It comes down to being so thankful for God’s love and God’s presence, that the circumstances of life matter a lot less than the fact that God is there with you.

We kick off our community spotlight series in a personal interview with First Baptist Decatur's Pastor for Youth and Families, Rev. Kelsey Vincent.

It is sometimes easy to let the light of Christ darken in our lives. We get too busy with other things, we get discouraged, we are overly critical, or we become apathetic to spiritual matters.

Be at peace. Do not look forward in fear to the changes of life; rather look to them with full hope as they arise.

Isn’t the challenge of each of our lives to discover where and how God is present throughout our days? Listen to your life.

How we love each other is how we love God… may we remember to treat one another with compassion, to not take our stress, anxieties, or fears out on one another.
