Do Not Worry

At some point we may have thought about how the wicked can have so much. Why does it seem that those that live in complete disregard for God and His judgments can live in abundance and ease? We read passages that speak to the prosperity of the righteous and the wicked being cut off and wonder, “When will I prosper?” (Psa. 1:3-4).…

Amazed By Amazing Deacons

The Lord’s church is made up of the most wonderful people on the face of the earth!  Over the years, I have been tremendously impressed with so many of the deacons of the church, both at Palm Beach Lakes and in other congregations.  Deacons have a special, God-given purpose in the church.  The word “deacon” is from a Greek word that means…
