    Life change happens best in a community group. It’s the best thing you can get involved in to have an unshakable walk with God.

    I’ve had the privilege of helping two teenagers learn to drive. Both of our oldest sons had the same habit. They loved to drive waaay right. As a passenger, you thought, “If he swerves to the right just a little, I’m going to be wearing a mailbox.” I’d say things like, “Whatever you do, don’t ...read more

    Since everyone is a slave—either to sin or to God—it’s best to choose the slavery that gives the best results.

    The Issue: “What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!” (v. 15; see v. 14). If God loves us whether we sin or not, then why not continue to sin just as much as we please? God saves people not by law (through works) but by grace (through faith). To live ...read more
