    We do not receive the Spirit just by saying "No" to a list of prohibited actions. We receive him by saying yes to the call of God, and yes to the commands of God

    Life sometimes really does seem a lot like a shell game. It moves faster than you can keep track of and what you reach for is often disappointingly empty. For many people life feels just plain random, a big gamble but at least it's not rigged against you. But sometimes life may feel like a ...read more

    We are not to be just satisfied with a baby in a manger but to listen, believe, and take action, following the main purpose of why Christ came to earth, which was to seek and save the lost!

The world will accept the fact that there was a special baby born about 2000 years ago which makes us think about peace, joy, and love. But what is the ...read more

    God invites us to follow him. He does not command us to do what he has not done. He sets himself as the example for our actions.

    THE GODS we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either.
