We hope to encourage you that God loves you and wants you to be part of His family. We are a husband and wife team that both have 3 to 4 decades of experience in living the Christian life. We have grown to appreciate God and His love for us over the years.<\/p>\n<p>We have also come to\u00a0understand that His love for us is really an expression of His love for the entire human race! So,\u00a0we\u00a0wish to pass on what we know\u00a0works or doesn&#8217;t work\u00a0because we know that&#8217;s what God would want us to do.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, we would like our website to help increase our understanding of the God&#8217;s book written to and for us, the Bible, and applying Biblical truths to various areas of our lives that result in spiritual growth and benefits as God also desires this.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of different Bible translations out there and you may find one that is easy to read, handy to carry with you, or other nice-to-have feature. Because we believe knowledge of God&#8217;s will as revealed through the Bible is so central to living a fulfilled life, it is critical that we know that the translation is faithful to the original Hebrew or Greek texts.<\/p>\n<p>So, whatever translation you are using, we recommend having a King James version with which you can reference when you have a question about a passage of scripture. Many King James version Bibles come with a concordance section in the back that lets you locate a passage if you remember a word from a passage you partially recall.<\/p>\n<p>Some Bibles have explanations in the margins; for example, the Dake&#8217;s Bible is very good in this aspect. Some Bibles like John Maxwell&#8217;s &#8220;The Maxwell Leadership Bible&#8221; is the New King James Version text accompanied by excellent insights and teachings by John Maxwell, a godly leader of leaders. In the conclusion of his book, &#8220;The 21 Most Powerful Minutes in a Leader&#8217;s Day&#8221;, Maxwell writes, &#8220;&#8230; the Bible is the greatest leadership book ever written.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One resource we have enjoyed immensely is Sid Roth&#8217;s, &#8220;It&#8217;s Supernatural!&#8221;. Roth&#8217;s website, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sidroth.org\">www.sidroth.org<\/a>,\u00a0features both television and radio interviews which he conducts each week. The interviews are testimonials of personal encounters with God in some aspect; such as, healing, deliverance, or provision.<\/p>\n<p>We have found most of the interviews uplifting and encouraging. Also, each interview typically is accompanied by some resources; such as, a book or set of CDs or DVDs that can be ordered.<\/p>\n<p>Once again, we hope you enjoy our website! Please come back again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome! We are excited that you are visiting our website!
