Enriching Your Devotions: Practical Guidelines

One of the most significant things that can impact our life for good is the practice of Daily Personal Devotions. It cannot be overstated how this can benefit a life over the years and how God has used it to mature and strengthen one's faith and walk with Him. It can be a source of struggle and frustration for many... finding time; what to do if you do find time; wandering thoughts; reading the Bible but feeling like you are not getting anything out of it. This concludes a brief series called Enriching Your Devotions. The goal behind this series is to give you the practical helps needed to have a very blessed devotional life that will bear fruit and yield years of enjoyment in fellowship with God.

Death is Gain: Heaven is a Real Place

This is the first in a series on the glorious doctrine of heaven. Many Christians show a strange unfamiliarity with heaven and so deep down inside do not feel death is gain as the Scriptures teach. We are the poorer for it. So in this series we will look at what the Bible teaches of the wonderful place in hopes that it will set our hearts longing with excitement to be in that special place.
