    He had places to go, people to see, things to do, it was going to be the social event of the year. He was finally going to be free at last to do as he pleased 24/7. No one was going to tell him what to do any longer, he had had enough,

    Father Knows Best! Today we celebrate the day that comes but once a year, while many things are only celebrated once a year, only this day honors fathers.

    When I am offended, how can I "build a bridge and get over it?"

    Paul mentions two women by name who were involved in some sort of conflict. Paul doesn’t indicate what the issue was. We can assume that it was not a matter of heresy or immorality. For we know from Paul’s other epistles that if that were the case, Paul would have confronted it head-on. Since this ...read more

    We live in a world where it is hard to find people who care. We live in a world where people are willing give money and even time to help people we don’t know. But at the same time, we often ignore people we do know who are in a spiritual pits.

    For those of us who have or maybe are holding grudges now, I hope you understand how destructive it is for you. It's impossible to love those you hold a grudge against.

The person who accused me wanted to fire me, but, didn't have the authority himself to do it, so he tried to diminish my character by accusing me of stealing my material. I have to ...read more

    Working through a difficult passage of scripture on judging others. What did Jesus mean? If it is okay to judge others, what are the tools we need to use to make fair assessments? And, do we judge Christians any differently than non-Christians?
