February turns the thoughts of many to Valentine’s Day, with See’s chocolates, Sweethearts candies, and Hallmark cards dripping with prose professing true and enduring love. But there is only One who truly loves us forever and will never leave nor forsake us. No one can love us like our heavenly Father. And we should love […]

Have you considered we serve the God of the new? Every week starts with a fresh Sunday. Every month is marked by a new moon. New spring growth follows a seasonal cycle of summer, autumn, and winter. At the end of each year, a new year begins. When we receive Christ we are made into

Probably the first verse memorized by every Christian is For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son… –John 3:16. God gave a gift beyond all gifts, a gift we could never earn or repay: life, forgiveness, joy, peace, and hope. At Christmas we celebrate the birth of this gift from

So what’s up for the New Year? I hope you’re not one of those folks who start making resolutions they’ll never be able to keep. (If you can, great for you – most of us, however, just don’t do so well…) Resolutions to accomplish more, eat less, be healthier, save money, and maximize your earnings

Concerts, parades, barbeques, and fireworks come to most peoples’ minds when they think of the Fourth of July. And we’re no different, even though we may be entrepreneurs at heart. While we join in the celebration of our nation’s independence, we understand as well that it is for our own individual independence that we are
