MOMENTS WISDOM Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful and most noble employment of man.

The Christian is an Athlete The Apostle Paul uses several analogies when addressing Timothy, the young evangelist. The first was the Christian as a soldier. The second analogy is that of the athlete.

Redemption Human trafficking is a modern form of slavery. This heinous crime has worldwide scope. Persons are kidnapped then kept or sold. They are typically coerced into illegal activities for the benefit of the kidnapper. All victims share the desire to escape their desperate situation.

Transformation To say that the transformation from sinner to saint is dramatic would be an understatement. It is often likened to the remarkable transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. That process is one in which a typically unappealing caterpillar, called a larva, wraps itself inside a chrysalis.
