    Don’t let religious traditions become more important that people.

    The religious leaders did not ask, “Who healed you?” but rather, “Who told you to do this on the Sabbath?” They were more concerned about a broken rule than a miraculous healing.

    A Graduation Message

    Lies our Teens are Falling For. My project this spring and summer has been trying to grow a new lawn.

    Putting Our Love Into Action Series

     | 14,085 views

    Our efforts for the Lord will be futile without love. We know the Bible commands that we love one another, and yet we fail to fully heed the command. Our world needs to experience love in action, not just in word.

I suppose there is no wonder John felt so impressed to emphasize love among the believers. He was blessed to walk with the Lord, studying ...read more

    A man is someone who can submit to authority. Submission is an attitude that results from a mindset. The man who excels at this understands that he cannot self-govern and needs to be governed. Therefore, he gives up his will to a higher authority.

    Well today, we are looking at the first of nine attributes. Today’s attribute is – Submits to Authority. I believe that Jesus Christ was teaching the attributes during his life, as he walked this earth. That he was trying to help, us to understand – as a man – what it means to be a true man of God. ...read more
