A Time To Reap
If We live our lives controlled by the Flesh, we are governed by the World and will die in the Flesh. Our spirit is then left for the eternal fire. If We live by the Spirit, We are guided by God through the Holy Spirit. We will die TO the flesh [put to death the…

Mountain Climb 2012
Pinnacle Mountain, Mt Pilot NC I think our responses to difficulties are all in the way we approach life in general. Very often our response to the difficulty may determine how hard the mountains in our lives will be to climb. These mountains make us better climbers or they defeat us. …

Enjoy the Voyage
Make Friends With The Captain We have many folks talking pre-tribulation and post tribulation. It takes me to the thought I was having this morning about the Rapture, being pre-tribulation.

The Journey Begins
July 30th was a hot day in 1958, peaches were in season and ready for canning. The closest hospital was likely 15-20 miles from the Beckner farm on Wolf Creek, also known as Grapefield, Va. It’s safe to say that trek felt much longer on a dirt mountain road, under construction in a work truck.…
