John 8:15-17-You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. If you ask non-Christians and Christians what bothers you most about Christians the answer I’ve heard the […]
We love diversity. God is glorified more as people who are natural enemies come together as one to worship Him. It shows to the world that Christianity is not a local religion, confined to a certain culture or people groups, but rather reaches to the world with its global nature. So, we love diversity in […]
Romans 9:1-I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— Assuming we all have been in some kind of argument with a spouse, friend, or family member, where we have allowed the passion to prove a point take us over emotionally.

My wife, Janet, scolded one of our children yesterday for complaining about the food. She told her that if she were to utter one more word of complaint, she will not eat. I was watching to see if my daughter would complain again and what Janet would do if she did – if she would […]
Ephesians 2:10-For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. I remember playing high school football and when we watched film, we would call out people who were a “liability” to their team, and they would be the person we would “pick […]
“The human heart is an idol factory,” John Calvin said. I can’t tell you how true that is looking into my own heart. God has given me so much – embarrassingly so, which I deserved none – and yet I am still look for more! How do I know? Because I am not content with […]
