Good morning, Champion.The Lord has need of itLuke 19:30-36 (NKJV)Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here. And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.'" So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

Good morning, Champion.Take Him up on His invitationJames 1:5 (NIV)If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.What a great invitation to anyone lacking wisdom. Come on, let's face it, at one time or another, in one way or another, we all do regularly lack wisdom, right? The Bible simply says when we lack wisdom and

Good morning, Champ.That's what Fathers do (Cont'd)Hebrews 12:5-8 (NKJV)And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."
