by Ed Newton on June 21st, 2023
"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." - James 1:19 It's so easy to get caught up in the moment and say things that we don't mean or things that end up causing trouble.

by Ed Newton on August 13th, 2022
“A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak.” - Ecclesiastes 3:7 Yesterday, we talked about sharing the message that is on your heart.
