Happy Father’s Day!

Posted on June 15, 2014 by Todd D. Nystrom

Thanks Dad, for teaching me to love the Lord and appreciate the beauty of His amazing creation! Happy Father’s Day!

Matthew 7:7-11 – ⁷ “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. ⁹ Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

To all you fathers out there, give your children the greatest gift of all, be a father who loves and serves our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and teach them to do the same. Also, take the time to bring them outdoors and teach them to appreciate the beauty of God’s amazing creation.

A Refuge from the Storm

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Todd D. Nystrom

Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.

They Are New Every Morning

Posted on June 11, 2014 by Todd D. Nystrom

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

Greater Love Has No One

Posted on May 26, 2014 by Todd D. Nystrom

John 15:12-13 – ¹²This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

The next generation.

Memorial Day is a day set aside to remember those Americans who have paid the ultimate price and laid down their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we too often take for granted. We should also take time to thank those who are serving now so future generations may continue to enjoy these same freedoms.

Happy Memorial Day!
