Quick Thought – Friday, April 24, 2026: When Serving Becomes a Distraction
It is possible to spend so much time doing things for the Lord that we slowly neglect spending time with Him.

Quick Thought – Saturday, April 18, 2026: What Would You Sacrifice?
Mary gave what others considered far too valuable to lose, yet Jesus called it beautiful. The real question is not what her jar cost — but what we would willingly place before Him. Continue reading

Quick Thought – Monday, April 13, 2026: How Many Bags?
In the parable of the talents, even the servant with “just one” was managing a massive fortune. Jesus’ point is clear: every one of us has been entrusted with something valuable, and God expects us to use it faithfully rather than bury it. Continue reading
