The Great Neglect
You have heard of the ‘Great Depression’ in the US and the ‘Great Famine’ in Ireland, which were both times of great sorrow and grief, and in the case of the scourge of famine in Ireland, a time when very large numbers of people died of starvation and disease – a truly shameful and terrible time.

Do You Know Who You Are? Who Does The Bible Say You Are?Many people, especially Christians sometimes don’t know who they really are or at least doubt that their identity is anything else but what other people have told them over the course of their lives.

Getting Life’s Priorities Straight – What’s Most Important to You?In the busyness of our lives today, it is difficult to prioritize our time and commitments especially when it comes to family, friends and faith. For Christians, the priority is first to God, then His church, then spouse and children, then work and then friends.This may seem impossible or at least the wrong way around because the world says we should first provide, protect and perform for all those in our sphere of influence and those we love. Who’s right? What’s right? What are your priorities as a Christ follower?
Deadly EuphoriaCurrently the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) conflicts have captured the attention of the world. Almost in every state or nation which has the Muslim population there exists the ISIS movement branch or at least a community of followers.
