Often times, I think we look at giving as something we have to do. But, I don't think that's the way it should be. God wants us to give joyfully. But, isn't that what we get from giving? Joy? It makes me feel good to give, especially when I know that my giving is helping …
