Recently, I sent out a text meditation about being ready to meet the Lord and receiving the Crown of Righteousness. I got to thinking that you might be interested in knowing about other crowns that are available to believers. Salvation is a gift. You can’t earn it. You receive it when by faith you make […]

Trouble and suffering are a part of life, and we all must cope with them sooner or later. Maybe some of you are dealing with an incurable disease. Others may be facing a financial crisis.

I love the fact that we still have a lot of agricultural land in Ventura County. I grew up on a farm in Western Canada. If we planted wheat, and the elements cooperated, we would eventually reap wheat. The same was true with barley, oats, and flax. The Apostle Paul in Galatians 6:7-10 NLT wrote, “Don’t be […]
