Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is to the Christian life what fuel is to a car — absolutely essential to move forward. I’ll never forget the day April and I found ourselves stranded on the side of the road in our newly…

Ephesians 4:16: “…maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” How can you tell if you are growing spiritually?

In April 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with numerous other skydivers and filmed the group as they fell and opened their parachutes. On the film shown on the telecast, as the final skydiver opened his chute, the picture went berserk. The
