    The cure for conflict is the grace of God. The good news is that God gives even more grace when the pressure increases, especially to the humble.

    In our society one of the worst things that can be said of us is, “They are so divisive”. Our society is all about inclusiveness. We are all about acceptance; all about respecting differences; all about making room for all. That is what makes preaching from James 4:1-12 difficult. It is so ...read more

    One of the chief reasons for the current downward spiral of America is our refusal to humble ourselves before God. As long as we refuse to acknowledge our sins before God, we will not be blessed.

About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years.
