The first day of a new year.

What will we do with it? It will never get any easier than today to take action. Never.

Do you want to learn more from God’s Word this year? Take the first step – read a chapter of the Bible today.

Do you want to pray more this year? Take the first step – go to a quiet room and get alone with God now.

Do you want to reach someone for Christ? Take the first step – get out of your office and go find someone to talk to.

Do you want to spend more time with family? Take the first step – log off the computer and have a conversation.

Do you want to take better care of the only body God gave you to serve Him with? Take the first step – literally! Take a walk or a run.

Do you want to read more? Take the first step – begin on chapter one now.

Whatever you desire to do…do something about it! On this first day, take the first step.

The journey is made one step at a time. Take the first today.

What Can We Learn From Jonah?

The King Herod who built the Herodium is the same Herod who tried to kill Jesus, and ordered the slaughter of the babies in nearby Bethlehem. He knew his subjects hated him, so before he died, he provided for his tomb to be guarded after his death. After a couple of years, the money ran out so the guards went home. The vengeful locals trashed his palace and smashed his ornate mausoleum to tiny pieces.

The altar of sacrifice in front of the holy of holies in Arad. Even though it is a smaller imitation, the temple here gives the visitor an idea of how the Temple in Jerusalem appeared.

    very simple, yet very good advice. there is a phrase that says the definition of insanity is doing the same thing you have always done and expecting different results. if you truly want to change, then you have to create the change. good stuff brother.
