We started it but cannot end it. It could be called “The War of Independence.” It’s not independence from ...read more

Love Without Limits

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 19, 2017

Jesus challenges the common wisdom of his day, stating God doesn't want us to "love our neighbor and hate our enemy" but to love everyone, including our enemies. This is impossible without the love of God flowing through us.

But God designed your body to resolve anger as quickly as possible and to move on. Resentment and ...read more

The Doctor Is In. Who's Speaking Into Your Life? Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 24, 2013

Lucy is best known in the Peanuts comics for her five cent advice, which is neither helpful or uplifting. Different people spoke into Nehemiah's life and he had to decide who he would listen to.

The Doctor is In I don’t know if Lucy is anyone’s favorite character in the Peanut’s universe. But the reality is that we all either know a Lucy or are a Lucy and if you are a Lucy there is really no way to see that as complimentary. Lucy is not a nice person, she calls ...read more
