Quotes & Short Teachings!

by Darlene Osborne

No matter what type of problem you're having today. Whether it is a marital problem, a money problem, grief, sickness, you name it, no matter how heartbroken you are, run to Jesus. For Proverbs 18:10 tells us, "The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and IS SAFE!" Oh how I loved watching my son Jamie play baseball when he was a kid. I remember him running toward home, crossing the plate, and the umpire yelling "SAFE." What a thrill. Jesus, too, is thrilled when we run to Him and He can yell to the devil that we are SAFE!

Is That You Jesus?

by Leigh Moran, Staff Writer

Is that You, Jesus, greeting me at the local super store? Did I smile and speak? Is that You, Jesus, working beside me? Did I say thank you, today, for the help You gave to me? Is that You, Jesus, patrolling the Interstate to help me be safe? Did I do anything to make Your job more unsafe and hard to perform? Is that You, Jesus, answering the 911 fire call? Did I respond to the siren and move over, while I was driving, or just ignore You? Behold Jesus in everyone you meet, be it nature, animals or humanity, as He is there!!!

~Quick Quote~

Jesus said it before Arnold Schwarzenegger. "I'll Be Back."

Treasure Hunt

by Danny Woodall, Staff Writer

Towns all across the country have their annual festivals and celebrations. Here in Port Neches, TX. We have the Riverfest. One of the biggest events is the Treasure Hunt. The hunt was one the longest for the Riverfest. It wasn’t until the later part of the week that the treasure was found in a pipe just off postal property. The Bible contains treasures of advice that will help things go well with our lives. We only have to look for them, and allow the Holy Spirit to show us the clues. It takes time and patience, but it is well worth the effort.
