    Hebrews 13 contains several life lessons we should have learned a long time ago, but need reminders on from time to time. From friends to marriage partners, Hebrews shows us what is really important.

    Hebrews 13:1-8 Things I Should Have Learned in Kindergarten Robert Fulghum wrote a popular book a while back entitled, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.” I thought of that title when I read today’s scripture. It seems like a list of very important but mostly common sense ...read more

     | 9,592 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.
