Parenting is by far one of the most difficult jobs around for most people. Let me clarify, parenting is difficult. Having children is easy. There is a distinct difference between the two.Two weeks ago, my sister-in-law came in from Florida for a visit. Part of her visit entailed renting a minivan and driving to Las [...]

Wives are amazing, intuitive, supportive, kind and understanding creatures. But wives can sometimes be oblivious to things that are of utmost importance to men.

Protection and Deliverance from Harm

Protection from the destructive force of this world is something that’s very easy to take for granted. Particularly if you consider your life mundane and relatively uneventful. My wife emailed me today and asked me to pray for her in her attempts to comfort a co-worker who lost her nephew in a tragic car accident yesterday. [...]

Stereotypes: When Faith is built on False Impressions

Greg Winfield — Sat, 15 Jun 2013 22:45:05 +0000

Stereotypes are based on our life experiences and the information we receive beginning at birth. Some stereotypes are valid and correct, but since we all are individuals with our own way of thinking and acting, most stereotypes are false. Mrs. Williams was an older woman who lived in Apartment B, which was situated directly above mine. [...]

Endurance: Running the Race that’s set before you

Greg Winfield — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:34:02 +0000

Endurance as it relates to anything in life comes down to one thing and one thing only: How bad do you want to win? Physical limitations, poor education, less than perfect circumstances, being raised in a single parent home, the color of your skin, a lack of finances, and a myriad of other factors can only [...]

Understanding the Trinity: Having Steak for Breakfast

Greg Winfield — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:20:49 +0000

The Trinity is a topic that some Christian’s struggle to understand. You might say that the Triune existence of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit is one of the “meatier” subjects in the bible. I had no intention of writing about the Trinity this morning. In fact, my subject this morning [...]

Guest Post: Does Heaven Have An Open Door Policy?

Greg Winfield — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 01:21:57 +0000

By: MAC A few weeks ago I opened up to Revelation 4. I find myself there often, it’s a great portion to read before a time of prayer as it really sets the stage for Who we are praying to.

Guest Post: Doing your best

Greg Winfield — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:21:36 +0000

Looking back over seasons of hard times that I’ve had I can honestly [...]
