    In Joshua 24 Joshua gives an amazing speech about choices, and it boils down to one massive choice: choosing God or choosing idolatry.

    Life is made up of choices. In just one day, you make hundreds of choices—big ones and small ones. If we never had to make choices, we would be robots, programmed to do a specific task.

    Holiness is not about impressing others, but accurately reflecting God’s character through our tone, reactions, and everyday faithfulness.

    We care about what we believe, what we say, and how we live. We want our faith to mean something. We want it to be credible. We want it to make sense to the people who know us best — our families, our coworkers, our children, our neighbors. And yet, if we’re honest, many of us live with a quiet ...read more

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission?
