    Paul, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, believes it’s extremely important that you and I know who we are...in Christ. What we think about our identity—who we are-- can make all the difference in how live this life...in Christ and do Kingdom work.

    I think we have an identity crisis in America...and quite possibly around the world. So many young people gain their identity from the latest fashions, trends or from their friends. Many Christians today, also, have an identity crisis. Most of us perceive our identity more from our family, our ...read more

    God patiently tolerates the presence of the weeds in His field rather than risk uprooting even a single stalk of wheat.

    John’s Question

    Contributed by Dan Finch on Dec 25, 2010
     | 10,366 views

    It’s hard to be sure when you are in pain It’s easy to be confident when things are going well – when you are young, strong – LeBron James for instance, went on TV and had a whole show just to say that he was going to the Miami Heat. Look at me, look how confident I am. This is going to be great. ...read more
