Amazing time celebrating 31 that professed their faith in Christ by following Him in believer’s baptism. #BeachBaptism #FBCNLife

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

More than praying for our children's safety & success, we need to pray for integrity & fruitfulness.

Paul said "This one thing I do," (Phil. 3:13) but we tend to have "these many things" we try to do but never accomplish. #Priorities

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

Crisis may be public or it may be private...but each one is always personal. Have Christlike sensitivity to the needs of others...

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

The righteousness we have is both a gracious gift and a perpetual practice of active choice. There must be outward showing of inner heart.

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

People dealing with significant struggles must first look to Jesus. He is so willing to bless when we look to Him!

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

There's no place God will lead you that He doesn't precede you.

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

A believer in Christ is to be both a learner and a follower of Jesus. Discipleship is key in the life of a Christian. #FBCNaples

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

The faith that can't be tested can't be trusted. God brings us through trials to strengthen our faith.

1 Corinthians 7:17,22-24 > where has God put you strategically for His purposes?

[Hayes Wicker @HayesWicker]

Though God later elevated Joseph to a high position, he was just as content and happy to serve the Lord as a slave in Potiphar's household
