    The Ten Commandments are relational in nature. We must apply them in the context of relationship and in the context of love, otherwise they become cold and without true meaning.

    Ronald Regan once said, “I have wondered at times, what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had had to run them through the United States Congress.” Gettysburg Address: 286 words. Declaration of Independence: 1,300 words. U.S. Government regulations on cabbage sales: 26, 911 ...read more

    We want to change – our selves, our lives, our circumstances, but we can’t seem to find the right change that works. We are constantly seeking to change all the things that seem to be so full of promise but empty of real or lasting results.

In it a guy named Jared could instantly become anyone he wanted: a doctor, a cop, a scientist, whatever. He wasn’t really any of those things and ...read more
