The Teachable Heart

With our loving actions, we can be winsomely attractive for Christ! 

God frequently takes us through the valley of difficulty in order to transform us and to solidify our faith. 

How we look depends upon what we compare ourselves to.  Compared to other crooked people, we probably measure up pretty well. But our flawed neighbor is not the standard to which we’re going to be compared.

On that first day, John Wesley preached to more than 3,000 people, and he never looked back.

There's more to his life than having founded the Methodist Church; and much of it was less-than-ideal.  Yet God used this imperfect, faithful man in tremendous ways!

Isn’t it amazing that the first idol maker would become God’s first priest?  Men likely would have cast Aaron out; but God wanted to bring Aaron into His service.

Every Christian marriage faces three very real and significant threats.
