    One of the greatest tragedies of the Christian life is that we fail to ever enter into a relationship with God that is born of the Holy Spirit. We are left with a religion, not a relationship.

I think that if that question is asked or thought of here maybe our people feel that way as well. If we as future shepherds, feel that way how can we ...read more

Just about everybody thinks that they deserve a better deal than they’re getting. There is very little justice in the world. But that’s old news. Now ...read more
