The Ten Commandments: Why They Matter Today
When most people think of the Ten Commandments, they think of the list of laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai (we find this account in Exodus 20). These commandments are also known as The Law and they serve as a guide for how we should live our lives. Although these commandments were given specifically to the Jewish nation, they are still applicable to everyone today. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at each one of the Ten Commandments, their purpose, and see how they apply to us today.

The Benefits of Reading the Bible and How to Incorporate It Into Your Daily Routine
It's no secret that reading the Bible is important. It's one of the most widely read books in the world, and for good reason. The Bible has a lot to offer us, including guidance, wisdom, and inspiration. But many people find it difficult to read the Bible on a regular basis. They may feel like they don't have enough time or that they don't know how to get started. In this article, we will discuss some of the benefits of reading the Bible and ways that you can incorporate it into your daily routine!
Living In Hope
I know I have misunderstood the word "HOPE". To me, it meant something I'm wishing for, or something I think might happen. I would maybe say "I HOPE the Cubs win today." But did I really expect them to win? Not really!
This word HOPE is not a whim, a wish, or even a want.
HOPE is the absolute expectation that something will happen.
Worship
What comes to mind when you think of “worship”?
Does a crowd of people singing with their hands raised come to mind? Or maybe someone kneeling and praying?
But what does the Bible say about worship? This is the real question!
Cultures and traditions change, but as followers of Jesus, we should be seeking the way Jesus wants us to worship Him. So let’s look at the Scripture and see how it defines and explains worship.
Yielding to the Spirit, Denying the flesh, and Producing Fruit - Part 3.
May we not be participating in the works of the flesh. Rather, let us deny the flesh and submit to the Spirit in our life. In turn He will produce fruit through us.

As followers of Jesus Christ we are not only to walk in the Spirit but also be led by Him.

Preventative Maintenance
In the world of maintenance for vehicles especially in commercial fleets, there are two opposing ideologies for maintaining vehicles. There is preventative maintenance and breakdown maintenance. Preventative maintenance is when vehicles are routinely inspected, lubed, and worn parts replaced before they fail, and breakdown maintenance is when you simply run the vehicle until it literally breaks down and fix it then. Obviously, breakdown maintenance is the more costly, time-consuming, and dangerous of the two. Many tragic vehicle accidents have been attributed to a lack of maintenance.
Tempting During the Testing
n Exodus chapter 17 we find the account of the children of Israel journeying through the wilderness on the way to the Promised Land. They are chiding and complaining to Moses, this time about the lack of water.
Jonah the Nationalist
Unfortunately, the first thing that often comes to mind when we think of this person Jonah and the book about him is a “whale” or a “great fish”. But the book of Jonah is so much more than a story about a man who miraculously spent three days and nights in the belly of a fish.
Daily Living
Planning, preparing, scheduling, and anticipating something in the future is a part of all of our lives. There is always an event to get ready for, a trip to arrange, a meeting to set up, and an activity to look forward to. The future can also bring much anxiety and stress to our lives. A scary headline, an upcoming election, a big court hearing, and societal turmoil in the news can bring along so much dread for the future. One can easily get so consumed with the good, or bad of tomorrow that he misses out on what can be enjoyed today.
Patience In Prayer
Patience is something we all struggle with. In a society of next day delivery, fast food, order ahead, fiber internet, and self-checkout, patience has become a quality less and less exercised. When we have a need, or a want we expect to get it right away. If we are not careful, a lack of patience can creep its way into our prayer life. Instead of spending time with our Saviour, we hurry through lists. Instead of waiting on the Lord, trusting in His timing, and seeking His Will above our own, we become discouraged and disappointed in prayer. As a result, less and less time is spent in prayer.
