Notice Paul says the last enemy, not our only enemy, to be destroyed is death. We have many enemies, the devil being the big one as he seeks those he may devour. Age is also a enemy as it surely isn’t our friend. There are many more I could list, but if I am honest my biggest enemy is none other than me.

Read MoreWe are not promised another day, really not even our next breath. It is just something we take for granted, that we will wake up and do what we want to tomorrow just like we have in the past.
Read MoreI saw a cartoon today that was funny but I’m afraid there is more truth in it than we would like to think. There was a desk with two people behind it and the caption said “we will be right back with more news as soon as we make some up”. Sounds funny but it would seem that is where we are today.

Read MoreNow let me ask you who do you say Jesus is? Maybe I should ask who do you know that He is? Many will give an answer that He was a good man, a great teacher, a leader, or some may give the answer that he is God’s son. But they don’t know Him.
