2 Chronicles 26:1-5, 15b-21 {Prayer} One of my favorite bathroom signs has to be “Wash your hands and say your prayers for Jesus and germs are everywhere.” And He is and they are. Jesus being everywhere means that you are never alone, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. Germs…
Ephesians 4:25-32 {Prayer} How many of you have heard the joke about what make and model of automobile the early Christians drove? Well for those who haven’t. The make and model of the car early Christians drove was a Honda Accord. Why? Because in Acts 2:1, it says of the early church, “They…

Matthew 26:47-50 {Prayer} A little trivia for our history buffs. Name this man. He was an early hero of the American Revolution.

2 Chronicles 14:1-7; 16:1-13 {Prayer} “Finish strong! Don’t quit! Don’t give up!” Those words ring loud and clear in the ears of any athlete, of any runner especially.
