Good morning everyone, 1 Corinthians 4:20- For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. From an unbelieving perspective our faith many times can seem to be nothing out of the ordinary. In fact most of the time we might agree that when we think of God’s power and even hear […]
“Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” So they say. But imagine if you were to get a bitter divorce from your husband who gave it to you. Would you still keep your ring? “Of course! I certainly wouldn’t give it back to him. I would sell it and cash it in,” is probably what you […]
James 4:4-You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. I think definitions that the history of some churches have had when describing how a Christian should not be "worldly" can at […]
One of the joys of being a Christian is seeing how everything is connected. The things I used to think were random and irrelevant, I’m finding coherent.

Good morning everyone, John 14:21-Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." One of the things my older daughter does is run upstairs and puts on one of her […]
Familiarity breeds contempt. This is especially true when it comes to our salvation. Because many of us grew up hearing about it, it no longer has the impact it should have.
