What You Feed On Determines How You Grow!

     Two of my favorite fast-food items are Krispy-Kreme doughnuts and French fries; they are just the tastiest things I can easily get a hold of and they make me want to have more of it every time I get it. However, it’s been a while since I’ve had either of these.      A Krispy Kreme Original Glazed doughnut is made from at least 50 ingredients – mostly artificial food additives that increase your risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, allergies, and digestive disorders. A medium order of French Fries has 365 calories along with 17 grams of fat, 26% of your daily value. Sodium clocks in at 246 mg, or 10% of the upper limit you should eat in a day. If you eat junk food all the time, your body is going to show it sooner or later. If you eat healthy food, you will have better results. Some of us are very careful in eating the right thing. We see more people are beginning to give value for nutrition rather than just taste. We here in America are being bombarded daily with a lot

"Now that Jesus has died on the cross, all the people in the world are going to get saved and go to heaven. Nobody is going to come to hell. What shall we do?" The theme of the conference was, ‘How to bring people to hell.’ Many demons came up with various suggestions but none of them were practical. One demon said, "I’ll go and te

The Bigger picture

I sat here today, stressed out as I wrote this blog. I worried about whether it would make any sense, whether the  punctuation  would be correct and whether it sounded like a well written article. What I kept forgetting was to look deep within the words in the article and assess the value that it could bring into the spiritual lives of the readers. I realized that I was forgetting to look at the bigger picture. When I realized this I quickly stopped, hit the backspace button and sought God for guidance in writing this. It was then that it occurred to me that often our walk with the Lord is just like the experience I went through in attempts to write an article.  As Christians we forget the importance of looking at the bigger picture.

We get so caught up in all the worries of the world that we forget the most important piece of our walk with the Lord,
