The FOREVER NOTEBOOK

“You are forgiving and good, O Lord, abounding in love to all who call to you.”- Psalm 86:5 Have you ever been in the doghouse? In case you don’t know what that means, the doghouse is a place where husbands are sentenced by their wives when they fail to live up to the wife’s expectations. [...]

“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”- Ephesians 4:2 It has been my observation that a high percentage of life’s problems are people problems. At home, at work, in church, and just about everywhere we go we encounter people who make life difficult. We bump into personality conflicts, differing [...]

“Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.”- Mark 9:35 Over at First Eggshell Church you have to be extra careful about what you say, how you say it, and who you say it to. They talk about [...]

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”- John 4:24 Do you ever feel, in a worship setting, that you are disconnected?

God uses us to accomplish His purposes by giving us assigned tasks based on our spiritual gifts, talents, and abilities. It [...]

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”- James 1:5 Would you like to be wise? I can’t imagine that your answer would be “no” so I’ll rephrase the question. Are you wise? Throw out the modesty and [...]

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”- Matthew 7:7-8 For several years now, inventor and super marketer Ron Popeil has touted [...]
