Do you know someone who is constantly sharing something with others? They are generous with their words, selfless with their time and generous with their money. And yet it seems that they always have something more to give. The author of the book of Proverbs, who is traditionally considered to be King Solomon, said: “The (…)

“A person who is kind to his soul does good.” — Proverbs 11:17 Two friends came to buy a laptop at an electronics store when they suddenly saw the famous basketball player Shaquille O’Neal.

Writing from a Roman prison to believers in the Greek city of Philippi, the apostle Paul knew firsthand how important it is to fight difficult things (…)

Have you ever walked in the dark? Maybe your home lost power during a thunderstorm, or you’re stuck on the road with car trouble. Walking in the dark can be scary and dangerous. Having light is a little better, isn’t it? The same is true of our spiritual journeys. How we find this light in (…)
