    Faith, obedience and patient acceptance of suffering can attract others to the Gospel.

    “If it is you calling, Lord, bid me come to you.” We have all been called by Jesus–usually in a tiny, whispering sound, barely audible above the roar and clamor of our lives. That is why we must take time every day to pray, to listen in silence to the Walker on the waters. But we can’t ever ...read more

    Why is it that sex is made cheap and common by our society? Like so many things it can be bought and sold but what is the right attitude we as Christians should hold about sex in marriage?

It seems like you tell them over and over, and they still do the same thing. Sometimes you just sit staring into space wondering ...read more
