Sin Has A Long Reach
Sin is not the number one topic we go to in conversations. As Followers of Christ, we know we are sinners, but we sure don’t want to talk about it. We don’t want sin to be our identity. Actually, sin is not our identity but Christ is. However, if we tell others about our sin,…

An Idea Is Forming
The lightbulb goes on over my head as I look into the cupboards in my basement. On multiple shelves, I see many notebooks which contain Bible Studies I’ve written. As the women’s ministry director, I wrote studies and taught them to the women of Cornerstone Baptist Church. My time of creating, writing, and study was…

Teaching What is Good!

What You Can Learn At Disney World – Part 1
I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime made possible by the women of Cornerstone Baptist Church. As I prepared for retirement, the women were pooling their money to send me, cost free to, Disneyworld. It was a surprise that still overwhelms me. I didn’t even have to drive. My friend, Kim, did…

I’ve Fallen and I’ve Gotten Up!
Embarrassment is so much a part of our thinking, isn’t it? We want others to think the best of us and certainly don’t want them to see us do something stupid! However, there are times in our lives when we do things by accident that still cause us embarrassment. Last night was that night for…

Suffering is part of the life of everyone who breathes on this earth. It doesn’t matter whether you are a believer or not; we all suffer. Our suffering can be in the areas of relationships, health, sin, or the results of a natural disaster. We can suffer emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. The suffering we…
