Give an Encouraging Word by Martin Wiles “So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:11, NLT). I ignored the call, assuming it just another spammer. Writers’ conferences wield a double-edged sword. I hang on every word from experienced […]

Scrooge by Sharron Cosby “It is possible to give away and become richer! It is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. Yes, the liberal man shall be rich! By watering others, he waters himself” (Proverbs 11:25, TLB). Most of us know the story of […]

Sound Words by Nicole Lisa Schrader “But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me. Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith […]
