May 10: The Only Commandment with a Promise – Deuteronomy 5:16

HONOR your father and mother! On Mother’s Day this sounds appropriate. How do we do that? What does that mean? And if we do it there’s a promise. Yes there is and some wonder why life has gone sour. Let the Bible remind you of the foundation of success.

May 3: Power of the Tongue: Positive – Proverbs 15:23-28 and I Timothy 6:11-16

What we say shapes and molds who we are and what we become. Do you make a positive confession. Do the words that come out of your mouth reflect the graciousness and goodness that God wants to give us? Let’s talk about what the positive words we speak can do.
