    The T.V. show "Pimp My Ride" take old beat up cars and makes them new. Jesus takes old beat up lives and makes them new.

    Pimp My Ride “Jesus Change My Life” I don’t watch MTV! I find the VAST majority of what on MTV to be absolute trash. But, I have to admit, there is one show that I do enjoy watching when it’s on. The show’s title is somewhat misleading to us “older folks”. It’s called “Pimp My Ride”. It seems ...read more

No peace—sword—a man’s foes will be those of his own household: these are profoundly disturbing images. But in the world of Matthew, who wrote for a ...read more
