A Moments Wisdom on Grace –Any fool can know. The point is to understand. –Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. –Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn. –Children don’t always remember what you try to teach them.

When Our Heroes Disagree By Sewell Hall If I were asked to name my three most admired New Testament heroes (other than Jesus) I suppose I would name Paul, Peter and Barnabas, perhaps in that order.

A Moments Wisdom –What you see and hear depends, not only on where you are standing, but also on what kind of person you are. –The sting of a rebuke is the truth within it. –It takes a completely honest man to tell the difference between when he is tired and when he is just plain lazy. –Look at a day when you were supremely satisfied at its end. It is not a day when you relaxed and did nothing;…

Social Addiction By Kent Heaton “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
